Potential Consequences:

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY KIND OF COLLISION OR HAD ANY DAMAGE TO IT. ONE REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN AND THE OTHER REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND THE OCCUPANTS WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE VERY QUICKLY, THIS COULD BE AFFECTING LIFE OR DEATH. IN ADDITION, THE ONE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT LOCK SO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT CAN BE OPENED. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN.. IN ADDITION, THIS IS A MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO SECURE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT A DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. ALL I WAS TOLD WAS IT TAKES $1,200 TO FIX IT FOR EACH DOOR.

Potential Consequences:

THIS IS MY 3 TOWN & COUNTRY MINI VAN. HOWEVER THE LAST TWO I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SEAT BELTS GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE SEAT BELT RETRACTION SYSTEM AND EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO TEAR. THIS HAS COMPROMISED THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. OUR 2008 MINI VAN WAS WITHIN WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THEREFORE WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. NOW WE HAVE A 2016 TOWN AND COUNTRY AND AT LEAST 4 OF THE 7 SEATBELTS ARE FRAYING.. THE FACT THAT IT'S HAPPENING TO NEARLY ALL THE SEAT BELTS MAKES ME THINK THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW.

Defect Description:

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

WHEN I COLLAPSE THE SECOND ROW SEATS IN MY 2016 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, THE HEAD REST SNAP DOWNWARD, EXTREMELY FAST WITH A POWERFUL FORCE. I AM REQUIRED TO PULL ON A HANDLE ON THE DOORSIDE OF THE SEAT, WHICH BEGINS THE AUTOMATIC PROCESS OF THE FOLDING OF THE CHAIR, TO EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO STORE THE SEAT IN THE FLOOR OF THE VAN, FOR CARGO SPACE. THE FIRST TIME I ATTEMPTED TO STORE THE SECOND ROW PASSENGER SEAT, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, I PLACED MY LEFT HAND ON THE INSIDE, UPPER PART OF THE SEAT, WHERE YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER MIGHT BE IF YOU ARE SITTING IN THE SEAT. WHEN I RAISED THE HANDLE TO COLLAPSE THE SEAT, THE HEAD REST, SLAMMED DOWN ON MY LEFT ARM. IT WAS PAINFUL, IT FELT LIKE MY LEFT ARM MAY HAVE BEEN FRACTURED, AND IT WAS BADLY BRUISED FOR MORE THAN A MONTH. THE NEXT TIME I WAS CLIPPED BY THE HEAD REST, I WAS PULLING UP ON THE HANDLE AND AT THE SAME TIME INSTINCTUALLY REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, AND IN AN ATTEMPTED TO PULL MY ARM OUT OF HARM'S WAY, MY LEFT WRIST WAS SMASHED UNDER THE FORCE OF THE HEADREST. MY MOST RECENT INJURY FROM THE HEAD REST MALFUNCTION, WAS A BASH TO MY HEAD WHILE COLLAPSING THE PASSENGER SIDE SECOND ROW SEAT. I WANTED TO TALK TO SOME ONE AT DODGE ABOUT THIS, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A CONTACT FOR THESE MATTERS. I AM GLAD I FOUND YOUR SITE. I HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS HAD THE SAME, OR EVEN SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THESE EVENTS TOOK PLACE.*DT*DT *JS
