I have a Grand Caravan for a daily driver and for all the stuff and people that do not fit into a fox body hatch. For over a 100k miles, it will act like an electrical gremlin is in it - shutting off the AC, power windows and radio. The dealer kept telling me "bring it back when it does it consistently so we can really fix it." This is after replacing a part or three ea h time. Well, at the start of summer, it did it a dozen times in one day, and they have been messing with it since. They fix it, and we start it to the same problem each time. I finally insisted they switch techs for a second opinion. The old one had been booked up to Dodge central and still could not find it. After Dodge insisted I replace the fusebox, I think they found a bundle of wires they can move one way to shut stuff off and another to get stuff back on. So maybe they can finally track it down.
I have the receipts from the early attempts at fixing it that go back past the extended warranty to the factory one. I am scared of how bad this bill will be. The dealership changed service managers once and owners twice in the 100k+ miles, but I have the receipts. Anyone think I will at least get a discount on the repair? Also, any suggestions for what else will hold 7 people, a 28" bass drum, a suitcase of music and the instruments? I still want more than 20 mpg on the highway, and I was planning on putting another 100k on the odometer.
