2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Problems

Subject: Manufacturer and Dealer Non-Compliance / Obstruction of Federal Safety Recalls Vehicle: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Description of Problem: I am filing a formal complaint against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)/Mopar and its authorized dealer network for active non-compliance, negligence, and obstruction regarding 7 open federal safety recalls on my vehicle. Authorized franchise dealerships have repeatedly refused to initiate the recall process, scan my vehicle's VIN, or open a formal Repair Order to place required parts on backorder. One dealership nonchalantly dismissed the safety hazards, claiming parts are entirely unavailable because the recalls date back to 2010.( United Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at Jeep Ram [XXX]) Another dealership employee, Craig, used hostile and coercive tactics when discussing service terms, creating an intimidating environment that makes it a safety risk for me to physically bring my vehicle to that location.(Star Chrysler Jeep Dodge FIAT 21110 Jamaica Ave Queens Village, NY 11428) On July 27, 2026, I contacted Mopar Corporate Customer Care to escalate this dealer non-compliance. I spoke with agent Sam under Corporate Case Number XXX. Agent Sam actively obstructed my efforts to secure a remedy. He falsely claimed to be contacting local dealers to check inventory, but when I offered to call those same locations, conference, to verify his claims, he strongly resisted. I asked to speak to a supervisor to escalate the agent's deceptive behavior and the dealer denials, but I was told the supervisor was completely unavailable and could only offer a callback within 24 hours. Under federal law, safety recalls do not expire. Manufacturers and their authorized dealers are legally obligated to provide a free remedy, log vehicle details, and procure parts. Mopar Corporate and its dealer network are actively prioritizing standard brush-offs and administrative evasion over public safety, with 7 recalls.

THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS VAN IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND IS COSTING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS VAN IS RUNNING VERY HOT EVEN ON COLD DAYS. THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS FAIL PREMATURELY AND THE WHEEL HUBS FAIL FROM CONSTANTLY OVERHEATING. THE ABS STARTS FEEDING TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO THE WHEEL CALIPERS AND CAUSES THE BRAKE PADS TO CONSTANTLY TOUCH THE ROTORS WHICH CREATES EXCESSIVE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR WEAR AS WELL A OVERHEATING OF THE GREASE IN THE WHEEL HUBS WHICH CAUSES THEM TO FAIL. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES EVERY 7,000 TO 10,000 MILES. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE DESIGN AND CHRYSLER IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WILL COST THEM TOO MUCH MONEY.

END OF VALVE STEM (ABOUT 1/4" OF THREAD) BROKE OFF IN THE PUMP NOZZLE TAKING THE VALVE CORE WITH IT IMMEDIATELY RELEASING ALL THE AIR IN THE TIRE IN A SUDDEN RUSH. ON INSPECTION UNIT WAS CORRODED BADLY, SAME SITUATION ON REAR TIRE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 DODGE RAM TRUCK FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SITUATIONS RECOUNTED ON THE INTERNET OF EXACTLY THIS ISSUE FOR VARIOUS MODEL YEARS OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. ASIDE FROM THE COST AND INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE TPMS SENSOR, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED A CRASH POSSIBLY WITH FATALITIES WOULD LIKELY OCCUR. DODGE/CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE VERY COSTLY FOR THEM TO RESOLVE AND LIKELY SUITS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH AND NEGLIGENCE. *TR

THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE AS A SAFE AND DEPENDABLE FAMILY VEHICLE.

THE AIR CONDITIONING BROKE.

AFTER GOING TO A DIFFERENT A/C SPECIALIST, THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND THE LEAK IN THE DISCHARGE HOSE. THE MECHANIC STATED THIS WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AS THIS HOSE DESIGN WAS FAULTY. MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT IS TOO SHORT. THE NEW DISCHARGE HOSE (PART# 4677577AC) CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE DEALER AND IS LONGER THAN THE ORIGINAL HOSE. THIS SAYS TO ME THAT DODGE ADMITS THE OLD PART WAS FAULTY, AS THEY ARE REPLACING IT WITH A LONGER HOSE THAN WAS INITIALLY PUT IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, THE COST WAS NEARLY $600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION DAMAGE DONE TO THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY REPLACING A SIMPLE HOSE. *TR
