Consumer Description

AT ABOUT 12,000 OUR 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DEVELOPED A THUMPING/BINDING IN THE STEERING/FRONT AXLE. WE HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE SAME PROBLEM; BOTH AXLES WERE REPLACED AND THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED ALSO, YET THE THUMPING/BINDING NEVER TRULY WENT AWAY. SHORTLY OUTSIDE THE COMPREHENSIVE WARRANTY PERIOD, THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE BROKE. FORTUNATELY IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT, NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE RIGHT AXLE WAS REPLACED, BUT NOW THE THUMPING/BINDING IS BACK JUST LIKE IT WAS WHEN WE FIRST STARTED PURSUING GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE VAN ONLY HAS 30,300 MILES ON IT. *TR
