“As I slowly was turning the car to park in a parking lot in vienna va shopping center, the van suddenly accelerated on its own and stopped when it crashed into handicap parking pole marker ( no damage). Damage to my van which is visable appears to be the front of the hood of the car and a damaged but functioning radiator as best I can see. Note: the air bags were not activeated, and wondered why they didn't.( is this another problem ?)”

My problem is we have a light blue Dodge Caravan and the paint is peeling badly!!!! I have seen other light blue Dodge caravans the same year and model that are also peeling badly. What can I do to get it repaired?”
