| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Our 2008 grand caravan has been in the dealership for repair 7 times since purchase. The last occurrence almost caused my wife to be in an accident. The turn signals of the vehicle stopped working. Along with that the windows would not function nor would the ac. She had to restart the van twice to get the turn signals working again. While driving to the dealership for service, the vehicle shut off and restarted on its own while in motion. The dealer determined that it was the ignition node and replaced on 6-19-08. We have requested a buy back due to safety issues but have not been granted one at this time. |
