What owners wrote
2003 dodge grand caravan engine died while driving for no apparent reason causing a major accident and injury to my wife. Power steering and brakes became inoperable and airbag did not deploy.
Electrical component in the glove compartment that controls the heater smells of burning and when heat is turned on smoke blows out the heat vents, also causing the heat to go out. When the wires were checked they were all melted from burning.
