Bought van used about a yr ago - is a 2003 dodge grand caravan- issues since purchase not satifyingly dealt with are ( between end dec 05 to mid nov 06- noticed brakes noises since bought it - several calls and a check they said there was dust making the noise - less than 9 mo later needed to replace the pads and rotars - they made excuses they wear out - had they informed me they were wearing out when they found dust id have had them in long before needing rotars fixed - since new brakes and rotars in october hear same noise and they dismiss it. Also - have trouble with lights and heat and electrical components dimming and seeming to die out when decelerating a lot since I bought it - had it in ad called several times - they say they cant see anything wrong adn that dodge was made to do that ? . Not happy with my purchase and feel I am out near 20,000 - also ABS light came on shortly after brakes repaired this month- covered item but less than deductible so stuck with near 85 dollar bill - they said again this just happens - seems that is standard answer to trouble it just happens - I dont feel the brakes just happened and I am sure the light trouble could be a hazard if it stalled completely on a busy road. Dodge should look closer at thier vehicles. Am also gonna check out vehicle for the other trouble stated here in regards to seatbelts and cracks - have children and that is major safety issue - if it happens and anyone is hurt you can bet ill be running to a lawyer - same with the down idle with brrakeing and ABS going out - just praying for no injuries - note that printout I recieved today has old owners stuff on it and noticed that the noise from tires and front is not a new problem thay had it in several times also for it. Oh - and guess what they charge for a 2 inch trailer hitch ball - 89.00!!! Had I known that id have gone to walmart and paid wayyyy less. All for the cashola an not the good of th customer I suppose huh?

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Dt*: the contact stated while driving in wet conditions the ABS light illuminated. Afterwards, when the roads dried off the light went off. The dealership was alerted and stated this occurred because the sensor was wet. The contact feels that if the light illuminates the ABS is not working properly.
When the wheel speed sensors gets moist it causes the ABS light to stay on ,and the ABS brakes to malfunction. This problem happensix times in two years.
I purchased my dodge grand caravan in november 2002 and since then I have had to have the ABS sensor replaced on the right rear wheel six times. Despite the continuous problem the dealership service department has stated that there can be no underlying cause for this failure.
Consumer purchased vehicle new on 12/20/02. Abs warning light illuminated indicating the the anti-lock braking system is not functioning. Vehicle is currently being checked by dealer. Ts
