The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
While driving approx. 40 miles an hour, the drivers side rear vent window in my 2003 Chrysler Town & Country exploded all by itself into the van leaving broken pieces of glass all over three small children buckled into car seats. None of the windows were open at the time and there was not a major temp. Change. There was no evidence of anything hitting the window from either the inside or the outside. There were no previous cracks in the window. Luckily, all of my children were ok. I reported this to my local Chrysler dealership and to the daimler Chrysler Corp. I see that there are several complaints for this serious problem reported here with NHTSA. Someone needs to do something about this before a child or a person is critically injured.

2003 Chrysler Town and country ex. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle the consumer took it back to the dealer because the drivers side rear window did not seal correctly. When passenger's rode in the back seat the could hear whistling noise. The salesman pushed in on the window and thought this fixed the problem. There is 60000 miles on the vehicle now. On memorial day weekend that rear window blew out while the consumer was driving 75 mph. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer but they will only repair it at the consumer's expense, $200. The service department has spoken with warranty through Chrysler, and they denied this claim because of the mileage on the vehicle.

My 2003 Town and country limited minivan recently had a window blow out on the passenger sliding door. The incident happened while driving down the highway and resembled a tear about a third of the way up the window. It did not resemble an external damage sight and seemed to look as if the window ripped open for some reason. The initial 'tear' was about a foot long and expanded through out the entire window from there. I was quickly referred to my insurance carrier by the dealership. I was on my way there and was less then a mile from them when this occurred.
