AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I AM AWARE THAT SOME DODGE GRAND CARAVANS HAVE HAD A PROBLEM RELATED TO A SPRING LOCATED INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL THAT PREVENTS THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS PREVENTING THE HORN FROM OPERATING. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT SUCH RECALL DIDN'T APPLY TO MY VAN, AND AFTER CHECKING THE VIN, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT I WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. HOWEVER, WHEN I HEAR THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS GONE WRONG WITH MY VAN IS A RECALL IN OTHER VANS, I TEND TO GET A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS.*AK

CHILD SEAT
THE CABLE ON MY INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT FAILED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO LATCH FOR A WHILE. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE LATCH PLATE. THERE WERE NO OBSTICLES IN THAT AREA AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AGREED THAT IT IS A BROKEN CABLE. MY SEAT IS PROBABLY THE OLDEST OF THESE INTEGRATED SEATS AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE CABLE WOULD WEAR AND JUST BREAK ON SEATS THAT ARE BUILT IN. DODGE HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE NECESSARY PART IF I PAY FOR THE LABER. THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT $650 OF WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $120. I'M CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY ALSO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT ALSO OCCURS TO ME THAT IF MY CABLES SNAPPED WHEN THERE WAS NO CRASH WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS A CRASH. MAYBE THESE SEATS WERE SAFE WHEN THEY WERE NEW BUT ARE THE NOW?
