Description of the problem	2005 dodge grand caravan purchased april 18, 2005 from enterprise car sales. It already had 24,000 miles on it. In july of 2006- the cv joint broke. The van currently had 39,000 miles on it putting it just out of the warranty by a few thousand miles. The car would not go into any gear since the joint was broken- it made a loud rumbling noise as the gears ground against each other. It had to be put in neutral and pushed into a parking lot. There is no excessive use or abuse of the van to cause this to happen. This should be covered by the manufacturer. Never had i a car or van that had the cv joint go within a year's time. The manufacturer does not supply cv joints- the entire shaft must be replaced. Had i been traveling on a busier highway and at a higher speed, it could have been deadly. I had two small children in the car and had to push the van out of a busy intersection causing a potentially deadly situation. Powertrain coverage used to be standard at 7 years/70,000 mile. Why did this change and become a paid extension of warranty? Dodge should stand behind their product and warranty their powertrains for longer than 36,000 miles. *jb
