“I own a 2002 Dodge Caravan se, with roughly 115,000 miles on it. I was driving down the highway at the posted speed limit of 55 MPH. The weather was fine, not particularly windy or anything of that nature. All of a sudden, I heard a loud popping sound. I looked in my rear view mirror just in time to see the passenger-side back window imploding into the back of the van. It was the very back side window, the one that is able to be vented manually. It was not vented at the time of the implosion. I had not seen any projectiles sailing through the air that could've hit the window. …”

NHTSA complaint #10052835, filed 2004-01“The first failure was the airbag light staying on continuely. I had it repaired a few months after buying the vehicle new. Less than six months later, the light stayed on again. We had moved to ashland and it was repaired there. Within a week of having it repaired, I tried to use my horn and it did not work. They couldn't fix it at my convience, so I had to wait a few weeks to get it repairs. Now, my windows sometimes go up and down and sometimes they do not. My van is less than 2 years old and already, I have had to borrow someones car because mine was in the shop. …”
