| 1999 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS | THE SERPENTINE BELT HAS FALLEN OFF THE CAR 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT BROKE, I WAS OUT OF TOWN. THE OTHER 2 TIMES IT FELL OFF IN TOWN. ALL 3 TIMES I HAD JUST DRIVEN THROUGH AN UNAVOIDABLE DEEP PUDDLE DURING A HEAVY THUNDERSTROM. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOAST POWER STEERING AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS EACH TIME, BUT JUST AS EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY - WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. ALSO, EACH TIME I HAD A CAR FULL OF CHILDREN AND TWICE IT WAS AT NIGHT. AFTER THE THIRD TIME (AND THIRD TOW/REPAIR), THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE SERVICE BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER. THE VAN HAD A BRACKET ALREADY IN PLACE, BUT IT REPLACED AGAIN ANYWAY. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT SERVICE BULLETIN. |
| 2000 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH | EXTERIOR HANDLE ON REAR SLIDING DOOS BREAK EASILY. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW PULED ONE SIDE TO OEN AND IT BROE OFF. MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON PULED ON THE HANDLE ON THE OTHER SIDE LATER AND IT TO PROKE OF. THE COST OF THE NEW HANDLE IS 166.00. I APPEARS THE THE QUALITY OF MATERIAL IS OF A POOR QUAILTY AND THE PRICE FOR A NEW ONE IS OUTRAGEOUS. |
