ON 01/28/2019,, AFTER I OPENED THE HOOD TO EXAM THE POWER/TRAIN AND OTHER COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THREE WIRES AND A YELLOW FUSE ATTACHED TO MY BATTERY/ I IMMEDIATELY ASKED "TIMMY" WHAT THESE WERE AND WHY IS THE ENGINE SO LOUD? HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED, "MAY I SPEAK TO THE TECH THAT INSTALLED MY TRANSMISSION?" HE REPLIED, "I'M REALLY BUSY.." HE WALKED AWAY WHILE I WAS ASKING HIM QUESTIONS, WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION OR REPAIRS. THE DODGE DEALER INSTALLED AFTERMARKET WIRING AND A FUSE ON MY VEHICLE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND REFUSED TO TELL ME WHAT IT CONTROLS AND WHY IT IS NEEDED. "TIMMY" ALSO STATED TO ME THE LOUD RUMBLING NOISES WERE NORMAL. I INFORMED HIM, THAT IS NOT HOW MY CAR SOUNDED PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING.

I BOUGHT 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. NOW, THE CAR HAS 34,940 MILES. WHEN I PUS THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SPEED ABOVE 40 MILES/HOUR, THE CAR VIBRATES. I THINK THE ROTOR IS WARPED. IT IS DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM. TALKED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE. THEY BOTH TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE 36MONTH/36,000MILE WARRANTY. SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, A LOT OF OWNER COMPLAINED THE BRAKE PROBLEM ABOUT DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. EXPERIENCED MECHANICS INDICATED THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE. DODGE DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH BRAKE FOR THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS FOR MANY YEARS AND DODGE STILL UNWILLING TO REDESIGN OR COVER THIS DESIGN FLAW. DODGE SHOULD PROVIDE SPECIAL WARRANTY TO COVER THIS DESIGN FLAW AND IT IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE NHTSA TAKE THE LEADERSHIP TO ASK DODGE FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO THEIR DESIGN.

I DRIVE A 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. LAST WEEK, AS I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO THEIR GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE, I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING. I REGAINED CONTROL AND MADE IT TO MY MOMS HOUSE AND DROPPED OFF THE CHILDREN. AS I LEFT HER HOUSE AND MADE IT BACK TO THE ROAD, THE VAN BECAME HARD TO STEER. IT STARTED JERKING TO ONE SIDE AND WOBBLING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VAN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. THE DAY AFTER BRINGING THE VAN IN, I RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SHOWED ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VAN. IT WAS LIFTED UP INTO THE AIR AND I WAS SHOWED THAT THE REAR AXLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD BEEN BROKEN. THERE WAS 2 MECHANICS THERE AND ONE SUGGESTED THAT I HAD BEEN IN A COLLISION OR HIT A BIG POTHOLE. THE OTHER SAID THAT IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A DRIVER ERROR BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE BREAK ON THE AXLE WAS BENT AS WELL AS THE LACK OF ANY SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER AREA OF THE VAN. MY TIRES AND RIMS SHOW NO DAMAGE, AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VAN ALSO SHOWS NO SIGN OF HITTING A POTHOLE, AS THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES ANYWHERE UNDER THE VAN. ONE OF THE MECHANICS SAID IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AXLE BECAUSE OF THE BENT WAY IT WAS BROKEN AND HE ALSO NOTICED THAT IT SHOWED SIGNS OF IT BEING ALREADY CRACKED BECAUSE THE METAL APPEARED TO BE OLD ON ONE SPOT AND FRESH ON ANOTHER. I HIGHLY DENY HITTING ANYTHING LIKE A POT HOLE OR HAVING BEEN IN A COLLISION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO ANY PART OF MY VEHICLE SAVE THE BROKEN AXLE. *DT*JB

THIS HAS OCCURRED NOW AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS. AFTER FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS, THEY UNBUCKLE. I HAD CAR SEATS WITH CHILDREN BUCKLED AND ALL A SUDDEN THEY TELL ME IT CAME UNBUCKLED WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO STOP AND LOCK IT AGAIN. IN FACT ONE TIME IT WOULDNT LOCK AGAIN AND HAD TO PUT THEM IN THE BACK ROW. I TESTED IT MYSELF AND BUCKLED THEM AND PULLED SLIGHTLY ON THEM AND THEY CAME UNBUCKLED WITHOUT PRESSING THE UNBUCKLE BUTTON.THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN AN ACCIDENT WITH CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS THAT THE BELTS COME UNDONE. IT JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY AGAIN.

I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY OF 4, BACK FROM A VACATION. TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH WITH TRAFFIC ON WET INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. 2 LANE HIGHWAY TRANSITIONED FROM BLACK TOP TO A CONCRETE BRIDGE, SLIGHT BUMP. WE HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND THUD, AND THE REAR OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO GO SIDEWAYS, AS I FOUGHT FOR CONTROL. BRAKING CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FURTHER BECOME UNSTABLE UNTIL I REDUCED SPEED AND SLOWLY PULLED OFF THE BUSY ROAD AND FOUND THE DAMAGE. THE LEFT SIDE CONTROL ARM OF THE BEAM AXEL ASSEMBLY CRACKED AND THE SUSPENSION ON THE LEFT SIDE WAS ONLY ATTACHED VIA THE SHOCK AND COIL SPRING. WE SLOWLY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND LIMPED TO A GAS STATION TO PARK AND CALL FOR A LONG DISTANCE TOW TO MY SERVICING DEALER BY MY HOME 135 MILES AWAY. WE NEEDED AN UBER AND A RENTAL CAR TO GET BACK HOME. VAN IS CURRENTLY PARKED AT MY DEALER, AWAITING FOR A TECHNICIAN TO GET IT LOOKED AT AS OF 4/12/2021

When car is stopped, turn off key, open door then I hear a loud BUZZ. Only lasts a second or so. But believe it has to do with the POWER LOCKS. I see many complaints online like this
