What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge caravan. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the lower control arm broke in half which caused him to lose control of the vehicle. The wheel bent outward and the rear quarter panel hit the guard rail and the driver was able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. He called the dealer and was referred to the manufacturer. He called the manufacturer and was told that they would tow it to another dealer to have it inspected.
Car pulls to the right as if one of the calipers is hanging up has been to 3 different dealers for same issue now the 3rd dealer claims the tires need to be rotated (vehicle only has 11,000 miles) and an alignment of which the warranty will not cover at this point as per representative of dodge corporate office this is a "maintenance issue such as an oil change" yet this vehicle has had the same issue from day one!
