This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving at 50 mph, the horn and cruise control failed to function and the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 04V480000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. I am quite certain my clockspring has broken and my airbag light stays lit all the time, and my horn and cruise control does not work. I believe Chrysler has not issued a recall for the 2000 model, but only for the 1996-1998 models. Yet searching the web reveals many, many problems with the 2000 models as well. This is a safey issue causes by Chrysler's equippment and should be a provided free repair. Chrysler does not offer to repair it for free. I am currently out of my printing career and am having difficulty finding work again, so the $250 plus to have this repaired is a heavy load at this time. Chrysler should take care of this for all the 1999 and 2000 models as well. I know the NHTSA is investigating this, but with hundreds of complains already filed, how much more information does it need to act" I dont know the process, but what should I do now" this is a saftey issue, and this is our familiy vehicle. Plus, the annual inspection is coming up in less than 4 months, and it will not pass without the horn and cruise and airbag broken. Thank you for any information and advice you can give me. Thanks again! john calogrides
I like to file a complaint regarding 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. This vehicle has experienced the same problem other owners have complained about regarding the horn and air bag not functioning due to a defective clockspring harness. Chrysler has refused to recall this component or acknowledge this as a safety issue other than saying it should be fixed. Most mini-van owners Transport families in these vehicles and it is a shame that Chrysler won't do anything about it.
