2002 Dodge Caravan Sport review from North America
"Never again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Took in for routine oil change to dealer; was told my transmission solenoid was shot but it never leaked or anything. They replaced it under warranty, but when I drove away, the whole dash lighted up with all the lights, i.e. air bag, everything.
Took it back, replaced rad fans, same problem, took it back, replaced computer control module, same problem.
Took it back from May until September and they kept replacing things. Finally in September was told it was AC. I phoned Chrysler down east and was told the AC compressor was a "recall", but neither the dealer nor I was never notified of this, and it was replaced for free.
I also have a clunking noise in the front end that 3 different mechanics cannot find. Have done stabilizing links, still clunks?
General comments?
If anybody is having problems with the AC, it is a Dodge Caravan recall and should be fixed for free.
