We have classified the 2 complaints from 2000 Dodge Caravan about WHEELS into the following categories.
When i tried to pull my dodge caravan (2000) out of the parking lot after a heavy raining day, i found the power steering didn't work. i could go forward or backward, but could not turn, or could turn only very slowly (i could hear the wheel kind of making clicking sound when i tried to turn). after driving very slowly on the parking lot and tried to turn slowly several time, the steering finally got back. i googled online and found many people have the same problem, mostly with a dodge, but also some other cars. http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/dodge-grand-caravan/tc37vjlp6md4pohvj since i don't drive much and mostly park my vehicle in the garage, i don't have much problem. it has happened a couple more times after the first incident, but it usually returns normal after i make several small turns in the parking lot. but this morning, it happened again, after i parked my car outside with an overnight rain, and the wheel was still kind of stuck after i drove about 5 miles, making several turns on purpose in the neighborhood. it's still pouring outside, i don't know if i can get the steering back to normal after work. since i am not the only people having the same problem, i hope the manufacturer could help us solve the problem. thanks!
