| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bought van used about a yr ago - is a 2003 dodge grand caravan- issues since purchase not satifyingly dealt with are ( between end dec 05 to mid nov 06- noticed brakes noises since bought it - several calls and a check they said there was dust making the noise - less than 9 mo later needed to replace the pads and rotars - they made excuses they wear out - had they informed me they were wearing out when they found dust id have had them in long before needing rotars fixed - since new brakes and rotars in october hear same noise and they dismiss it. also - have trouble with lights and heat and electrical components dimming and seeming to die out when decelerating a lot since i bought it - had it in ad called several times - they say they cant see anything wrong adn that dodge was made to do that ? . not happy with my purchase and feel i am out near 20,000 - also abs light came on shortly after brakes repaired this month- covered item but less than deductible so stuck with near 85 dollar bill - they said again this just happens - seems that is standard answer to trouble it just happens - i dont feel the brakes just happened and i am sure the light trouble could be a hazard if it stalled completely on a busy road. dodge should look closer at thier vehicles. am also gonna check out vehicle for the other trouble stated here in regards to seatbelts and cracks - have children and that is major safety issue - if it happens and anyone is hurt you can bet ill be running to a lawyer - same with the down idle with brrakeing and abs going out - just praying for no injuries - note that printout i recieved today has old owners stuff on it and noticed that the noise from tires and front is not a new problem thay had it in several times also for it. oh - and guess what they charge for a 2 inch trailer hitch ball - 89.00!!! had i known that id have gone to walmart and paid wayyyy less. all for the cashola an not the good of th customer i suppose huh? *nm |
