The contact had recall repair work done on air conditioner drain hose. After the dealer finished the work, the dealer charged the contact $91 for the service.

2002 Chrysler Dodge minivans are prone to leaking water into the passenger side foot well area when the air conditioner is operating. This problem has happened for the past three years, and has been fixed three times by the dealership. The consumer had to pay after the warranty ran out. The air conditioner compressor failed prematurely. The consumer has had the compressor replaced, the warranty paid for that. The compressor failed in June of 2005. The vehicle has 69,000 miles. The leaking depended on how much the air conditioner was used.

The consumer heard a shuttering noise coming from the front right tire when turning the steering wheel to the right. The rack and pinion was replaced but the problem still existed. The consumer was told the power steering was the problem and had already been replaced. Also when the A/C was turned on, it made a loud noise.

problem #1

Caravan 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,426 miles
The A/C unit leaked down the firewall on the inside passenger side of my Caravan and ruined the carpet. It was repaired in Feb. 2003 under warranty. In March 2004 we noticed mold on the floor. The same thing had happened again. Chrystler knows that they have a problem with this because they put out a tbs 24-008-02 to fix it. Problem is it doesn't always work (according to service reps.) we are sueing them to fix it again.
