The driver window on my grand caravan won't go up or down. The air conditioner doesn't work either and will cost over $1200 to repair. It is not safe to have defective windows. If I was in an accident and the doors were blocked, I would be trapped. I also have 2 children. We live in florida and it is very hot an humid here and there is danger of heat stroke.

The front windows on my grand caravan don't go up or down. They started acting up when the van was still pretty new, and they have been totally non-functional for the past 2 years. It is absolutely miserable in the summer, especially since the air conditioner doesn't work either and will cost over $1500 to fix. It is not safe to have defective windows, especially if there were a crash or other situation where we would need to crawl out the window.

I own a 2001 dodge caravan and the driver side window stopped working for second time . Parts were replaced by dealer worked for a while and then stopped working during a rain event. Window does not work currently.

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?

2001 dodge caravan power windows fail to operate properly. The regulators were replaced twice under warranty and since we have spent over $500 having the regulators replaced and, once again, the windows are not working!

We have a 2001 dodge grand caravan, the driver's side window rolls down, but will not roll up very well. It's 95% broken...in other words, we could drive for hours and try to roll it up and it will not...this has happened many times and no one has ever been hurt, but I don't think it should have to come to that to get a recall ordered. I've seen countless forum posts with people having the same problem.

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.

After lowering the driver's side power window completely, it does not go up on command. After waiting a minute or two, it responds to a new command and goes completely up.

Drivers side power window doesn't want to go up all the time. Sometimes you have to wait several minutes for it to go up again.

Rear windshield wiper failed. Cannot see out of the rear window of my vehicle when driving in the rain, or when salt builds up during the winter. The wiper blade is stuck in the middle of the window, obstructing my view.
