Alright, this is the firts time I have had anything like this ever happen with a vehicle. I got an 05 Grand Caravan. I bought it with 12k miles on it about 2months ago. Since then It has been in the shop for more than a dozen things, for some electronic module giving power to the fuel pump when it was off, to the power windows, interior body panels, Steering rack, Rear window, Stow and go seating panel replacement, and the power steering return line I can remember off the top of my head. The dealership has been awesome in fixing this stuff, I love their service guy. However, thanks to an emergency trip to NY, I am up to 16k miles and I got to start worrying what is going to happen when the warranty runs out? I have started bugging Dodge to see if I can get them to extend the warranty. So far they have done nothing but BS me. I can except a couple problems with any new vehicle but this has been one thing after another after another.... and it is not 1 system, it seems to be random and almost all over the vehicle. It is really like then entire thing just plain sucks. I cannot beleive the entire line sucks this bad so I am left with Dodge messed up on one vehicle and I don't think it is a lot to ask them to extend the Warranty to cover their mistake. Anyway, has anyone else here ever dealt with something like this? Any words of advice dealing with Dodge?

good luck trying to get a free extended warranty but the squeeky wheel does get the grease as for your issues with the van they are pretty much all the same i think chrysler messed up big time when they introduced this RS body style with the different electronics there is plenty to go wrong and will do so i spend about 4-5 hours a day on this type of van and i only work 8 hours a day so the percentage of faults are pretty high

Yeah, I am real good at being a PITA. When Bell South screwed me on my cell service, and one of their service managers tried being a snotty little prick, I changed their attitude quick when I filed complaints with the FCC, BBB, and the State Attorney General's office and contacted a couple of the local news agencies fraud watch people. Of course in that case there was illegal activity going on and from what I heard BS dropped the hammer on the dude who screwed me.
