I AM MARRIED WITH 3 CHILDREN AND DID NOT CAUSE THIS BY NEGLECT , THIS CAR WAS SERVICED ON TIME ON EVERYTHING AND TAKEN CARE OF .

I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING, REPLACED THAT, FUEL INJECTOR RAIL WENT OUT -- FIRE HAZARD-- VAN WAS IN SHOP 3 MONTHS AWAITING PART ON BACK ORDER, NOW THE BACK WINDOW JUST SHATTERS FOR NO REASON.

I WAS DRIVING PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER 1991 WHEN ITS TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN ON I95, NEAR WASHINGTON DC. I LUCKILY PARKED IT ON LEFT SHOULDER.
