I have had consistant problems with the 94 caravan. As soon as I get one problem fixed, another one pops up. I have been informed by the transmission shop that there is a high failure rate for dodge caravan transmissions. This has me highly concerned as I do not want to have to worry about another transmission failure. This is the 2nd time I am having the A/C system fixed. As for the door latch for the sliding door not working correctly, there is nothing I or my husband am aware of that would cause it to work and then not to work on and off. This is of great concern since this is the family car and I have no idea of when the latch may fail. So far this has not happened with my children in car, just myself . Egr valve was affecting engine performance and milage.

The rear door latch fails to operate correctly now. Dealership service writer said it was due to the rear door latch being bent. We have not done anything that we know of that would have caused this to occur. Suspect too weak a component being used in the manufacture of the vehicle. We have had other min-vans where the side door was used more freguently than on our current vehicle without any of the same problems ocurring. Strongly feel that this is a manufacturing defect and we should not have to pay for any repairs.3 4rrone
