NHTSA Complaint #10230585 — 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

MY MINIVAN'S AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THIS CAR ALREADY WAS IN FOR A RECALL ON THE REAR AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING LINES WHICH WERE REPLACED IN NOVEMBER OF 2006. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT THE RECALL LINES THAT WERE LEAKING BUT THE REAR EXTENSION LINES WHICH ARE AFTER THE RECALL LINES. THE PARTS ARE ALSO ON BACKORDER FOR WELL OVER ONE MONTH OR MORE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE HAVING A LOT OF REPAIRS ON THIS PART. I CANNOT HELP BUT BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL FOR REAR AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING LINES SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE REAR AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING EXTENSION LINES ALSO. BEAR IN MIND THAT MY VAN IS AROUND 3 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 42,112 MILES ON IT. *TR
