Ahh, that explains it: You have a Dodge. That's your problem. Everyone
knows they are pieces of crap. Every Grand Caravan I see on the road -
even the brand new ones - is blowing blue smoke. You couldn't pay me
to drive a Dodge.

You know, this isn't isolated to Chrysler. Not to defend a relatively
poor brand that I don't like anyway, but just because it's an import
doesn't make it immune. The early New Beetles had the same problem. My
 '99 had the driver's side window stuck in the down position twice,
and my passenger's side window did it once as well. Volkswagen
replaced both window motors with newer parts once they fixed the
problem in 2000, but it wasn't on a recall - I had to wait for them to
die and get it fixed under warranty. Also, the solenoid for my gas cap
died and I couldn't put gas in the car. That was a fun one - happened
24 hours before a big road trip.
