#764325July 16, 2002
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
REPLACED DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION EVERY 2 YEARS AT 37,000, 100760, AND AT 147654. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS TRANMISSIONS DO NO TYPICALLY FAIL EVERY 24 TO 28 MONTHS. THE NTHSA SHOULD FORCE DAIMLER-CHRYSLER TO STAND BEHIND A KNOWN DEFECTIVE COMPONENT AND REPLACE THESE AT NO CHARGE WHEN FAILURES OCCUR FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A KNOWN PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER/DODGE MINIVANS AND HAS BEEN REPORTED ON EXTENSIVELY. ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROTECT CONSUMERS AS IT IS UNLIKELY DAIMLER-CHRYSLER WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILTY ON THEIR OWN.*AK

#763463June 25, 2002
AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT 57K MILES, THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE AIRBAG. THIS CAUSED FAILURE OF HORN & AIRBAG.THE MANUFACTURER SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS. BUT EACH REFUSED TO REPAIR IT AT NO COST AND CHARGED OVER $300 FOR THE SAFETY REPAIR. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. IT CAN CAUSE FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS FOR NOT ONLY US, BUT OTHERS AS WELL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER HAS PUT A PRICE ON SAFETY ALLOWING THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS TO RISK INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY. THANKS, I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.*AK
