I BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE CARAVAN, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SWITCH SEEMS TO BE BURNING OUT NOT ALLOWING ME TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN ON THE ELECTRIC SWITCH AND WHEN IT DOES, HAS A HARD TIME TRYING TO GO BACK UP. THEN MY DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER VAN DOOR HAS A BUTTON ON TOP IN THE FRONT THAT YOU CAN HIT IT AND ITS SUPPOSE TO OPEN THAT SIDE OF THE VAN DOOR, THE VAN DOOR ALSO DOESN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE IT HAS TO BE OPENED ON THE OUTSIDE POSING A DANGEROUS ISSUE. BUT THE OTHER SWITCH OPENS THE PASSENGER SIDE VAN DOOR FINE. MY 3RD ROW SEATS DON'T WANT TO STAY UP , THEY WANT TO LAY DOWN POSING SAFETY HAZARDS. MY BEARINGS OR SOMETHING SOUND BAD, AND MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED ON THE INSIDE AND WO'NT OPEN ON THE OUTSIDE.

ODI #11186401

Incident: January 15, 2019 · Filed: March 13, 2019

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK I DROVE AWAY FROM THE FUEL PLACE, AND I WAS AT A GREEN LIGHT MAKING A LEFT TURN AND DURING THE LEFT TURN MY VAN STALLED!! ANOTHER TIME AFTER THIS, DIRECTLY AFTER FILLING UP GAS I WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT NOT FAR FROM WHERE I FUELED UP, WHEN MY VAN SURGED FORWARD! THIS IS APPARENTLY AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" UP TO THE 2005 DODGE CARAVAN FOR A FAULTY VAPOUR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE GAS TANK. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE MY VAN WAS A 2007 NOT A 2005 THAT THEY COULDN'T RECALL IT. THIS IS SO EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY WON'T EXTEND THIS WARRANTY.HAD SOMEONE BEEN COMING WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT AND MY VAN STALLED I WOULD'VE BEEN T-BONED. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET.
