I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR CHRYSLER FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS, AND IN THE 4 YEARS I HAS SEEN QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT WAS UPSETTING. THE ONE THING THAT THE SERVICE MANAGERS ALWAYS SAID, WAS WE COULDN`T SELL WARRANTY. BUT WHEN YOU GET AMINI VAN IN WITH THE REAR BRAKE WHEEL CLYINDERS LEAKING ON BOTH SIDES AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLS YOU NOT TO DO IT , SOMTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN ONCE TOO. ITS A COMON PROBLEM WITH THE MINI VANS. AND IF IT CONTINUES SOME BODY IS GOING TO GET HURT. YOU GUYS NEED TO LOOK INTO IT.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
