Recall 80355 [USA]: The nuts included in the packaging for these ball joint assemblies are missing the intended prevailing torque (self-locking) feature. if the incorrect nut was to become loose, the joining members may loosen leading to a separation of the ball joint. this may result in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Recall 28641 [USA]: If the liftgate latch opens, occupants can be ejected resulting in significantly increased risk of injury or death.
Recall 21494 [USA]: Fatigue failure of safety belts in a sudden stop oraccident condition results in increased likelihood of injury to seat occupant.
Recall 23826 [USA]: This could result in inconsistent front to rear brakebalance with potential for rear brake skid under heavy braking conditions.
Recall 24712 [USA]: The leakage of oil in the engine compartment could causea fire.

Rear seat anchorages investigation # PE95014

Liftgate latches investigation # EA94005
Liftgate latches in the subject vehicles have failed in low and moderate speed impacts resulting in occupant ejections, injuries, and fatalities.There are two failure modes associated with latch failure: fork bolt-detent lever bypass, and inertial unlatching.Nhtsa analyses of chrysler and peer minivans took the form of static and dynamic crash testing, engineering evaluations, complaint and field analyses, and real world data analyses.A technical report discussing these analyses can be found in the engineering analysis technical report in the public viewing file.Chrysler has advised nhtsa that it will conduct a campaign to replace the latches on all the subject vehicles.The chrysler campaign will consist of notification letters to all owners; free replacement of all latches with stronger, safer latches regardless of the age of the minivans; national advertising to promote customer awareness of the campaign; quarterly reports regarding campaign completion rates; as well as additional measures to ensure a high completion rate, above and beyond the actions that normally would be taken in a formal safety recall.These include follow up written and telephonic notifications to owners who do not bring their vehicles in for corrective action.Nhtsa firmly believes that the crash performance of the latches on these minivans raises serious safety concerns, and that the campaign addresses these concerns.The chrysler corrective action will increase the strength of the liftgate latches and decrease the potential for inertial unlatching, thereby reducing the risk of crash-related openings of the liftgate and possible occupant ejection through the liftgate opening.Owners of chrysler minivans will get a stronger, safer latch free of charge at the earliest possible time, without the need for further technical investigation and complex and time-consuming litigation with an uncertain outcome.Based on the above, odi is closing this investigation.

Tl*the contact owns a 1990 dodge caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle would fail to stop intermittently when the brake pedal was depressed. In addition, the brake warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel during the failures. The dealer replaced the brake pump at the cost of over $400. She called the manufacturer in reference to nhtsa campaign id number 90v145000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:differential proportional valve), but was denied reimbursement for being verbally abusive to the representative. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 141,000 and current mileage was 165,124.

I started noticing a slight grinding noise 1 week before the failure. It only happened when it was cold and only when turning left. I thought it could be a bad u-joint. On the morning of 2-16-07 8:15 am i was turning left at an intersection when the transmission gave out. It chewed up one of the bearings (which a mechanic later told me was notorious for going out) and dropped them all over the road. I was caught in the middle of the intersection with no way to go anywhere, blocking traffic. This could have resulted in a major accident. I was also unable to leave the vehicle on the side of the road which had an incline to it. The transmission was no longer attached to the drivetrain and putting the transmission in park had no effect. I had to push the vehicle into someone's driveway and leave it there with a rock in front of the wheel. I did have the emergency brake on but i was not going to totally trust it to keep the van stationary. This is the second transmission that has been put into the van. It is a 1990 with only 87000 original miles. I am the second owner and only put 2000-3000 miles a year on this van. The second transmission has less than 25000 miles on it. *nm

Driving in a heavy rain storm pulled over and stopped saw what looked like steam coming from the motor. It was daylight out did not notice that headlights didn't work just the running lights till a few hours later. After having heater on headlights will come on but smell what seems like wires burning and the speaker on the front passenger side makes a cackling noise. Otherwise you have to hold the highbeam switch to have headlights on.*ak

I own a 1990 dodge grand caravan with the motor. One morning on my way to work the accelerator stuck open. I pulled over to investigate and removed the air cleaner cover and map sensor to see what why the throttle was stuck open. I found a square piece of plastic that looks like a little table with a hole in the top. I wanted to find out how it got there so i took the air cleaner out and found that it is supposed to hold the crankcase ventilation filter in the bottom of the canister. The bad thing about this is that i was on icy roads and the only way i could control the vehicle was to shut the engine off and coast into a driveway. I also remembered this happening to the 1991 plymouth grand voyager that i used to own. These vehicles were purchased used and therefore, i suspect that at one time someone has ran these without a filter in place. The big question is, of all these vans on the road, how many have been run without a filter. I had owned each of these at least six months before this happened. I feel that anything in the airflow path on a vehicle should be secured so there is no way it can be drawn into the engine. *nlm
