NHTSA Complaint #10560318 — 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

MY SLIDING DOOR QUIT WORKING HALF WAY THRU CYCLE. MY POWER WENT DEAD IN DOORS AND LOCKS I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM SAID IT WAS EITHER THE ECM OR THE BCM BUT NOT SURE. THEY DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE AS THEY WOULD JUST BURN OUT AGAIN IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND STILL A SHORT SOMEWHERE IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. I DROVE IT HOME AND NEXT DAY WENT TO START IT AND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE BATTERY AND ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL BURST INTO FLAMES BURNING THE ENTIRE MAIN ELECTRICAL HARNESS AND ECM AND FUSE BOX UP. TOOK IT BY TOW TRUCK TO DODGE DEALER AGAIN THEY SAID LOOKS LIKE WIRING HARNESS WAS WORN THROUGH WHERE IT WAS FASTENED TO THE FRAME AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE SUPPOSE TO SEND AN INSPECTOR AND NO ONE SHOWED UP IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND NO HELP FROM DODGE OR THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
