Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge grand caravan. From september of 2007 until may of 2008, the vehicle was taken to the dealer three times for transmission failure. While attempting to accelerate from a red light, the transmission feels as if it will drop to the ground when shifting from first to second gear. On may 14, 2008, the transmission was finally repaired under warranty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection because paint was peeling from the rear passenger side quarter panel. The dealer stated that tar adhered to the paint; therefore, they washed the quarter panel and scraped off the paint. When the vehicle and headlights are turned off, the instrument panel lights, fog lights, and headlights would remain illuminated, even though the switch was in the off position. While the vehicle was parked, the exterior lights would illuminate automatically, which drained the battery. The dealer stated that the headlamp switch shorted out. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the switch on the panel to shut the vehicle doors did not work for two days. It has begun to work again, but the contact believes it is only a matter of time before the switch fails again. The current mileage was 7,000 and failure mileage was 2,500.

My daughter got her thumb in the way of the power sliding door of our dodge grand caravan and the door shut completely on her thumb. I thought the door was supposed to open back up if there was something in the way of it.
The left electric sliding door intermittently stops working after the door opens. The problem eventually fixes itself several engine starts later. This leads me to believe there is an electrical system malfunction that could lead to other electrical component failures. Manually closing the door after it is stuck open does not fix the problem. Driving to a dealership with the door stuck open is unsafe. The dealer will not visit the vehicle to view the problem. If the intermittent problem goes away, the dealer will take no action to resolve the problem.
