STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT, EQUIPMENT
THE HATCHBACK SUPPORT STRUT ON MY CARAVAN FAILED TODAY - THE BOLT THAT SUPPORTS THE STRUT IN THE CAR BODY SHEARED OFF, WHILE THE VEHCILE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE STRUT EXPANDED INSIDE THE CAVITY IN THE BODY AS FAR AS IT COULD ONCE THE BOLT SHEARED. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL (97V079000) IN ABOUT 1997. I KNOW CHRYSLER PERFORMED THE RECALL BECAUSE THE NEW "BIGGER" WASHERS ARE ON THE LIFT SUPPORTS. AS I HAVE NO WAY TO EXAMINE THE BOLTS FOR STRESS CRACKING, THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE I CAN PERFORM TO INSURE THE REAR LIFTGATE WON'T FALL ONTO THE HEAD OF ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A ONE-TIME RECALL FOR CHRYSLER? I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO "FIX" THE SHEARING BOLT PROBLEM, BUT IT IS SURPRISING TO ME THAT IT HAS RETURNED. I THINK IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

SEATS
MY HUSBAND WAS REAR-ENDED BY A CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH IN OUR 1992 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE BACK OF THE DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED. FORTUNATELY HE WAS NOT HURT, BUT HE COULD EASILY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, IF OUR 8 YEAR OLD CHILD HAD BEEN WITH HIM, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN RIDING IN THE SEAT DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER AND COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERLY INJURED.
