The roof line of the short wheel base Caravan minivan slopes down so low that even short adults (and tall children) can not sit in the 3rd seat without their necks being smashed forward against the roof. I am certain that this design will result in necks being broken in crash situations. It is just a matter of time. Chrysler needs to provide owners with lower seats that allow adequate head room.
