1997 Dodge Caravan LE 6 cylinder
Summary:
Keeping this car running has been a major drain on my bank account
Faults:
I have a stack of repair receipts costing me several thousand dollars.
Multiple break work -- two only 10,000 miles apart. These two break jobs alone cost me $1,000.
Universal belt comes off when I drive through a mud puddle. This is a continuing problem.
Clock spring (air bag, cruise control, horn) failed. This was taken to the dealer, but not fixed successfully. Later the clock spring was recalled. My cruise control and horn still don't work.
Phantom electrical problems, primarily in the windshield wipers, which come on randomly and don't go off when turned off.
General Comments:
This car is a big lemon that has cost me way too much to keep running. Several of the problems seriously compromise my safety. I will trade it in soon and never buy another Dodge.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Wipers going on and off by themselves? I thought my van was the only one with this problem. Does anyone have any thoughts as to how to fix it?
