#1 of 3 Dodge caravan by tracyk2 Sep 09, 2008 (7:01 pm)
I purchased an 07 Caravan brand new one year ago. After about 4 months (3000 miles) I kept hearing a creaking/squeaking sound whenever I would come to a stop. The brakes felt fine otherwise. The dealer replaced the brakes & pads & it stopped only to return about 7 months later at about 8000 miles. The dealer had a difficult time diagnosing, but finally replaced the brakes, pads & rotors and the noise disappeared again. Now, 3 months later at 11800 miles it has returned!!! This is driving me crazy. The noise comes & goes for awhile, getting louder each day. I am not sure what it is or what to do. This caravan is also very bumpy & noisy (rattles & such) it sounds awful when driving over bumps, I am a first time van owner, so.... BTW, my 08 Focus rides better than this thing!!! Any ideas on the squeaking and why it stops after brake work?
#2 of 3 Starting problem by marytmanning Sep 11, 2008 (7:02 am)
I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan Sport. About a year ago it started running for about 10-15 seconds none of the instrument lights would come on but above that where it says, oil.abs,etc.Alarm set would come on.It will sometimes be down anywhere from 7 days to hours. once it is started it will go all day,sometimes for weeks. I have had it to the Dodge dealer 2 times,they say nothing shows up. My son had his neighbor a mechanic hook it up to his computer and nothing shows up. I am still dealing with this.No one seems to know what is wrong. I say it is the anti-theif device.How do you disconnect it? Thanks, Mary Replies to this message: xwesx (Sep 11, 2008 9:06 am)

Replying to: marytmanning (Sep 11, 2008 7:02 am) Is it just the lights, or do the instruments themselves (speedometer, fuel guage, tach, etc.) not work? If it is the latter, I suspect bad solder joint on the back of the instrument cluster. I have that problem, and while it only occasionally went out before, it has been out for about four days straight now. I guess it is time for me to dig out the cluster and break out the soldering iron!
