I have a 99 Dodge Caravan SE and, because of a cracked windshield, it was discovered that it has a lot of rust on the pinch plate (area that windshield is bonded to). I can not put a new windshield in until it is repaired. Chrysler is not willing to help even though everyone who sees this problem informs me that it shouldn't be happening on a vehicle this new and that it is/was a safety hazard.

Seal around windshield is leaking, causing electrical shorts in vehicle. Dealer cannot remedy the problem. The water drops onto the computer control and causes all instruments to work irradically on the dash board. Consumer feels the main controls should be shielded from windshield leaks. Also, the headlights and tail lights went out.

The first time my van was parked in front of my house and when I went out the next morning, the small window in the rear on the drivers side was smashed in. I called the police, but they said it did not look like vandalism, so I chalked it up as an act of nature. The next time it happened a couple of weeks later while I was driving my son home from preschool and this time it was the large window near him directly behind the drivers side window. I was driving about 20mph about to come to a stop light, taking the normal route and it smashed inward and glass blew in toward my son. Luckily no one was hurt, but this kind of default in the glass could have left major injuries. It is essential that this is addressed in these vehicles.
