problem #4

Jun 152010

Grand Caravan

  • 100,000 miles
The strut tower is defective and fails causing loss of control and possible injury this happens on all new (1995 and newer) body style minivans made by Chrysler/Dodge and driven in climate where salt is used on the roads in the winter. The strut tower requires patches welded to reinforce the corroded area.

problem #2

Jul 152003

Grand Caravan

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles
The car is on it's third transmission. We like the Caravan as a package, but quality is lacking and problematic. The most critical problem is body rust through. The drivers side shock mount tower is rusted through and Chrysler owner relations refusing to fix it. Never mind that the dealers say the problem is prevalent and Chrysler used to fix it but recently stopped paying for (perhaps due to financial and market conditions).

Grand Caravan

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles
The top of the strut tower, under the hood, is rusting. I haven't approached Chrysler, but will try. I have seen this problem on two minivans and am wondering if Chrysler is doing anything about itl.
