#709815August 10, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AFTER PULLING IN A DRIVEWAY, WITH THE CAR STILL IDLING, HEARD A NOISE AND THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. THE TENSIONER HAD BROKEN OFF AND FELL DOWN IN THE ENGINE CAUSING THE IDLER PULLEY AND BELT TO COME OFF. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW BELT AND TENSIONER UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT HAD HAPPEN MOMENTS BEFORE, WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.

#709484August 2, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THEN ONE DAY JUST STOPPED FUNCTIONING AT ALL. WHEN PURCHASED THE WARRANTY OFFERED WAS EITHER THE 3/36 OR THE 12/12 & 7/70. WE CHOSE 3/36 WHICH WAS BENIFICIAL AT ONE POINT SINCE WE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE AND IT TOOK ALMOST A YEAR FOR THEM TO FINALLY TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM..MY CONCERN IS DO WE HAVE ANY OPTIONS OTHER WITH ANY PENDING ISSUES DUE TO THE HISTORY OF THE MINIVAN TRANSMISSIONS? ARE THE ANY AVENUES WE CAN TAKE SO AS NOT TO HAVE TO PAY THE 2,500 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION?

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
A) THIS FORM IS HORRIBLE -- THERE IS TOO MUCH NON-APPLICABLE INFORMATION. B) I AM A CERTIFIED CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIAN. I RECENTLYT HAVE RUN INTO A PROBLEM WITH THE CINCH PLATES ON THE CHRYSTLER MINIVANS. NAMELY, THEY DON'T CINCH AND THEREFORE REQUIRE THE USE OF A LOCKING CLIP -- THIS RUNS COUNTER TO THE 1996 ACT REQUIRING RESTRAINT SYSTEMS TO BE CSS FREINDLY. PLEASE FEEL; FREE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS.

WAS TOLD THAT PLASTIC FUEL TANK WARPED AND ALLOWS GASOLINE TO LEAK FROM THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN FUEL TANK AND LINE LEADING TO ENGINE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ASSEMBLY IS PLASTIC IN COMPOSITION AND CAN HAVE CRACKS OR PUNCTURES IN EVERY DAY USE; THIS SEEMS TO BE AN UNACCEPTABLE OPTION AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE A 1987 AUTOMOBILE WITH OVER 140,000 MILES AND IT HAS NEVER HAD ITS GAS TANK REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE SAME AREAS AS MY MINI-VAN. *AK
