Grand Caravan 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,222 miles
I took my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan in on a Friday to the dealer for the air bag recall (clockspring) and picked up my van up on Friday evening after work. Saturday morning I ran a couple of errands around town and at 12:30 P.M. began to back out of a parking spot and heard a loud noise. I proceeded out of the parking structure and only made it as far as the street before coming to a complete stop. I called for a tow. The tow truck driver said that my wheel on the front driver's side did not appear to be complete attached to the axle. He towed it to the dealer. The service department on Monday informed me that my axle had broken. A broken axle on a 2000 that has 18,222 miles on it. How does this happen under normal driving conditions? I was very lucky this did not happen on a busy street or freeway.
