MY 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE CAN BE EASILY SHIFTED INTO GEAR WHILE IN AUXILIARY POWER, AND IT SOMETIMES LOCKS OUT MY BRAKES, AS THERE IS A LOCKED STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN'T STEER IT AND CAN'T TURN IT ON WITHOUT SHIFTING BACK TO PARK WHICH CAN BE DIFFICULT IF THE BRAKES LOCK. A CHILD COULD EASILY SET IT IN GEAR IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE AIR AND YOU LEAVE THE CAR BRIEFLY, I DO NOT HAVE KIDS BUT I DO RUN SOME TAXI WORK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT COULD BE DONE ANYWHERE AS LONG AS IT'S IN AUXILIARY POWER TO RADIO AND ELECTRICS BUT NOT FULLY ON

AFTER ALMOST EVERY FILL UP VEHICLE STALLS WHEN GOING DOWN ROAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE IS DEFECTIVE. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR VEHICLES SHUT DOWN IS DANGEROUS. WHY DOES THE MANUFACTURER NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN THE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH, I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND THEN IT WOULDN'T RUN AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SO AFTER A FEW WEEKS THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A VALVE JOB. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AND HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED.

IF VARIOUS OTHER DESIGN FLAWS WITH OTHER VEHICLE PARTS HAVE BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF RECALL TO BE REDESIGNED BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO THAT FOR WHICH THEY WERE DESIGNED...THEN I FEEL LIKE DODGE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL MILLIONS OF MINI VANS THEY HAVE PRODUCED IN EARLY 2000'S THAT HAVE TOTALLY RUSTED OUT LOWER PORTION OF SIDE SLIDING DOORS...TOTAL DESIGN FLAW!!!!! A DESIGN FLAW IS A DESIGN FLAW...MANUFACTURES FAULT. THANKS FOR LISTENING..[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TAKARA RECALL- MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A STORE IN WAS WORKING IN, I WENT OUT TO TAKE A BREAK AND HAD THE SEAT WARMER ON HIGH BECAUSE MY BACK WAS HURTING. I STARTED SMELLING BURNING RUBBER, SO I TURNED IT OFF. UPON EXITING MY VEHICLE THERE WERE TWO HOLES BURNED INTO MY DRIVERS SEAT. I HAD USED THE SEAT WARMER NUMEROUS TIMES PRIOR TO THIS AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IF I HADN'T TURNED THE SEAT WARMER OFF MY VAN AND MYSELF PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ON FIRE.
