problem #2

Grand Caravan

After extensive research I have determined that this is a highly common problem with Dodge Caravan. When the clock spring fails, the airbags are prevented from deploying in a major accident. If Chrysler has intentionally installed a faulty safety device into their vehicles, they should be responsible for replacing it, not the consumer. A critical safety part should not fail so early in the life of an automobile.
