What owners wrote

I own a 2005 dodge grand caravan that is approximately one year old. On 8/18/06, I was driving and a coolant sprayed onto my leg causing burning and permanent scaring. I was able to control the vehicle to the side of the road. Dealer tech indicated that the heater core tube broke inside the vehicle at the heater core. I called the manufacturer number and was advised that I would receive a written correspondence within 12 days. Within one week of the accident a manufacturers representative inspected the van.

August 2005 Injury

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge grand caravan. The front driver side window will not go up or down. Also, the electrical system (locking system) does not work. The key has to be manually inserted to unlock or lock the door. The sliding doors are no longer working properly and occasionally become stuck and cannot be opened at all. Water is entering through the front passenger side door handle and creating puddles of water in the vehicle.
