2004 Dodge Caravan Problems

FUEL LEAKING FROM TOP OF FUEL TANK

ENGINE OFTEN HESITATES AFTER YOU HAVE DRIVEN A FEW BLOCKS AFTER REFUELING. THIS FORM ASKS FOR A SINGLE SPECIFIC DATE BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED EVERY FEW WEEKS FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. DEPENDING UPON THE TRAFFIC SITUATION WHEN THE HESITATION OCCURS, AND ACCIDENT COULD EASILY OCCUR. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE LIQUID/VAPOR SEPARATOR VALVE ON THE GAS TANK IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS VALVE IS A PART OF THE TANK AND CANNOT BE REPLACED AS A SEPARATE ITEM, SO THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL. A BRIEF SEARCH ON THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF DODGE CARAVANS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN ABOUT 2004 AND 2007 ARE REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

I ORIGINALLY FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE PAD MANUFACTURER BUT IT SEEMS TO BE THE COMPOSITE PISTON IN THE CALIPER THAT IS INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT. THE PEDAL TRAVEL GOES TO ZERO AND THE BRAKE IS LOCKED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND A HAZARD. IT WOULD BE EASY FOR THESE BRAKES TO FAIL IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS AND HAVE THE GREASE MELT OUT OF THE BEARINGS FROM THE HEAT AND BRAKE FLUID TO BOIL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED ITS ENTIRE LIFE AND MAINTAINED. IT IS CHRYSLER THAT IN THE INTEREST OF PROFIT CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I REPLACED THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 DODGE CARAVAN WITH DURALAST BRAKES FROM AUTO ZONE. THERE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE TOLERANCES ON THE PADS. I HAVE BEEN INSTALLING BRAKES FOR 50 YEARS. THERE IS A SEVER DEFECT WITH THESE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE PADS WILL NOT ALLOW THE CALIPER TO RETRACT THE PADS WEDGE AGAINST THE ROTOR-DISC. THEY CAUSED A VEHICLE FIRE FROM THE EXTREME HEAT. I CONTACTED AUTO ZONE AND INSTALLED ANOTHER SET . THIS TIME IT CAUSED THE BRAKE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE TO OVERHEAT. I GOT A THIRD SET THIS TIME I MEASURED THE PADS WITH A VERNIER CALIPER ACCURATE TO 1/1000 INCH AND THEY VARIED BY A 1/10 OF AN INCH WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS. THAT JUST ACCOUNTS FOR UNACCEPTABLE MEASUREMENTS AND NOT SPECIAL OR ORIENTATIONAL DEFECTS WHICH I SUSPECT EXIST BUT HAVE NO EXACT PATTERN TO COMPARE. THESE BRAKES ARE AN EXTREME HAZARD. *TR

INTERMITTENT HORN TURNING ON. CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH FRONT CONTROL MODULE. THEY THINK HORNPAD IS AT FAULT AND WILL FURTHER SHORT CLOCKSPRING AND FRONT CONTROL MODULE

WHEN I CHANGED MY VEHICLE BATTERY TO A NEW ONE THE GAS ONLY DROPS TO A HALF A TANK ITS WILL NOT GO DOWN TO EMPTY BUT MY LOW FUEL LIGHT WORKS STILL MY GAS GAUGE DOES NOT. HOW DO I FIX IT OR RESET IT. *TR

2004 DODGE CARAVAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL TANK EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE THAT APPLIES TO VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED AND HAS SINCE CONTINUED. THE STALLING OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE EGR SENSOR.*JB

MY FIRST GAS TANK FILL AFTER PURCHASING THE USED VEHICLE RESULTED WITH CONSTANT STALLING FOR THE NEXT 1/2 MILE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS. I DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK. THE VEHICLE NOW STALLS ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME AFTER I FILL THE TANK. AFTER ABOUT 6/10TH OF A MILE ,THE PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF. ONE TIME I COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT WHEN AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL AND HAD TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT & I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR IN NEUTRAL TO TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS MOVING & MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT THE SAME TIME ! I AM NOW FORCED TO PARK THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER FILL UP BEFORE I CAN SAFELY TAKE IT BACK ON THE ROADWAY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 -2007 CHRYSLER & DODGE MINIVANS. I HAVE VIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GIVE UP THEIR LIFE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? THERE IS A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE GAS TANKS & THE TANKS HAVE TO BE REPLACED ! *TR

NOT 100% BUT PROBABLY 40% - 60% OF THE TIME I REFUEL - ESPECIALLY A FULL TANK - THE CAR WILL TEND TO HESITATE AND STALL WITHIN THE FIRST 90 SECONDS OF GETTING BACK ON THE ROAD. SEEMS LIKE IT HAS NOT DONE IT A LOT LATELY BUT I JUST HAD SOME WORK DONE BY THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER INCLUDING NEW WIRES AND PLUGS. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT RAN FINE. I PUT IN PROBABLY 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN IT AND IT BEGAN HESITATING AND STALLING WORSE THAN IT HAD IN SOME TIME. THE WEATHER WAS ALSO QUITE A BIT COOLER THAN IT HAD BEEN IN 6 MONTHS. I ALSO READ AN ARTICLE IN USA TODAY ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SINCE 2007 WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR USED. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT IN THE PAST AND THE COULD IDENTIFY NOTHING SPECIFIC. FIGURED I WOULD REGISTER THE COMPLAINT SINCE I HEARD OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

AS I WENT TO STOP THE FRONT WHEELS SLID LIKE THEY WERE ON ICE. I WAS ON A PUBLIC RD. [BLACK TOP] I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED AT COSTCO WHERE THEY WERE PURCHASED IN 2012. IN THE SPRING OF 2013, I WAS GOING TO PUT NEW BRAKES ON THE REAR OF MY 2004 MINIVAN, AND COULD NOT GET TWO OF THE LUG NUTS OFF. SO I JUST PUT IT OFF FOR A WHILE. ON JULY 30, 2013, I WENT OUT TO GET IN MY VAN AND HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THAT SAME WHEEL. I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE TIRE AND TWO OF THE STUD BOLTS BROKE. I REMOVED THE REST OF THE LUGNUTS AND TOOK THE TIRE TO BE REPAIRED AT COSTCO. ON THE 31ST, I TOOK MY VAN TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM, SO I WANTED THEM TO PUT NEW BRAKES ON AND REPLACE THE WHEEL STUDS. AS THEY WERE DOING THE REPAIR, TWO MORE OF THE STUDS BROKE. THIS IS NOW 4 WHEEL STUDS ON THE SAME WHEEL. NONE OF THE LUG NUTS WERE REMOVABLE FROM THESE BOLTS. I THOUGHT THAT COSTCO HAD OVERTIGHTENED THE LUG NUTS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND SEEING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM WONDERING IF THE BOLTS ARE DEFECTIVE. IN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING CARS AND REPAIRING A LOT OF THEM MYSELF, I HAVE NEVER HAD A BROKEN WHEEL STUD. I AM THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. IF THESE BOLTS ARE DEFECTIVE, HOW STRONG ARE THEY WHEN I AM DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

INTERMITTENT HORN TURNING ON. CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH FRONT CONTROL MODULE. THEY THINK HORNPAD IS AT FAULT AND WILL FURTHER SHORT CLOCKSPRING AND FRONT CONTROL MODULE

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING CLOCKSPRING. THIS DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS WAS RECALLED ON EARLIER MODEL CARAVANS BUT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED ON 2001 AND NEWER MODELS WHICH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE VEHICLE PURCHASE AND HAS HAD INACTIVE AIRBAGS. RECENTLY, WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL HARD DURING A POWER STEERING RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT, THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN TO TURN ON AND OFF CLEARLY DUE TO SHORTED WIRING AT THE CLOCKSPRING TERMINALS.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR KEEPS COMING OFF TRACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. JUST OPERATING THE DOOR CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN, AND IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION TOO, WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE IS MODIFIED BY BRAUN FOR HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY. THERE IS A METAL RAMP WHICH WILL COME DOWN IF THE DOOR OPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE A FLAT TIRE HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE CABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CABLE WOULD NEED TO BE SEVERED IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE SPARE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED NOR WAS THE WIRE SEVERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I WAS LEAVING WORK, WHEN I SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT THE SEAT BROKE AND FELL BACK. THE BROKEN PART IS ACTUALLY THE FRAME OF THE SEAT, NOT THE TILT MECHANISM. THE TUBULATION THAT COMPRISED THE SEAT FRAME CATASTROPHICALLY BROKE ADJACENT TO THE WELDMENT. THIS PART SHOULD NEVER FAIL.

CLOSED ALL DOORS USING THE KEY FOB AND WENT TO CHURCH. THE REAR SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY FOB. GOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND YOU CAN NOT MANUALLY PULL THE LEVER UP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT APPEARS THE PASSENGER DOOR IS BEGINNING TO MALFUNCTION ALSO. KEY FOB WON'T OPEN IT, BUT YOU CAN OPEN MANUALLY. TIRES WEAR OUT QUICKLY IN THE FRONT. I ALSO LOST A TAIL LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT JUST SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME THING BEGINNING TO HAPPEN TO THE OTHER TAIL LIGHT. DODGE IS MAKING A KILLING ON THESE. THEY ARE APPROXIMATELY 113 DOLLARS!!! NOW MY AIR CONDITIONER HAS COLD AIR , BUT NOT BLOWING. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON ALL BY THEMSELVES AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN WE STOPPED AND TURNED THE VAN CONPLETELY OFF THEY WERE STILL GOING. EVERYTHING WAS POSITIONED ON OFF THERE WAS NO POWER ON IN THE VAN AT ALL. *TR

MYSTERIOUSLY MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING LAST NIGHT. HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. AS WELL AS MY WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID PUMP WILL NOT TURN ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR. WHY HASN'T DODGE DONE A RECALL IT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM IS FAR TOO WIDESPREAD AND COMMON IN THESE VANS. *TR

2004 DODGE CARAVAN SXT. ' WHINE' NOISE AND HIGH FREQUENCY VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. NOISE IS MOST NOTICEABLE IN COLD WEATHER AND WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT. VEHICLE HAS 54 THOUSAND MILES NOW. DEALER DID A FACTORY BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE AT ABOUT 30 THOUSAND, DID NOT FIX PROBLEM AND RESULTED IN THE SMELL OF FLUID/CHEMICAL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT THAT WAS VERY SLOW TO GO AWAY. DISGUSTING ! *TR

I USE THE EVENFLO CHASE DLX BOOSTER CAR SEAT FOR MY 3 YEAR OLD. MOST OF THE TIME WE DON'T HAVE OCCASION TO REMOVE THE SEAT, BUT BECAUSE I WAS LEAVING HER WITH MY MOM OVERNIGHT, I WANTED TO TAKE THE SEAT OUT FOR HER USE. WHEN I TRIED TO REINSTALL THE SEAT THE FOLLOWING EVENING, THE LOWER "TETHER" SNAPPED COMPLETELY OUT AT THE PLASTIC "BOLT" ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT. THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I HAD TO INSTALL THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT AND "H CLIP". MY CONCERN IS IF I HADN'T UNINSTALLED/REINSTALLED THE SEAT, USING THE VEHICLE TETHER SYSTEM, AND I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP OR BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, MY DAUGHTER MAY HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE SEAT IS STILL USABLE WITH THE SEAT BELT, HOWEVER, THIS MATTER IS OF GREAT CONCERN. I DON'T WANT ANY OTHER PARENT TO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND THINK THEIR CHILD IS SAFE. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2004, MAKE=DODGE, MODEL=CARAVAN). *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FOUR SCREWS THAT HOLD THE ADJUSTMENT BAR LOCATED ON THE BACK OF THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT HAVE LOOSENED OVER TIME RESULTING IN COMPLETE DETACHMENT OF THE ADJUSTMENT BAR. THE ADJUSTMENT BAR IS USED TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE SHOULDER STRAPS AND WITHOUT THE SCREWS THE STRAPS CAN NO LONGER BE ADJUSTED. THE ADJUSTMENT BAR COULD PROBABLY BE SCREWED BACK INTO PLACE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT EXPRESSED HESITATION DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED WHO PROVIDED NO REASSURANCE FOR CONTINUALLY USE OF THE SAFETY SEAT. THE SEAT WAS ONLY IN USE FOR THREE YEARS AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT IS DOREL JUVENILE GROUP. THE BRAND NAME IS COSCO. THE MODEL # IS: 22-260 HOU. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE HORN, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. APPROXIMATELY FOUR DAYS AFTER THE HORN FAILURE, THE AIR CONDITIONING FAILED AS WELL. THE CONTACT SUFFERS FROM A HEALTH CONDITION AND HAS BEEN FORCED TO MONITOR HER VITALS TWICE A DAY DUE TO THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS LATER, THE RADIO FAILED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

2004 DODGE CARAVAN HAS SMALL PIECES OF FIBER GLASS COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. *MR THIS PROBLEM GETS ALL OVER THE DASH. THE INSULATION WAS COMING FROM THE A/C COIL COVERING. THE CONSUMER MAKES A LOT OF LONG TRIPS AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS BREATHING THIS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2000 CARAVAN. THE FACTORY REPLACED THE A/C COIL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. *SC *JB

WHILE SHIFTING GEARS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER HEARD A SPRAYING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THIS SOUND OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. ALSO, WHEN SLOWING DOWN CONSUMER HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. DEALER RESPONDED BY SAYING THE SOUNDS THAT CONSUMER HEARD WERE NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK
