| Description of the problem | I bought my 2012 dodge grand caravan in march of 2012, and by the end of that same year had to have new tire put on the front of the van, (they were completely worn). I have had problems with the electronic drivers set not working in fact has not worked properly since i have had the van, and when i took it to have it looked at they of course could find nothing wrong, to this date it is stuck in the same position and will not move. The sliding automatic doors, at times do not work for great periods of time and sound very grinding when they are working. Then with in those same few months in 2012 the van started to rust inside the gas door. It has been fixed twice already at dealership and still rusts! I have also had to replace the breaks and rotors on the back and now they are needing to be done on the front. I have approx. 30,000 miles on my van. The other complaint with van is the lack of a/c power, and that it sometimes feels that the engine is bogged down with no load, or is hesitant jerky. |
