NHTSA complaint #10287323, filed 2009-10, 6,000 miles“I am writing about what I feel was a severe airbag malfunction. I was in a crash that was high enough impact to total my rental vehicle...smash the front windshield, and turn the front end of the vehicle into an accordion; moreover, the accident could have ended my life. I escaped with torn muscles in my shoulders, hairline cracks in my front teeth and a broken collar bone. As the driver, I am highly suspicious about the airbags not deploying in such a high impact incident. The incident occurred when a motorist ran a redlight and ran into the front drivers side of my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10237780, filed 2008-08, 5,000 miles“Grand caravan , ~15,500 miles, front brakes and rotors are worn, and need replaced. Occurs when you press on the brakes can hear screeching sound and grinding. Chrysler is aware of the issue TSB# 05-006-08.”
NHTSA complaint #10269299, filed 2009-05, 15,500 miles“Mygig radio system stops functioning along with the backup camera. This happens randomly. Shutting the vehicle off and restarting will sometimes make them work again. Most times it has to be left off for several hours before the equipment will function again. Took it to the local dealer for this and an air conditioning problem. Was told it needed a software update that would correct both problems. Update helped for a while, but the radio/backup camera problem has returned again in the past couple of months.”
