| Nov | 2007 | 3000 | 0 | Rattles when going over bumps, noticable mostly at speeds 30mph or less. Some minivans came from the factory with door seals not properly lubricated. Already a TSB on this. Seals were soaked in silicone lubricant solving problem so far. Rear bumper scuff plate was warping up slightly in two places. Original was either installed incorrectly or defective. New scuff plate was installed, problem solved. |
| Jun | 2008 | 12000 | 0 | Rear bumper scuff plate was lifting in three places when car was new. Repaired, and now at 12k Chrysler has mfg a different part, evidently the original was defective. To be put on soon. Also looking at rattles <30mph, likely recurring weatherstip probl |
| Jul | 2008 | 14000 | 0 | Rear bumper scuff plate warping up, the warmer the temp the more the warp. This had been fixed before and came back. Dealer again replaced the bumper scuff plate with another new (updated supposedly) part. Rattles when going over bumps, noticable mostly under 30mph. Recurring problem with door seals. Sliding and rear door seals replaced (upgraded part, supposedly), minor squeeks & rattles still noticable, told by dealer it is inherent in vehicle design. |
| Apr | 2010 | 43000 | 0 | we noticed that the air conditioning was not putting out cold air. One of the connecting hoses' seal was bad & leaking. Hose & seal replaced, recharged now ok. So common, the dealer knew the part number by heart and a new design was made by Chrysler |
