THIS CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER VAN HAS A DRIVE BELT PROBLEM. IT SLIPS OFF IN THE WET WEATHER AND CAUSES YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS VAN SINCE 2005 AND HAVE REPLACED THIS BELT 38 TIMES. NOW THEY OFFER A SOLUTION KIT SO FAR SO GOOD. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS KNOWN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. ITS A DANGER TO TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS AND COMMON ROADS. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRASHES THIS MUST HAVE CAUSED TO OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

I CAN NOT PUT MY CHILD IN A BOOSTER SEAT AT THE AGES OF 9 & 10 - IF I HIT A BUMP IN MY DODGE MINIVAN THEY WOULD GET A CONCUSSION FROM HITTING THEIR HEADS ON THE CEILING OF THE VAN. 2) IF WE HAD A ROLLOVER THEY WOULD CERTAINLY SUFFER GETTING THEIR HEAD CAVED IN?????? WHY DO YOU KEEP CHANGING THE REGULATIONS. MY KIDS ARE LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY FIGURE NEXT YEAR I'LL HAVE TO BE IN A BOOSTER SEAT. I'M 5' 5 AND THE SEAT BELT STILL GOES ACROSS MY STOMACH, SOUNDS LIKE BELT PROBLEMS- NOT BOOSTER SEAT NECESSITIES! (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2000, MAKE=MINIVAN, MODEL=CHRYSLER). *TR

PURCHASED A 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN IN NOVEMBER 1999 WITH CUSTOM ALLOY WHEELS. DURING JULY 2005 A FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT, WHICH I FIXED FOR $20. AS THE FLAT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED, CONSEQUENCE WAS MINOR. REPAIR SHOP REPORTED THAT THE FLAT WAS CAUSED BY THE PLATING OF THE WHEELS CUTTING INTO THE TIRE. I AM RELUCTANT TO REPLACE ANY OF THE TIRES, WHICH ARE NOW FIVE YEARS OLD AND DUE FOR REPLACEMENT, IF THE WHEELS WILL DAMAGE THE NEW TIRES AND MAKE THEM SUBJECT TO FAILURE, POSSIBLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHEN THE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO INJURY.
