UNDER ROUTINE MAINTAINENCE THE MECHANIC AT SANDERS AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE NOTICED THAT THE LOWER HINGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDED DOOR WAS LOOSE AND THEN THAT THE METAL AROUND THE OPENING IN THE DOOR POST COLUMN WHERE THE HINGE ENTERS THE POST IS "TORN". I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER, LOOKED UP NHTS BULLETINS AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO REPORT MY FINDINGS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED. IT IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST BUT IT IS A SERIOUS COST TO ME IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS NOT FROM ABUSE BY MYSELF OR THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY ASSEMBLY PROBLEM--A FAILED WELD IN THE BACK UP PLATE THAT HOLDS THE HINGE TO THE BODY.

ON APRIL 14, 1999, THE DOOR LATCH FAILED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT (AT BEST), TO SECURE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THE DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED ON 4/15. ON MAY 2, THE REPLACED DOOR LATCH FAILED. UPON INSPECTION BY OUR MECHANIC, AND A SEPARATE MECHANIC AT A LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A DESIGN FLAW IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES: THAT THE DOOR IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE SHEET METAL IT IS BOLTED TO, THAT THE SHEET METAL WEAKENS AND THE DOOR BEGINS TO COME OUT OF ALIGNMENT, AND THAT AS THE SHEET METAL CONTINUES TO BE STRESSED, IT MISALIGNS, CAUSING THE LATCH TO FAIL TO MAKE CONTACT CORRECTLY AND EVENTUALLY BREAKING THE LATCH. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THE DOOR MAY COME OPEN SUDDENLY, (AS YOU ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE DOOR). OUR MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC AT THE BODY SHOP CHECKED TO SEE IF THE VAN HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR REPAIRS, AS THEY SEE THIS TYPE OF REPAIR FREQUENTLY ON CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. TWO DEALERSHIPS WERE CONTACTED AND WE WERE TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE FIRST REPAIR COST ABOUT $60 (REPAIRING THE LATCH ONLY). AN ESTIMATE FOR THE SECOND REPAIR IS $331. UNFORTUNATELY WE CANNOT WAIT FOR A RECALL TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HOPE THAT OUR EXPERIENCE WILL HELP SAVE SOMEONE ELSE THE TROUBLE WE'VE HAD. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW WE MIGHT DEAL WITH THE MANUFACTURER, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I AM HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THE VIN NUMBER OVER THE PHONE IF YOU WISH TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER
