#738062December 20, 2000
VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
I CONCERNED ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW ON MY MINI-VAN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS OR WILL BE A RECALL TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW SEAL OF THE HATCH FOR THE 1992 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS. THE SEAL IS LOOSE AND CAN CAUSE THE REAR WINDOW TO FALL OUT... IF THE WINDOW DOES FALL OUT, THIS COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE, ESPECIALLY A CHILD. EVEN WORSE, THIS WINDOW COULD FALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSE SERIOUS AND FATAL ACCIDENTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND A RECALL SHOULD BE SENT OUT TO HAVE THE REAR WINDOWS RESEALED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND/OR KILLED. THIS MATTER IS FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN THE RECALL RECENTLY SENT OUT BY DAIMLERCHRYSLER ABOUT A WIPER MOTOR (#836). THANK YOU.
