All major repairs done on this van have been done through Dodge dealerships. This vehicle has had more work done on it in it's first three years than any other car I ever owned, even more than my Volvo. The repairs, whether under warranty or not causes an extreme inconvenience to the owner. (ie: Taking off work, transporting young children, doing without a vehicle, paying for unwarrantied repairs. There are several things wrong with this vehicle that we have not repaired because they do not threaten the safety of the occupants, such as; windshield wipers inadvertantly turn on by themselves, automatic door locks do not work on driver sliding door or passenger door. Lights have to be turned off manually sometimes after starting vehicle. This has been a high maintenance vehicle. It surprises me I cannot find any complaints about this vehicle because asking around to those I notice has one, complain about similar type problems. Transmission being the most major complaint.

Soon after purchase airbag light would intermittenly come on, however, my husband had an accident in November of 98 and they did not deploy and have remained on all the time. Also, our horn and cruise quit working and still does not. We don't know if it was because of accident or body repair. We have been attempting to get our car ins. Co. to do something but to date they still haven't.
