Dodge Caravan Paint Problems

harold < <01bc3978$5f921840$bf5070ce@harwrich
I have the same problem with a 1993 Plymouth Voyager. A brief pass through
this group tells me that we are not alone.

Can someone please direct me/us to a source of further information about
this problem. How do we resolve these problems? Is there a "hidden
warranty?"

I purchased the extended warranty for my Voyager which is still in effect.

Thanks

Karl,
The paint on my '92 Caravan was peeling from the hood and roof and
Chrysler is repainting both, its covered under the extended warranty.

Dear Harold,

My blue '91 Caravan is peeling, too. Last week, a guy stopped to ask me
about it, since his van is exactly like ours. Chrysler repainted his hood
a couple of years ago but now that the sides are peeling, they won't
assist him. His contention is that if they knew there was a problem a
couple of years ago, they should have anticipated his paint would be
peeling later on the van's sides... so why didn't they just repaint the
whole van back then? Anyway, what they did for him was more than what
they offered us (which was a joke). Go to the following web address, you
won't believe the hyperlinks--

and please keep in touch. Let us know how you make out. Good Luck.

I seem to be one of thousands. I have a '91 Grand Caravan. Paint started
peeling last winter from the roof. The dealer wants $1,300 to repaint the
roof only!!!!! Other reputable body shops want $600-800. Seems that by
now there must be something that can be done. Any suggestions?

Or "For Sale -- Original Factory Paint not included"

I could believe how easy it was to get the paint on our '93 Caravan to
flake off.

I didn't think too much of it when a chunk chipped off on the hood from
a
pebble when we first got it, but later some teenagers egged it and there
were several chips gone from where the egg hit the side of the van --
great!
But I used the about technique (including lots of $$$) to solve the
problem...
