Description of the problem	I had purchased my vehicle december 26, 2004. I am the not-so-proud owner of a 2005 dodge grand caravan se. There were 20 k(give or take a thous miles) miles on it when i purchased it, and it currently has just shy of 79k. All of the listed complaints have happened since owning the vehicle for 3 months or less... 1---when i purchased the lemon, i heard a thudding sound, while driving (coming from the front driver wheel well side). I was assured that this was road noise. I persisted something was wrong, on the 3rd attempt, they had tighted/replaced a "sway bushing" (forgive me i think that is what it was called). I didn't hear the noise for a couple of days and it returned. I had brought it in about 3 additional times to 2 different dealers, finally telling me they can not duplicate the problem, their suggestion to be was to turn up the radio!! Out of pure it gets on my !@#$ nerves attitude, took it to another place i 6/07, and replaced the struts and shocks.... Still hear the thudding.... 2. 5 years after initial complaint! 2----my headlights most of the time, do not come on. Or if you are driving at night, they go off without notice... How is this safe for me and my family... Again could not duplicate. 3----my wipers rub funny while in use, which finally caused my back wiper to just not work on 7/4/2005. I go thru an unreasonable pairs of window wipers---once again, could not duplicate. This repair is still on the back burner for me to fix. 4--had to replace the egr valve to pass inspection/emissions.... What about 7/70? 5-rust! I have several rust bubbles coating my white mini-van like a young child coming of age!
