SEATS
THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVERS HAS SEATBELT RECEIVERS THAT ARE FLUSH WITH THE SEAT. THIS IS A PROBLEM IF YOU PLACE A CHILD'S SAFETY SEAT ON THAT BENCH AND HOOK IT IN BECAUSE ANY CHILD THAT ENTERS THE CAR AND TRIES TO HOOK THEIR SEATBELT IN, COULD UNHOOK THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT. THEY CAN UNHOOK IT SIMPLY BY PUTTING A TOY DOWN NEXT TO THEM OR EVEN IF THE CHILD IN THE SAFETY SEAT SHOULD DROP A TOY IT COULD UNHOOK THE LATCH. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. ONE TIME AS I WAS TURNING THE CORNER MY SONS SEAT FLIPPED COMPLETELY OVER AND LANDED NEXT TO THE BENCH (BETWEEN THE BENCH AND THE DOOR). YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW ANGRY I WAS. I HAVE TRIED TO GO TO DODGE AND I HAVE CALLED THE NTSB AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL CARSEAT SAFETY BUREAU, BUT I HAVE NO ANSWERS YET. I HAVE WRITTEN TO DODGE, BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. TO KEEP MY SON SAFE AND ALIVE I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE MIDDLE BENCH AND MOVE THE REAR SEAT FORWARD, AS IT HAS BELT LATCHES THAT ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO UNHOOK( THEY ARE LONGER) AND HAVE REMAINED LATCHED. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME IN GETTING IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP? OR TO MAKE SURE SOMEONE IN SAFEETY AND DESIGN AT DODGE WILL KNOW HOW POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS THOSE HOOKS ARE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HEAR ME AND OFFER SUGGESTIONS. SINCERELY, LISA RAMBO

#713062October 9, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
PAID DEALERSHIP $600.00 TO REPAIR. THE BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON AND STICKING. MY WIFE HAS TAKEN IT BACK 4 TIMES AND ON OCTOBER 11 WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN. I DISCUSSED THIS SITUATION WITH MIKE ANDERSON ON 10/9, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REPRESENTATIVE FOR DEALERSHIP. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS STICKING IN THE ON POSITION IS A SAFETY HAZARD. HE WAS EXTREMELY RUDE TO ME ON THE TELEPHONE. HE SAID THAT AS LONG AS THE BRAKES STOP THE VAN I DON'T HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VAN IN ITS CURRENT SITUATION, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL CAR FOR THE WEEKEND. I ALSO SEARCHED THE WEBSITE OF DAIMLERCHRYSLER BEFORE I FILLED OUT THIS FORM. I COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE THAT I COULD SEND DAIMLERCHRYSLER AN E-MAIL ABOUT MY CONCERNS. I WAS WONDERING IF OTHER OWNERS OF SUCH MINIVANS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THANK YOU!
