| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Had the 1696 dodge grand caravan for almost 3 years , electrical problems i think. the speedometer, odometer, gear selector, water coolant gauge, fuel gauge stops working while driving and when i shut car off the gear selector and odometer stays illuminated even with the car off and lights off , or on.. also the tachometer freezes up on a certain rpm . depending what the rpm was when everything stoped working right.. windshield wipers turn on automatically but 99.9% of the time they wont shut off even if i select it to shut off , they keep going and going even on dry days and no rain .took it to mechanic and they cant find what is wrong with it and they charge me 60 to 90 dollars just to test it and they never come up with a solution unless they disconnect the battery and let it sit for a few minutes so the computer or something resets, but this happens about every 3 to 6 months and also before this happens the car runs rough at idle or sitting at a red light or at a stop . the driver seat buckle sometimes dont unlatch, i have to use extra force to unlatch them, sometimes i dont even wear a seat belt cause i am scared that if something happens and i need to get out of the car quickly that i wont be able to. the middle bench seat seems loose , everythime i come to a stop or i take off a clucking sound comes from the middle row seats, i checked it and it seemed like its all locked in but i dont trust it.. i would never purchase a chrysler product ever again even if it is given to me for free or even give it to my worst enemy.. thank you .. jz.*ak |
