Dodge Grand Caravan just went up in flames while driving within maybe 5 minutes fire fighters control the situation but the motor, battery, everything in front inside hood just melted I really need help I had just finished paying it when this happened. I attribute this to the faulty electrical recalls it has as well as the fuel. Help. At least I want a replacement.

I recently purchased a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan sport 3.3 liter,18,000 miles on odometer when purchased, vehicle wants to pull to right, and brakes pulsate when applied. Notified Dodge dealership where purchased, (lee Dodge, West brook, Maine) brought vehicle back for service and was told "they" could not duplicate problem"???? I told them I felt vehicle was out of alignment, they supposedly did the alignment, and vehicle still pulls to right! at this point they had a tech. Go with me, the tech explained that he felt it was the crown of the road, I have driven plenty of vehicles over the course of my life and I am aware of a road crown, but this is completely unacceptable, something is wrong with this mini van, and all the dealership wants to do is patronize me!!! I have made another call to lee Dodge and told them that I will be bringing this back to them and they had better get it right this time! ps and since my previous visit I now have a vibration in my steering wheel upon slow moving turning, they say they will also look into this.....................is any one else experiencing these types of problems??" please help, I just bought this vehicle for my wife and 3 kids, and I sure do want to be certain its a safe vehicle! I have only had this vehicle 10 days!! purchased on 5-28-03 dealer was notified 1 and a half days later of these problems..............

The van is subject to drift to the right with the owner being told that the drifting is a safety feature to keep van from veering into on-coming traffic. The owner was told that the van should drift one lane 3/4 of a mile. The dealership is going to adjust the cradle to minimize the drifting. The owner has contacted several independent mechanics, police officers, etc., to inquire if this is true or not about the drifting being a safety feature. Nlm
