WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15MPH BACK DOOR FLEW UP. CONSUMER PULLED OVER TO SHUT DOOR, BUT IT WOULD NOT SHUT. THEN IT FINALLY CLOSED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE DOOR (RECALL # 95I001001 AND 95I001005). WENT TO HAVE RECALL REPAIRS DONE.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED BY WIFE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET THE VAN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THESE TYPES OF FAILURES ARE COMMON, THOUGH CHRYSLER IS NOT ADMITTING IT. IN ADDITION, THE MOUNTS HOLDING THE TRANSMISSION IN PLACE ALSO REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. PREVIOUSLY THE ENGINE MOUNT ON THE VAN FAILED. FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR MOUNTS POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR RIDERS OF THE VEHICLE. THE OTHER FAILURES, THOUGH COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING TO REPAIR, DID NOT SEEM TO POSE A MAJOR SAFETY RISK. *AK

A LOUD NOISE IS HEARD WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL BUT NOISE SUBSIDES AS FUEL IS USED UP. YH

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE WHILE ENGINE STILL COLD (APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS). INTERMITTENT IN WINTER OF 1998-99, INCREASING TO CHRONIC SITUATION BY SUMMER OF 1999. SITUATIONS RANGED FROM ANNOYING (NOT ABLE TO BACK UP AT GAS PUMP) TO DANGEROUS. WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF LANE ON FAST, BUSY ROAD WHERE CONSTRUCTION FORCED THEM OUT OF LANE (ROUTE 33 IN GREENLAND/PORTSMOUTH NH, IN OCTOBER, 1999). OTHER TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN NOT SHIFTING UP FROM 2ND TO THIRD WHILE COLD (50,000 MILES), AND HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED LOUDLY AND WITH A THUD. SITUATIONS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE DANGEROUS, AND WE FEEL THAT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ABS BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO APPLY BRAKES & HAD NO BRAKES. VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP RIGHT AWAY. TOOK TO DEALER & MECHANIC REPLACED ABS PUMP. LATER, BRAKES FAILED AGAIN & TOOK VEHICLE BACK. BRAKES REPAIRED ONCE MORE. HOWEVER, PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED. DEALERSHIP HAS GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. THE AM/FM CASSETTE STEREO SYSTEM ALSO MALFUNCTIONED.
