I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan. I had been friend borrow it for the weekend. When she returned it, she told me she lost the brakes. She brought it to a shop and they fixed the brake line. They told her the whole brake line needs to be replaced. My brakes are very low. They are below the gas pedal when pushed to stop. I feel there is a big problem with this year.
2000 Dodge Caravan - belt keeps coming off during rain/snow -- this effects the power steering making the van very hard to steer --- we hate driving it when it's doing to rain/snow -- this is supposed to be a family van ---- make Dodge fix it --- so far they don't have a solution to the problem but installing new belts/tensioner --- which every 2-3 weeks is expensive along with tows --- please help!
One day on my way to work (about 10 miles from my house) I was going approximately 55 mph when the transmission slammed into second gear and would not shift into another gear. I had my van towed to a shop and it was two sensors in the transmission. The very next day I went to get my van I went to work the van seemed to run like new, and then when I got off of work I rolled down my power window on the drivers side and the window would not roll back up! to have the two sensors fixed was around two hundred dollars and to get the window fixed was one hundred and twenty five dollars and that part for the window was the regulator and the motor, for a new part was like three hundred dollars, I got one used. It has been six months since I got these things replaced and now they are both broke again! the sensors and the drivers side window motor and regulator. I do have the parts that are defective now but I do not have the parts from before.
Sun visor was defective while in use, the sun visor broke off its assembly, preventing the blocking of sunlight while driving. When repositioning the sun visor to block the sun, the sun visor broke off in consumer's hand. Manufacture notified.
A conversion top was put on my Dodge Grand Caravan. The tv has never been properly secured. While driving, the tv flew out of the top, ripping cords, swinging back and forth, while hanging from a cable. The tv just barely missed the head of my child. No one is taking responsibility for this problem. Someone could have been killed. This tv weighs about 10 pounds. The tv bounces around while driving. While bringing this car in for other unrelated service problems, I would always ask them to secure the tv. It was secured by velcro!.
