| 1997 | COMMUNICATIONS:HORN ASSEMBLY | AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND REMAIN ONCE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED. HORN ALSO FAILED TO WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *AK |
| 2001 | STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:POWER STEERING FLUID | RECENTLY MY POWER STEERING STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN I TURNED. THE VAN HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT UNDER WARRANTY I CALLED DIAMLERCHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED. 2,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY SHOULD NOT PREVENT THEM FROM FIXING A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING! DIAMLERCHRYSLER AUTHORIZED THE REPAIRS AT NO COST TO US. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US LATER THAT THERE IS A KNOW DESIGN FLAW WITH THE RESERVOIR, BUT NO RE-CALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. WE WERE LUCKY, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WARRANTY TO GET DIAMLERCHRYSLER TO PAY, BUT I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT KNOWN FLAWS SHOULD BE FIXED AT THE COMPANY'S EXPENSE. |
