1996 Dodge Grand Caravan lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 31 of 31, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have been having all kinds of troubles with the radio since I bought it,,,, no big deal,,, untill today when coming home from my parents smoke started coming out of the interior lights control.
Left and right turning signals do not work, consumer feels this is very dangerous when trying to turn off a busy street with other cars behind. *ak the multifunction switch was replaced 3 times, when the signal failed the fourth time the dealer replaced the flashers, the turn signals work fine now.
Battery cracked and leaked acid into wiring cover and air cleaner housing causing vehicle not to start, battery was replaced and began to leak again approximately four months later, seven months later the battery had to be boosted to start vehicle, again dealer replaced the battery, battery was replaced a fourth time along with a faulty starter.
The windshield has a stress crack. Nlm
Air bag light stays on continuosly, the horn no longer works, cruise control no longer works, front interior lights no longer come on when the front doors are opened, cooling fans will not run even with A/C on, hood latch doesn't always release the hood.
The turn signal is an intermittant problem that has been with the van since I have owned it. They just all of a sudden won't work. No lights, no flash, no nothing. Then for some unknown reason they decide to work. We just bought a 2000 chrysler sebring and my wife is experiencing the same thing. Her dealer can't seem to find anything wrong with the sebrings turn signal either. I consider this a safety issue only because, during a rain storm I could not signal other drivers of my intent to change lanes before I got to my exit. This was not a pleasant experience. And yes, you guessed it, the next day they worked fine. Thank you for your help in this matter.
While driving speed control activated without manual operation. Air bag warning light remained illuminated, and headlights could not be manually turned off.please give any further details.
Intermittently windshield wipers become inoperable, obstructing the view of driver. Dealer has replaced multi-function switch, and the problem has reoccurred.
The headlight plastic cover has become "foggy" on the outside which is distorting the actual headlight coverage.
04/1997 - windshield wipers randomly turn on and off. Interior lights also go on and off randomly. Dealer said, "couldn't determine cause." 01/1999 - cruise control and horn stopped working. Air bag light constantly on. Mechanic said, "due to air bag problems"
Windshield wipers still engage by themselves originally repaired 05/99. Transmission went out at30904 miles. Airbag light came on and horn stopped working had to replace click spring. Car stall while driving said it needed tune-up. When using AC or driving in rain and making a turn steering gets stiff and cannot control. Interior lights flash dealer could not duplicate. Power door locks lock and unlock by themselves. Had to replace axle due to it being bent when new transmission was put in. Had to get new tires because axle threw off balance. Keep replacing batteries. Drove car for 10 minutes and fan came on and stayed on after car was turned off.
I purchased this vehicle october of 1995, in march of 96 the fuse block had to be replaced along with a multi function switch because the wipers would come on by themselves while I was driving, a contact and plunger kit because the right sliding door would not always unlock when using the unlock button, the fuel tank was replaced because it only held 12 gallons of gas when it was supposed to hold 18 - 20, the tank was installed so that the tank was bowed in the middle and the front door panel was reattached to the door and the left sliding door was repaired because it would not unlock with the key. In august of 1997 the switch for the interior lights was replaced because the lights would flicker, the left side sliding door lock was replaced again along with the rear door latch. In sept. 0f 97 a gear was replaced for the power steering, the left sliding door had moulding replaced because the clips were broken. In august of 98 the stereo was replaced because the treble would fade, the vehicle shut off while I was driving no one could explain this phenomenon, the relay switch was replaced and the rack and pinion was replaced also the multi-function switch was replaced again. In sept. Of 98 the car was back in the shop because the air bag light came on. Evidently when they replaced the relay switch just 7 days earlier things in the dash started working that had not worked up til that point for instance I was not aware that the chime would go off if the blinker was left on for over a mile. It took 7 days to get my car back because they found out that there were never any screws holding the air bag in the module so as far as I know for the two years that my husband and I were driving this car there was no protection by and air bag. This past week july 1, we were on vacation and we had to replace the transmission to the tune of $l771. The car is back in the shop today (7/6) because it appears that the transmission continues to slip and run at high RPM.please help!!
Transmission failed.
We have had multiple problems in most components of this vehicle including but not limited to both rear sliding doors, front and rear wipers, coolant leakage, engine fan & belt malfunctions, intermittent stalling, transmission failure and continuous malfunction, multiple parking brake malfunction and adjustment problems, multiple interior light malfunction, rear quad seat attachment problem, and other more cosmetic related problems with cracking door panel & poorly installed carpet & seat covers.
Brake wheel cylinder and rotors warped.
While driving vehicle about 45 MPH vehicle stalled on the road, causing lack of acceleration or power. Dealer and manufacturer were contacted. *ak windshield wipers come on by themselves, dealer replaced multifunction switch. Vehicle would not start up and run, dealer replaced battery. Steering wheel shakes while braking, dealer machined rotors.
Master switch for electrical system failed.
Design of the door lock allows for the passenger to open from inside when locked, resulting in accidental opening while traveling 60 MPH.
On several occasions both interior/exterior turn signals will function when switch is engaged. Area dealer not able to correct failure. Please describe details.
When brakes are applied, rubbing noise occurs, followed by difficulty stopping vehicle.
