The diesel version of this vehicle has no park gear. Your only option when parking the vehicle is to use the emergency break and leave in neutral. If left in d gear the vehicle will not stay stationary. You must use emergency brake. I've owned this van for 3 years and the parking brake cable freezes when temps are low. It's happened on 3 separate occasions. The first at 50,000miles next at 205,000 and then today at 220,000 miles. When this happens the entire rear brake system including wheel bearing and sensors gets shredded. Each time this has happened it's costs $1500 to fix, its extremely dangerous because every time it locks up we are on the road and the entire system locks up. It starts with a squeal and eventually the wheel locks completely. It's a horrible design flaw and it's going to get someone hurt in more then just their wallet.

Brakes began squeeking within months of my purchase. When I brought it back to the dealer, they said that was common for new brakes. Next time I brought it into the dealer, they said dust creates squeaks. As I continued to drive it the sound increased in volume. Now, at 23,000 miles, the brakes are very loud piercing and screaching. Now dealer says nothing they can do...I am out of warranty. Brakes do not squeak when cool, but withing 20 minutes they get very loud when hot.

There is a defect in the engine electrical system that keeps burning parts out like light bulbs, engine coil packs, & dash components. The suspension in the rear squeeks so badly that you have to wear ear plugs to drive it. The engine smells of antifreeze leaking all the time and the breaks squeal and grind... Our dealer tries to fix things but keeps telling us that dodge has not come up with a fix for my problems as of yet. Dealer refuses to document repair attemps and gives us no paperwork!
