| Description of the problem | my front brakes have to be changed every three months , my van will stall or act like its going to stall i have to give it gas and after i move for a few it stops, my van is constantly out of line which wears on the tires ,the metal coolant lines that go for the rear heat was rusted and corroded badly causing a huge leak , also the transmission cooler bracket locates in front of radiator broke causing a hole in the radiator, this has not only happened in my 2004 grand caravan but also in my elderly parents 2004 caravan. After reading through all the complaints i do understand that things will happen and go wrong and have to be fixed but when the dealership or the manufacturer doesn't show any interest in wanting to help the consumer there's not much a person can do that is until someone gets hurt and i can guarantee if it happens to be my family there will be an enormous law suit with a lot of publicity lets see how sales do after i get done. |
