HVAC DRIPPING INTO RIGHT FRAME HORN CAUSING SEVERE RUST AFFECTING STEERING LINKAGE, AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. NO APPROPRIATE DRAIN TUBE TO ROUTE MOISTURE AWAY FROM FRAME WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. VERY DANGEROUS!

THE FRAME HORNS {LEFT AND RIGHT} DEVELOPED CRACKS ON ALL FOUR SIDES AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHEELS LEADING TO THE DETACHMENT OF THE STEERING ARM AND STABILIZER BAR RESULTING IN LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE DETACHMENT IS NOT FULLY COMPLETE IT ONLY THROUGH THE EXTREMELY WEAKENED CONNECTIONS THAT REMAIN THAT AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP AS SOON THE LOSS OF CONTROL WAS EXPERIENCED AND HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE. IT IS CANNOT BE OPERATED SAFELY IN THE THIS CONDITION. THE FAILED FRAME IS THE SOURCE OF THE DRIVEABILITY AND SAFETY ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON A 4 LANE DIVIDED ROAD WHEN THE LOSS OF CONTROL MANIFESTED.

2000 DODGE FULL SIZE VAN I BELIEVE THAT THE SMALL AND CROWDED FLOOR CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS IN A DRIVE-THROUGH LINE. WHEN I WENT TO MOVE AHEAD MY FOOT COVERED BOTH THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR. THE HARDER I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE THE FASTER THE VEHICLE WENT. THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE FOR A WHILE AND I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. *JB

Mileage: 45,000

DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS I HAVE HAD THE BELTS, ON MY 2000 DODGE CARAVAN, REPLACED, SIX TIMES. FOUR OF THOSE TIMES THE VAN HAD TO BE TOWED. THE VAN ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES. SINCE IT IS A "HANDICAPPED" VAN IT MAKES THE SITUATION EVEN MORE SERIOUS. *JB
