NHTSA complaint #10226813, filed 2008-05, 37,000 miles“2004 Dodge Caravan has small pieces of fiber glass coming out of the vents. This problem gets all over the dash. The insulation was coming from the A/C coil covering. The consumer makes a lot of long trips and is concerned about his breathing this for several hours. The consumer experienced the same problem with his 2000 Caravan. The factory replaced the A/C coil under warranty but this did not help the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10119301, filed 2005-04“On board computer maps almost caused another car to run into me... He was distracted using his map while driving. The solution is have map systems nonfunctional while car is moving. A simple sensor could do this and save a lot of lives. All makes and models not just Dodge.”
