problem #1

Jun 302006

Caravan 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 82,000 miles
Summary: Control arm bushings replacement parts are on national backlog: Wides-spread occurrence of this defect indicates the need for recall on these parts. Details: Our Dodge Caravan is in need of new control arm bushings, however there is a national backlog for these parts and they will not be available for 4-8 weeks or longer. We believe a recall for this defect is a needed and fair way to handle this, as this defect is obviously so wide-spread as to be unmanageable under normal circumstances. We have contacted Chrysler directly and they have informed us that they will not take any corrective action. VIN: VB482644, mileage: 82,000.
