"Love the style and convenience, but it seems to be falling apart"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Thump in the back with a full tank of gas.

Windshield wipers went on for no reason.

Air conditioning failed just after the 36,000 mile warranty.

Front end rattles like a covered wagon. Dealer cannot find the trouble.

General comments?

Dealer assured us that the gas tank thump would not cause a problem.

Wipers were fixed by the dealer.

Daimler Chrysler agreed to pay for 75% of the $900.00 AC repair after warranty.

Front end still rattles continually over small bumps in the road. It is not getting better & we feel that something will fall apart someday.

Check the sway bar links for your rattle.

I had something similar on our 94 Grand Caravan. Described it to the dealer as a rock rattling in the hubcap. I was prepared for a big repair, but it turned out to be... a loose center cap.
