| Description of the problem | I don't know much about cars- but grand caravans 05 and 06 models are all having rear evaporator's that are breaking down. In fact if you put in "rear evaporator" into google the first link is about the grand caravan problem. That's how bad it is. It's an expensive part and they aren't doing a recall due to bad craftsmanship. I don't think this constitutes a safety recall but american consumers are getting charged for something that is a known defect. |
