1999: “The key cylinder on the steering column of our 1999 dodge grand caravan froze and the key would not move. The vehicle had to be towed. Had this happened in a bad neighborhood or in traffic, it could have been life-threatening. We are afraid to use the vehicle until we are able to have it repaired because we may get stuck somewhere. We have spoken with chrysler customer service, and they refuse to acknowledge any responsibility for the problem. …”
