Headlight coversare turning yellow. Could not see in dark while driving. Was causing poor visibility for the driver. Took to dealership & the covers were replaced with brighter ones.
Front headlamp plastic lenses of this model grow opaque with time and very little light is able to pass through making it very dangerous at night.the model includes years 1991 through 1995 and possibly the model previous.the lack of light at night is a road hazard both to the driver and oncoming traffic.there is possibly a defect in the type of plastic used or a reaction with the heat of the lamps with the plastic.i have never seen an clear front lense in these models which include the dodge grand caravan, caravan, plymouth grand voyager and voyager.
The head light covers became discolored, which made it difficult to see at night.
Fuel railleaks gas into engine compartment.
I contacted nhtsa over a month ago (odi# 736341), but have heard nothing back.are you hearing me?this problem presents a high degree of danger for a fire. No safety defect listed in summary.
Fuel rail developed a leak at pivot joint between one side portion of rail and center connecting section.nlm
Fuel rail developed leak. Drips gasoline on hot engine parts. Other makes/models have been recalled according to my understanding. Parts are even on back order by chrysler until feb 14th at least. The parts department tells me these have been "trickling in" i guess for other makes/models/years?. But not for our particular vehicle. This seems to be a serious safety concern to me and will cost in the neighborhood of 350.00 for me to get this repaired.

I would like to know if my vehicle, a 1991 dodge caravan with 3.3l v-6 engine is included in the leaking fuel recall (i.e. Fuel rail seals)here is the recall i researched for your reference:nhtsa campaign id number: 00v268000fuel: fuel injection systemmanufacturer: daimlerchrysler corporationmfg. Campaign #: 895 year: 1998make: chrysler truckmodel: town and countrypotential number of units affected: 1163000manufactured from: feb 1995 to: sep 1999 year of recall: '00type of report: vehiclesummary: vehicle description: mini vans built with 3.3l and 3.8l engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Dealers will install a seal on the vehicle fuel rails to prevent external leakage of fuel from the fuel rail crossover tube, should the existing o-rings continue to degrade. Daimlerchrysler has not yet provided nhtsa with an owner notification schedule. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
I was on my way home with my four kids when i noticed a strongsmell of gas. When my husband got home i had him look at it to find out it was leaking gas from the fuel rail so bad that there was standing gas on the valve cover leaking into where my spark plugs are. I contacted the place i am buying it from and they refuse to fix it, unless i pay for it. Is there any recall in this problem?i see there has been many complaints same as mine.

Transmission shifts weirdly.
Around august 4, 2003, my dodge grand caravan suddenly locked in second gear. I have replaced the filter and the transmission fluid. This did not fix the transmission. While asking friends if they knew any to fix the problem before i take it to a shop to be fixed, one of them print me the information about the chrysler ultradrive transmission report that is on your web site. I have got to my local dodge dealer and they said that they have never heard of ultradrive transmission problem or recall. I showed the dealer the information that i printed from the web site. Dodge said that i would need to call chrysler. I have called chrysler customer relations about the ultradrive transmission locked in second gear. I was told that they only have 4 recalls on the van two of the recalls have been complete but to have not. The two recalls that have been done are: liftgate latch pn cfxr6406 and seat belt buckle/anch. Clip. The two recalls that have not been done are: liftgate support washer and a left wiper pivot.i then explained to the chrysler customer relation that the records on they web site only shows back to 1996 per the web site information. They said that any recall would be with the vehicle for life in the system. I also asked if they had any information on the ultradrive transmissions having a problem with the 1989 to 1991 models. The person said that they are unable to look that information up.i then explained that the information is on the center for auto safety web site. The customer relation person said that if the information is not on the chrysler or dodge web sites then the information is not right. Also the relations person said that even if there was a problem with the ultradrive transmission that it is no longer covered under the manufactures warranty anymore.please contact me by e-mail if you have any information that i may use to resolve the problem with the ultradrive transmission.

The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but they were not equipped to service the vehicle. The mechanic referred the contact to another independent mechanic who then referred the contact to a local dealer. The vehicle was towed to glenbrook dodge chrysler jeep (100 w coliseum blvd, fort wayne, in 46805, (260) 579-4713) where it was diagnosed that the anti-lock system failed and the vehicle was in manual mode.

The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer kept the vehicle for over two weeks.

While unloading groceries, hatch suddenly slammed shut due to failure (shear) of hatches right strut body anchor. My head was grazed, but am ok.plastic trim by anchor damaged.door is extremely heavy, and will not open without strut assist.a failure of this nature is extremely dangerous - what if the door (500lbs + enertia) fell on us or the kids while unloading groceries, or sitting on gate for tailgate party/drive-in?falling with the speed and force it did would act like a leg/neck/bone crushing guillotine.it is lucky that no one was hurt, but someday, some one will if this weak design is not corrected.i say it is weak because anchor diameter appears to be 1/4" which is ridiculous.3/8" would be minimum diameter for proper design.please do something before someone gets killed.signed - brian d.
