1998 Dodge Grand Caravan
Engine not specified
| 156000 mi | The gauges on my dash suddenly stopped working, but the car still ran fine. Mechanic said it wasn't a fuse. Had an appointment to come back 2 days later so he could open up my dash, but then just as suddenly they all began to work again. Individual gauges, and sometimes all of them stop working periodically. Since they are on more than off, I try to keep my tank topped off and am living with the problem. |
| 157000 mi US $80 |
Car very noisy for some time. Diagnosed as the bearings in the AC compressor. Chose not to replace compressor, a $600 repair, but eliminate the belt to it. Now I have no AC, but the car sounds much better. |
| 162000 mi | AC never fixed. |
| 115000 mi | Cruise control not working. |

Brake lights failed sometime over the weekend. Checked the fuse under the hood marked "Brake lights" and it was OK. Removed the switch under the dash which is operated by the brake pedal. One of the contacts had broken. Replaced switch. |
