Your temperature gauge climbed toward the red zone while driving at highway speed. When you pulled over and investigated, you found the radiator was completely empty of coolant. You discovered two small holes in a corroded steel cooling tube underneath the passenger side of the van that carries coolant to the rear heater. This tube is fully exposed to road salt and moisture underneath the vehicle, making it prone to rust and failure. Fixing this problem requires replacing the corroded cooling tube, which cost around $650 at a dealership.

GRAND CARAVAN SPORTS ARE EXTREMELY EASY TO BREAK INTO AND EVEN EASIER TO STEAL. A 13-YEAR-OLD WITH A STANDARD SIZED SCREWDRIVER IS ALL IT TAKES TO GAIN ACCESS AND DRIVE OFF WITH YOUR VEHICLE <1 MINUTE. ANY ACCOMPLICES ARE WELL-HIDDEN BY THE PRIVACY GLASS. THERE ARE NO "CARS OF CHOICES" FOR AUTO THIEVES, IT'S WHATEVER IS QUICK AND EASY. THIS ACCESSIBILITY ISSUE IS COMMON TO ALL DAIMLER-CHRYSLER VEHICLES, NOT JUST THE CARAVAN FLEET. D.C. VEHICLES ARE QUICKLY GAINING STATUS AS "EASY TO STEAL, QUICK TO STASH, NOT TO MENTION AN ABUNDANT POOL OF POSSIBILITIES"...EXPECT TO PAY NEARLY $3000.00 (LOW END) FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S JOY RIDE AND WAIT APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FOUR WEEKS WHILE REPAIRS ARE MADE. *JB
