2009 Dodge Grand Caravan Body & Structure Problems

MY VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT JOLTED BACKWARDS AND HIT A RETAINING WALL IN THE DRIVEWAY.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR LOCK HAS FAILED AND IS ALWAYS LOCKED. MAKING THE DOOR UNABLE TO BE OPENED.

SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AT TIMES WITHOUT HAVING TO FORCE IT TO CLOSE. NOT SURE IF THE SENOR HAS BEEN AFFECTED, THERE IS NOTHING BY THE DOOR WHEN THIS HAPPENS

I HAD BEEN LAUGHING WITH THE PEOPLE OF THIS SCHOOL BUS COMPANY WHICH IS CLOSE BY TO ME NAMED LORINDA BUS OR LOGAN BUS CO INC THERE AT 100 ST AND ATLANTIC AV THERE ABOUT HOW THEY EXTENDED THEIR PARKING LOT UPWARD THERE ONTO AN OLD LIRR TRACK THERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED AND IS ALL RUSTY WITH BROKEN CEMENT AND LIKE OTHER BROKEN AND OLD THINGS THERE AND THEY EXTENDED THE PARKING LOT FOR THEIR BUSES THERE AT 100 ST AND ATLANTIC AV THERE UPWARD TO LIKE THE TOP OF THIS LIRR TRACK THERE WHICH I FOUND TO BE AN ODD LOCATION. I MEAN SOME QUESTIONS WERE IN MY MIND LIKE COULD THE 14 BUSES OR 18 BUSES THAT THEY PUT UP THERE ON THE OLD LIRR TRACK THERE STAY UP THERE WITH ALL OF THE HUGE BUSES PARKED UP THERE ON THE TRACK THERE. NO, THE LIRR TRACK THERE IS NOT USED ANYMORE THERE BEGINNING SOUTH FROM LIKE 99 ST AND LIBERTY AVENUE THERE AND THE OLD LIRR TRACK IS MAINTAINED BY NYC DCAS OR THE MAYOR'S OFFICE THERE. LOTS OF RUSTY AND OLD AND FALLING APART THINGS THERE ON THAT RAILROAD TRACK THERE OF THE LIRR THERE. BUT WITH THE OLD LIRR TRACK THERE AT ATLANTIC AV AND 100 ST SHOULD THEY USE THAT AREA UP THERE, AS I SAW ON A GOOGLE MAP THERE TO PARK 14-18 OF THEIR BUSES. YES, THE GOOGLE MAP SHOWED THEM EXTENDING THEIR PARKING LOT TO THE TOP OF THE LIRR TRACKS THERE AND THEY COULD PARK MORE BUSES AS SHOWN ON THE GOOGLE MAP THERE. DO YOU THINK IT IS SAFE OF LORINDA OR LOGAN THERE TO PUT LIKE THOSE BUSES PARKED UP THERE ALL 14-18 OF THEM UP THERE ON THE OLD LIRR TRACK UP THERE TO BE PARKED OR NO? THE OLD LIRR TRACKS ARE REALLY FALLING APART, TALKING ABOUT THE RUST AND ALL OF THAT. USE GOOGLE STREET VIEW AND YOU CAN SEE THE RUST IN SOME PARTS OF THOSE BRIDGES THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SQUEALING NOISE DETECTED. THE PARKING BRAKE, TPMS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOOR DETACHED FROM TRIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 221,000.

WE WERE WALKING UP TO OUR VEHICLE AND USED THE KEYCHAIN REMOTE TO OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE. IT WENT ALL THE WAY OPEN AND MY WIFE WALKED UNDERNEATH IT TO PUT SOME THINGS IN THE CAR. AFTER IT WENT ALL THE WAY OPEN, IT STAYED THERE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME DOWN HARD AND SLAMMED MY WIFE IN THE HEAD. SHE SUSTAINED A SORE NECK AND A HEADACHE THAT HAS SINCE GOTTEN WORSE. I TRIED OPERATING THE LIFTGATE AGAIN WHILE WE WERE CLEAR AND IT DID THE SAME THING. IT WENT ALL THE WAY OPEN, PAUSED FOR 2 SECONDS, AND THEN SLAMMED DOWN HARD ABOUT A FOOT BEFORE IT WENT BACK CLOSED IN A NORMAL FASHION. IT HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE 2 HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS FOR THE REAR LIFTGATE. HOWEVER, MY WIFE IS STILL EXPERIENCING NECK PAIN. *TR
