Dodge Caravan 2001 — Reported problems

There is no incident, however I would like to report a manufacturer problem. Many manufacturers put vehicles on the market with front headlights that are too bright and not aimed properly. See [XXX] There are regulations for the lumens of headlights and system of reflectors, but I assume manufacturers are not be watched for violations. Where I live, in Sarasota, FL, I am blinded by all the vehicle lights at night because lights appear to be on bright when they aren't. Something is very wrong. I don't think everyone is having aftermarket LED lights installed. I think they are coming from the manufacturers that way. Can you help?

I NEED TO KNOW IT MY VEHICLE HAS ANY RECALLS I'M HAVING SOME MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT IT.

AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP AND AT SPEEDS AROUND 45-50 THE ACCELERATION STICKS AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE,OR SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE SERVO TO THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ELIMINATE THE CRUISE AS THE CAUSE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS OFTEN.

FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING GASOLINE. THERE IS A PRESSURE DAMPER THAT IS ON THE RAIL THAT IS NON SERVICEABLE AND IT IS LEAKING FUEL ONTO RAIL THAT IS CAUSING THE SMELL TO ENTER THE CABIN. DEALER SAYS FUEL RAIL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO EFFECT PROPER REPAIR. FUEL LEAKS ANY TIME ENGINE IS RUNNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I DRIVING DOWN STREET MY VAN JUST DIE ON ME IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TRY TO GIVE GAS AND IT DIE ON ME AGAIN, I SO SCARED . I HAVE MY KIDS IN MY VAN. *TR UPDATED 12/5/2014 *JS

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY. HORN WILL NOT WORK .CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK. *TR

GOT REAR ENDED AND SEAT BROKE SENDING DRIVER ACROSS VAN WITH SEAT BELT IN TAC. *TR

I WENT TO THE STORE TODAY, DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD AT ABOUT 45 MPH, MY DRIVERS SIDE VENT WINDOW SUDDENLY CAME LOOSE! I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, TOO LATE! IT FLEW INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC AND SHATTERED ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THE "HINGE" TO THE GLASS IS BARELY THERE. OBVIOUSLY, THE GLUE DID NOT HOLD TO A PAINTED SURFACE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE HORN WOULD NOT SOUND UPON ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WE GOT INTO OUR 2001 DODGE CARAVAN AND STARTED TO DRIVE IT AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUSPENSION. I PULLED THE VAN OVER AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT WAS UP THROUGH INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT! I BELIEVE THE HOUSING IS RUSTED THROUGH, WHICH ALLOWED THE STRUT TO POKE ALL THE WAY OUT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERING MULTIPLE CODES IN THE ODBII SYSTEM. OF WHICH ONE WAS A OPEN INJECTOR CIRCUIT. VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND RUN ROUGH. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE FUEL INJECTOR WIRING HARNESS THAT WAS ROUTED DIRECTLY ABOVE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD THE INSULATION MELTED CAUSING MULTIPLE FUEL AND EMISSION CONTROL WIRES TO BE SHORTED. A SEARCH FOR THE FUEL WIRING HARNESS AT MULTIPLE SALVAGE YARDS SHOWED THE EXACT SAME CONDITION TO EXIST ON 4 OF 5 VEHICLES. ONE CAN SPECULATE THE ROUTING OF THE HARNESS OVER THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD COMBINED WITH SUBSTANDARD WIRE INSULATION CAUSED THE INSULATION TO MELT. *TR

WE PURCHASED 4 BRIDGESTONE INSIGNIA SE200 TIRES IN MAY 2009. THUS FAR 3 HAVE FAILED. FIRST, MECHANIC NOTED WHEN WE TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE BALANCE AND ROTATION. SECOND, DRIVER NOTED VIBRATION ON HIGHWAY. TIRE REPLACED 6/4/12. 3RD, DRIVER NOTED FRONT END PULLING, SUBSEQUENTLY EXTREME VIBRATION ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE PARKED AT AIRPORT FOR 3 DAYS; UPON RETURN, TIRE WAS FLAT WITH A SECTION BULGED AND SEPARATED. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG, THE HORN AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DO NOT WORK. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THESE DEFECTS ARE CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. THIS WAS A MATTER OF RECALL FOR THE DODGE CARAVAN AND GRAND CARAVAN, PLYMOUTH VOYAGER AND GRAND VOYAGER AND CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY FROM THE 1996-2000 MODEL YEARS. OUR CAR IS 2001 MODEL AND IS NOT IN A RECALL LIST, BUT IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THE DEFECT WAS NOT FIXED IN 2001 YEAR MODELS. AM I ALONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS UNFIXED PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE CARAVAN SPORT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CONFIRMED THE VIN FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 01I003000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

WAS COMING HOME WHEN I SMELT A BURNING SMELL. I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT STILL SMELT THE SMELL. I TURNED BACK ON THE CAR TO PULL OVER MORE IN THE LIGHT TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON (IT WAS DARK). WHEN I TURNED BACK ON THE CAR NOTHING ON THE DASHBOARD WORKED, NO BLINKERS, NO TEMP GAUGE, NO GAS GAUGE, NO RPM, NO SPEEDOMETER. ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER, STILL AT THE GAS STATION I DECIDED TO PRESS THE TRIP BUTTON AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON BUT MY DOOR AJAR BUTTON FLASHES ON AND OFF INCLUDING THE LIGHTS THAT COME ONE WHEN THE DOOR OPENS, WITH THE DINGING AND THE LOCKS GO CRAZY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO I DID NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WOULD CATCH FIRE. BUT IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THEY HAVE JUST FAILED TO REPORT IT SO IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED! I HAD ALL MY 5 CHILDREN WITH ME, I THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO STAY SAFE. I LOCAL DEALER HAS LOOKED AT IT AND SAYS IT IS THE INTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE INTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS MELTED AND THAT IS WHY I WAS SMELLING A BURN SMELL. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN GOES OUT. I BELIEVES IT THE SAME PROBLEM COVERED FOR PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS INCLUDED IN THE CLOCK SPRING NHTSA RECALL 04V480000. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL YEAR MODELS SINCE IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS DRIVING SPEEDS. *TR

FRONT DRIVER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND A WHOPPING $330.00 EACH TIME. PASSENGER WINDOW IS NOW ACTING UP. WILL ROLL DOWN BUT NOT UP, AND SOMETIMES WON'T MOVE AT ALL.
