1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH 2-SPOKE LUXURY WHEELS MANUFACTURED JULY 1992 THROUGH JUNE 1993; OR EQUIPPED WITH 4-SPOKE SPORT WHEELS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1992 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1993. THE STEERING WHEEL ARMATURE STAMPING CAN CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN.

Risk. IF THE STEERING WHEEL SEPARATES FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN, LOSS OF CONTROL CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR CRACKS AND ANY WHEELS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL HAVE A REINFORCEMENT PLATE INSTALLED TO PREVENT STEERING WHEEL SEPARATION IN THE EVENT CRACKING OCCURS.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE BOLTS USED TO ATTACH THE STRUT TO THE BODY AND THE REAR LIFTGATE CAN ACCUMULATE FATIGUE DAMAGE IF THREE FACTORS COMBINE. IF THE BOLT IS LOOSE, THE GAS STRUT IS OVER-PRESSURIZED, AND THE FREQUENCY OF OPENING AND CLOSING CYCLES IS HIGHER THAN FOR THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER, THE BOLT CAN FAIL.

Risk. PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR IF THE BOLTS BREAK ALLOWING THE LIFTGATE TO FALL SUDDENLY.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR LOOSE FASTENERS, IF THE FASTENERS ARE LOOSE, THE STRUT (AND INTEGRAL BOLTS) WILL BE REPLACED. IF THE BOLT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF TORQUE, THE BOLT WILL BE REMOVED, LARGER WASHERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING WASHER AND THE BOLT WILL BE REINSTALLED AND HAND TIGHTENED TO THE TARGET TORQUED.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE WIRING THAT INITIATES THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD ELECTRICALLY SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND. A SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND THAT EXISTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "ON" OR "START" POSITION CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG(S) TO INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY.

Risk. INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAN INJURE A FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL PERFORM AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. ANY SHORT CIRCUITS IDENTIFIED IN EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INITIATOR WIRE CIRCUIT WILL BE REPAIRED.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PASSENGER MINIVANS WITH REMOTE RELEASE. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO DETERMINATION THAT A SAFETY DEFECT EXISTS WITH THE MINIVAN LATCHES. CHRYSLER IS CONDUCTING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY OF THE AFFECTED MINIVANS. IN A COLLISION, THE REAR LIFTGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY COULD OPEN.

Risk. IF THE LIFTGATE LATCH OPENS, OCCUPANTS CAN BE EJECTED RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. CHRYSLER WILL REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH WITH A NEW STRONGER LATCH ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CHARGE. CHRYSLER BEGAN NOTIFYING OWNERS DURING DECEMBER 1995.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PASSENGER MINIVANS WITHOUT REMOTE RELEASE. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO DETERMINATION THAT A SAFETY DEFECT EXISTS WITH THE MINIVAN LATCHES. CHRYSLER IS CONDUCTING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY OF THE AFFECTED MINIVANS. IN A COLLISION, THE REAR LIFTGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY COULD OPEN.

Risk. IF THE LIFTGATE LATCH OPENS, OCCUPANTS CAN BE EJECTED RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. CHRYSLER DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LIFTGATE LATCH WITH A NEW STRONGER LATCH ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CHARGE. CHRYSLER BEGAN NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 1995.

Defect. WHEELS WITH MISFORMED LUG NUT SEATS WERE INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS CAUSES REDUCED NUT TO WHEEL CONTACT AREA AND LIMITS THE WHEEL SELF-CENTERING CAPABILITY DURING INSTALLATION. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE RETENTION.

Risk. LOSS OF LUG NUT TORQUE RETENTION MAY LEAD TO WHEEL LUGFAILURE WHICH MAY CAUSE WHEEL SEPARATION AND AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy. INSPECT THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY PLANT CODE; REPLACE WHEELS KNOWN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND INSTALL NEW LUG NUTS.

MY CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES. THEY ARE ALL OK. WHEN CONTACTING SEVERAL MECHANIC AND READING ON-LINE FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM, IT IS COMMONLY REVEALED THAT THE AIR BAG SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL MAY HAVE GONE BAD WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON. THE VEHICLE, OTHERWISE IS OPERABLE. I WONDER IF THIS REVELATION IS TRUE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER SERIOUS RISKS THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW SHIELD WIPER MOTOR THREE TIMES IN A ONE YEAR PERIOD. THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 99V189000 (VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER LINKAGES), WHICH DEALT WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE PIVOT ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 8/8/12 *CN UPDATED 08/14/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AS IT OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE BEGAN TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VARIOUS INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITIES WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE HANDLING DEGRADED DUE TO REAR AXLE/BEAM FAILURE. THE HANDLING OF THE MINIVAN WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE REAR WHEEL HAD A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE CAMBER WHEN IT HAS A SOLID REAR AXLE/BEAM. I JACKED THE CAR UP AND INSPECTED THE REAR / AXLE AND BEAM AND SAW A NEAR COMPLETE RUST THROUGH OF THE REAR AXLE/BEAM. THE RUST RESULTED IN THE REAR AXLE BENDING UPWARDS NEAR THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CASTING/HUB. THIS IN TURN YIELDED THE NEGATIVE CAMBER. THE FAILURE WAS CAUGHT PRIOR TO OCCURRING WHILE AT NORMAL SPEEDS (55 MPH). THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT IF THIS HAD FAILED AT 55 MPH IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN HELD ON BY A SHOCK ABSORBER AND BRAKE LINE. I HAVE NOT YET FINALIZE HOW TO REPAIR THIS BUT LOOKING AT THE REAR AXLE/BEAM ASSEMBLY IT WILL TAKE A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THIS ASSEMBLY. I'D EXPECT THIS TO BE A $2000 REPAIR. I HAVE DETAILED PHOTOGRAPHS AND A REPORT THAT I WOULD BE GLAD TO FORWARD. A MAJOR SUSPENSION COMPONENT SHOULD NOT RUST THROUGH TO FAILURE EVER IF IT WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DODGE DESIGN CONNECTS THE TWO REAR WHEELS CAST IRON HUBS VIA A THIN WALLED TUBE. THIS THIN WALL TUBE KEEPS THE REAR WHEELS ALIGNED AND AT THE CORRECT CAMBER. THIS TUBE RUSTED THROUGH SUCH THAT THE MAIN SUPPORT TYING THE WHOLE REAR SUSPENSION TOGETHER IS LOST. THIS VAN SPENT SEVERAL YEARS IN NY. I WOULD SAY ANY DODGE MINIVAN RUNNING IN THE NORTH EAST IS AT A SIGNIFI

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. THE CONTACT IS EXPERIENCING A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM NEXT TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V268000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM). THEY REPLACED THE FUEL RAIL, BUT WOULD NOT REPAIR IT WITH A FREE SERVICE CHARGE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 180,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. WHILE DRIVING 4 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AXLE SNAPPED. THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE CONTACT HEARD A SQUEALING NOISE RIGHT BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THAT THE AXLE HAS BEEN TOWED AND REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 115,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

FATIGUE CRACKING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HINGE PILLAR AROUND THE HINGE. THE CRACK HAS PROGRESSED ROUGHLY 50% OF THE WAY AROUND THE HINGE AND WILL LEAD TO COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE HINGE FROM THE PILLAR WITHOUT REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS HAD NO ACCIDENTS. THE INCIDENT DATE IS THE APPROXIMATE DATE THE CRACK WAS FIRST DETECTED. *JB

NHTS CAMPAIGN 99V189000 CONCERNS A FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGES ON 1993 PLYMOUTH VOYAGERS LEADING TO TOTAL LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. THIS HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER TODAY DURING A STORM, FORCING HER TO RETURN HOME VERY SLOWLY. NO ACCIDENT, NO ONE HURT. (NOTE THAT I AM A REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER.) UPON HER RETURN, I INSPECTED AND FOUND THAT: 1. THE WIPER MOTOR WAS RUNNING AND COULD BE AUDIBLY HEARD WHILE THE WIPERS SAT MOTIONLESS. 2. THE TWO WIPERS WERE LINKED TOGETHER AND COULD BE MOVED EASILY BY HAND. 3. THE RUNNING WIPER MOTOR WOULD NOT MOVE THE WIPERS. AT THAT POINT I REMOVED THE 3 BOLTS HOLDING THE WIPER MOTOR IN PLACE AND LOOKED INSIDE THE WIPER ARM CAVITY. I FOUND WIPER DRIVE ARM TO BE DETACHED FROM THE ROTATING ARM ON THE DRIVE MOTOR SHAFT. I HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. THE REASON FOR MY REPORT IS THIS: THE VAN WHICH THIS HAPPENED TO IS A 1994 GRAND VOYAGER, SAME BODY STYLE AS THE 1993. HOW DOES ONE SUGGEST THAT THE 1994 MODEL SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED? REGARDS, JEFF BOX [email protected]. *NM

CONSUMER CLOSED THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR WHICH HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND CLOSE FOR SOME TIME, AND CURRENTLY IT FELL OFF. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS KEPT LOCKING, AND THE BELL KEPT GOING ON. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED, AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION. BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND BOTH FRONTAL SEAT BELTS FAILED TO LOCK. THIS CAUSED THE PASSENGER TO SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB *TC

WITHOUT WARNING THE TOP HINGE OF THE HYDRAULIC LIFT OF THE TAILGATE SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. HYDRAULIC "TUBE" WAS SENT INTO THE CEILING OF THE VAN, CAUSING THE INTERIOR AND CEILING TO HAVE SEVERE DAMAGE. HATCH CANNOT BE OPENED WITHOUT REMOVING HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLY.*AK

CAR WAS RECALLED TO CORRECT AIR BAG LIGHT MALFUNCTION, BUT PRESENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON, AND IT SMELLED AS IF SOMETHING ELETRICAL WAS BURNING. MY RADIO WENT OUT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T COME ON AND THE CAR SIMPLY WOULDNOT EVEN TURN OVER. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED, SITING A FUSE ON 11/23/04. THE SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS NOTED , THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT DIM, LIGHTS APPEARED ON DASH, SPEED WAS REDUCED SO RAPIDLY IT FELT AS IF SOMETHING HAS FALLEN FROM THE BOTTOM OF VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL IS SHORTING OUT DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. PLEASE HELP ME.*AK

PLASTIC HEADLIGHTS GET CLOUDY AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE LIGHT OUTPUT AND THUS VISIBILITY DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH SEVERAL CHRYSLER CORPORATION MINIVANS AND A NISSAN ALTIMA, HOWEVER, A QUICK TOUR THRU A PARKING LOT WILL IDENTIFY NUMEROUS CAR MAKES AND MODELS WITH CLOUDED HEADLIGHTS. IF THE PLASTIC CAN'T BE MANUFACTURED IN A WAY THAT PREVENTS IT FROM GETTING CLOUDY OR YELLOW, MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO USE GLASS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

I WAS DRIVING A GROUP OF STUDENTS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND LOST ALL GEARS ON MY TRANSMISSION. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT KEPT ROLLING. THE INTERIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN. AT THE SAME TIME, IT BLEW OUT THE STARTER AND THE MAIN DRIVE. IF I CAN FIND A USED OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION, IT WILL COST ME $1,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION PLUS LABOR COSTS. BEEN SEARCHING 2 WEEKS WITH NO LUCK. IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TAKES THESE REPORTS SERIOUSLY. AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE STARTED. I BOUGHT THIS VAN FROM MY DAD WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN 1999. IT'S 2004 AND IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN.*AK

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE GEN 3 SEAT BELTS I DON'T REALLY HAVE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO US IN OUR VEHICLE, HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. AS AN OWNER OF A 1994 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER, I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. *LA

COOLING SYSTEM FAN BROKE BECAUSE OF THE ALUMINUM BRACKET THAT HELD IT IN PLACE. THE BRACKET WAS ATTACHED TO A STEEL ROD WHICH CAUSED TOO MUCH STRESS AND EVENTUALLY RESULTED IN THE FAN BRACKETS BREAKING. THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED TWICE. *AK *TS *JB

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG ON OUR 1994 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 30 MPH. THERE WAS NO COLLISION, ROAD BUMPS OR ANYOTHER PHYSICAL JARRING OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER (MY WIFE) SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES (BROKEN NOSE, CUT LIPS AND BRUSING) AND SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THIS WAS REPORTED TO CHRYSLER, WHO HAS BEEN VERY UNCOOPERATIVE AND RUDE. THE CHRYSLER SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS FILE NUMBER IS 11586772 (WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM).*AK

2 ITEMS OF CONCERN. THE AIRCONDITIONING UNIT HAS FAILED. WE OWN A BLUE GRAND VOYAGER MINIVAN AND THE PAINT IS PEELING FROM THE ROOF AND ENGINE HOOD OF THE CAR. WE HAVE NOTICED MANY OF THE SAME COLOR AND YEAR TRUCKS, VANS AND CARS WITH FAILING PAINT. A RECALL SHOULD HAPPEN. PAINT SHOULD NOT START PEELING AFTER 4 YEARS OF A CARS LIFE.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY AND ONGONE PROBLEM WITH ABS INDICATOR LIGHT. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING OIL BEGAN TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. *NLM

THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES.*JB

NO FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE I OWN A VEHICLE WITH GEN 3 SEAT BELTS SUBJECT TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, AND I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE NHTSA. DT

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. THAN LATER ON I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY REAR WINDOW WIPER BLADE WAS NOT WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT IT COULD BE A WIRING PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE. DT

THE METAL TUBE WHICH SUPPLIES COOLANT TO THE REAR HEATER BEGAN TO LEAK DUE TO CORROSION, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TUBE, HOWEVER ABOUT THREE AND A HLF YEARS LATER IT BEGAN CORRODING AGAIN, THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIR BUT IT WAS REJECTED. NLM

PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE MORNING OF JANUARY 8, 2002 AND INTO TRAFFIC. FELT A HARD JERK AND HEARD A STRANGE WINDING NOISE. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT FROM AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $2147.28 WITH A 3 YEAR / 36,000 MILE WARRANTY.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH BELT TENSIONER BROKE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES.*AK *MJ

THE PART THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED IS COONDIERED A NON-WEAR ITEM. THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN IN HALF. I CURRENTLY HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE I SUSPECT THIS PART IS BROKEN AGAIN. I WANTED TO SEE IF THE NHTSA HAD RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND TO SEE IF THERE IS RECOURSE BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE FAILURE OF THE TORSION BAR. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CONCERN...PATRICK ADAMO 574-257-3153. *AK

CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE RECALL 99V113000 PERFORMED, HOWEVER THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED HAD TO BE ORDERED, AND CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT WHEN THE PART CAME IN HE WOULD RECEIVE A CALL, CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED A CALL, CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER REGARDING ANOTHER RECALL AND THEN MENTIONED THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT THE LIGHT WAS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY, THE DEALER STATED THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED, CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL, AND THE CONSUMER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS, CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JB

WHILE TRAVELING AT 30 MPH CONSUMER NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS NO WARNING. PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE, WHICH CAUGHT ON FIRE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR MY MOTHER TO PAY A BILL. I HAD MY ENGINE OFF, BUT THE POWER WAS ON. I HAD MY POWER WINDOW DOWN. MY TWO YEAR OLD WAS LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW. SHE STEPPED UP AND HER FOOT PRESSED ON THE POWERWINDOW BUTTON AND THE WINDOW RAISED UP ON HER HEAD AND MADE A MARK ON HER CHEEK. I TRIED TO STOP THE WINDOW WITH THE BUTTON ON MY SIDE TO QUICKLY STOP THE WINDOW FROM RAISING, BUT IT WOULDN'T OVERRIDE HER BUTTON. I QUICKLY REACHED OVER AND GOT THE BUTTON DOWN, BUT IF HER HEAD HAD BEEN OUT OF THE WINDOW MORE, IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BROKEN HER NECK! THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY WARNING ISSUED TO PREVENT A CHILD FROM GETTING HURT OR KILLED. I HAD NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. HAD I BEEN STANDING OUTSIDE THE CAR, ETC., IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR POSSIBLE DEATH.*AK

CONSUMER HAD REPLACED LIGHT FUSE A FEW TIMES. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER, BUT COULD NOT BE FIXED, AND EACH TIME HAD BURNED A FUSE. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK
