| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1996 dodge caravan suffers from intermittent "body control module". one of the possible symptoms of this failure is random failures of the windshield wipers. this failure is unpredictable and apparently widespread over several model years. the body control module is replaceable only at chrysler dealers who charge over $700 to replace this module. they have contracted with some national service facilities to repair the modules (including "united radio" in syracuse ny) but these service facilites are contractually prohibited from performing repairs on modules submitted by anyone except daimler-chrysler. this failure is dangerous and daimler/chrysler is using it as a cash-cow instead of repairing it at no charge.*ak |
