Van used for disabled person, wheelchair accessible. Van has had NUMEROUS problems with brakes, A/C, heating, window motor for power window, battery terminals, and now transmission failure. This van has been a complete lemon from the moment of purchase.
FIRST OF ALL IT WAS A CERTIFIED GRAND CARAVAN...COVERED UNDER THE 8/80000 WARRANTY...I BOUGHT THE VAN IN GOOD FAITH AND ASSUMED I WOULD HAVE WORRY FREE DRIVING..ONCE THINGS STARTED TO GO WRONG...I CALLED THE WARRANTY PEOPLE AND THEY SAID THE DEALER NEVER REGISTER MY VAN FOR THE WARRANTY..AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT..I HAD MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE WATER PUMP,TRANSMISSION SENSOR,TRANSMISSION STILL IT WAS NOT RUNNING RIGHT..IT WAS NOTHING BUT AGGRAVATION..THE LIGHTS FAILED,THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED,WTF..ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER..THE BRAKES WENT,THE REAR WHEEL LOCKED UP..NEVER EVER AGAIN WOULD I BUY A DODGE PRODUCT EVEN IF YOU GAVE IT TO ME FREE...YOU CAN KEEP IT...
The transmission shuddered and entered the limp home mode. Problem was repaired by swapping the the EATX relay with another relay in the fuse panel. The transmission was working OK, but the swapped relay caused the other circuit to fail. Installing a replacement relay fixed all problems.
1st concerns was my husband dropped me off to work, and once he got to his work-site van just stop working out of the blue. Come to find out the cause was air bag sensor that was defected (twice) and battery died within six months. Brakes were on the verge of going out in less than a year of having the car. Now as we speak the transmission is gone. Thank God for extended warranty, however, wondering if am driving a death trap due to van just stops working and could do so anywhere.
