“10am, driving at a low rate of speed, slowing to turn left, I suddenly lost power steering and had to manual make the turn (very difficult). The van was also hesitating, like it would stall. I regained full power and power steering after 10 seconds +/-. Noon, same day, accellerating <35mph, uphill, same problem occurred with the exception that after power steering failure, I completely stalled in the road and had to restart the vehicle. Brought to dealership wednesday. They were unable to find the problem (no code) or duplicate the problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10178902, filed 2007-01, 71,000 miles“While traveling north bound on m-24, (telegraph rd.), my left rear quarter panel window exploded. The temp. At the time was aprox. 65 deg.s road condition was smooth. The window was open at the time of the explosion. After checking the internet concerning this problem, it did not take long to find hundreds of people who experienced the exact same thing. All of these incidents involved all years from 2001 to 2012. Why hasn't anything been done about this problem?”
NHTSA complaint #10477967, filed 2012-09, 63,000 miles“Windshield washer spray nozzles froze during low temperature conditions causing serious visibility problems on highway due to salt spray. Extra heavy duty 'red' solution had been used, supposed to be good for -30 degrees f. It appears that the position of the spray nozzles, and perhaps the position of the reservoir tank do no benefit from the heat of the engine or defrosters.”
NHTSA complaint #10003459, filed 2003-01, 11,200 miles“The power windows in the Chrysler mini vans, are very bad, they go bad very often. The power window motor goes out very often. Leaving the window either up or down. Or will not work at all . Cheap design.”
