I OWN A 2000 GRAND VOYAGER VAN. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SERPENTINE BELT FALLING OFF SO MUCH IN THE HISTORY OF OWNERSHIP THAT I AM FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS MOSTLY WHEN IT RAINS AND I HAVE SPENT $2000 PLUS DOLLARS IN TOWS CHARGES AND MECHANIC SERVICES CHARGES TO REPLACE THE SERPENTINE BELT, TENSIONER WITH PULLEY AND IDLER PULLEY. I FEEL THAT THE DODGE/PLYMOUTH VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS HAVE KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE LET CONSUMERS SUFFER AND STRUGGLE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUES WITH NO INTERVENTION ON THEIR PART. I AM A PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED PERSON WHO USES A WHEELCHAIR FOR MY MOBILITY AND THE VAN WAS MODIFIED TO ACCEPT A RAMP SYSTEM, WITH NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE CHASSIS OR ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAVE BEEN LEFT BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY MANY TIMES. *TR

THE REMOVABLE HEAD RESTS IN MY 2000 CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER HAVE A DESIGN FLAW. THE METAL SUPPORTS THAT EXTEND INTO THE PADDING ARE NOW PROTRUDING THROUGH THAT PADDING, BUT NOT THROUGH THE OUTER VINYL COVER, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGERS HEAD WILL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE METAL AND LIKELY RECEIVE INJURIES FROM IT. THE HEADRESTS HAVE BEEN TURNED AROUND BACKWARDS TO PREVENT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE, THOUGH THEY ARE NOW NOT ADJUSTABLE AND WILL ONLY PROVIDE HEAD/NECK SUPPORT TO A CHILD. MY VAN CONTAINS 4 OF THESE HEADRESTS. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS AND ALL OF THEM HAVE DETERIORATED DURING THIS TIME. *TR
