Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE CLOCKSPRING CONNECTOR HAS FAILED ON MY 97 CHRYSLER MINIVAN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART WITH OVER 125,000 REPLACEMENT ITEMS SOLD AND A $250 REPAIR. CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR.

THERE ARE 2 PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS THAT HOLD THE REAR HATCH DOOR IN THE OPEN (LIFTED) POSITION. RECENTLY, THE BOLT THAT SECURES ONE END OF IT TO THE VEHICLE BROKE AND THE DOOR FELL AND HIT ME ON THE SHOULDERS ( IT IS QUITE HEAVY). I WAS NOT INJURED AND I BOUGHT A NEW CYLINDER WITH THE INTENTION OF REPLACING IT MYSELF BUT, INSTEAD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPAIRED IT. WHILE I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP I TALKED TO ANOTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY OWNER WHO TOLD ME HE HAD TO HAVE BOTH OF HIS CYLINDERS REPLACED BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM BROKE AT DIFFERENT TIMES. ARE THESE ISOLATED INSTANCES OR IS IT A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED?
