Power window failure by model year
What owners say
I am second owner of '01 dodge grand caravan. Bought it in '05. In the summer of 2006, passenger side window stopped working properly. When first started going bad, window would go down, but not up. Had to pull up on window while hitting switch to get it to go up. Online forum states this window regulator is a big problem with the chrysler's/dodges, numerous complaints have been filed and no recall as of yet. I'm in the process of getting another regulator for this window but from what I've read, the after market regulators are just as bad as the originals! What to do?
The regulator on the front driver side and passenger side windows are faulty. My van was built in canada and it appears to be a common trait of those vehicles. This is a serious defect that could result in injuries. I went to my local dealer and had the passenger window regulator replaced once already. Now both the passenger and drivers window are acting up again. I hope I can get some help.
Dt: the problem first started with the driver's side window in april 2005. The window started moving slower and then it locked. The contact took vehicle to the dealership on april 18, 2005, and they replaced the window motor regulator. Then, the passenger's side window did the same thing over a period of time. On october 7, 2005 it locked in a lower position. The contact was taking vehicle to the dealership.
Vehicle has 37000 miles and has had front brakes replaced (25000 miles) / new driver side power window motor assy. Installed (not under warranty @ cost of $210 +) / front sway bar repaired (not under warrany either) and now the air conditionong is not working.....dealer says it will have to replace the complete system...estimate is for $1,284 plus tax!!!) are you kidding me! I have no faith in the dodge gran caravan product. This is a $30k vehicle. It should not be having these kind of issues w/ only 37000 highway miles.
I own a 2001 dodge grand caravan sport. I have experienced problems with the power windows on both the driverside and passenger side. The windows will intermittenly work. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and paid 210.72 just for the repair of driverside. The dealer did not have the part in stock for the passengerside. The dealer stated that they replaced the power window regulator. I am still waiting for the passengerside regulator to come in so that too can be replaced. This concerns me because I would not be able to open the windows in case of an emergency, whereas I would not be able to open the door.
