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 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle was leaking water from the cooling system and overheating. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that hoses for the cooling system needed to be replaced. There were no recalls addressing the failure. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to inform NHTSA. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 58,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Air conditioner failed prematurely, at this time the car has 45,000 the failure must have happened before 40,000. Cooling A/C is not working, blowing warm air. Looking online found many 08 Grand Caravan owners with same complaints. Car after warranty will cost $135 to inspect and refill. I asked the dealer to pressure check the hoses for leaks, they said they will do a color dye check on the A/C system hoses. Brakes were done at 12,000 miles failed again at 35,000, this time I am not going to have the dealer fix it, I am ordering reybestos hybrid rotors and advanced performance brake pads. Warning - Dodge oem brakes and rotors are pos, do not let Dodge install them. I am also considering replacing the calipers with reworked caliper from another source. Horrible noise from rear brakes, when driving and the brake is not engaged. Slight right turns also cause squeaks/grind noise that sound like its coming from rear. When brake is engaged the noise stops.
