ALL SEEM TO BE RELATED TO A HANDLING PROBLEM. THE VAN/MOTORHOME VIOLENTLY WANDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 60 + MPH. IT IS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE. WHEN YOU PAY $60K PLUS FOR A VEHICLE, YOU EXPECT A BETTER HANDLING VECHICLE THAN THIS VAN/MOTORHOME. I'M VERY DISAPOINTED WITH DODGE. THE REAR SWAY BAR WAS REPLACED, BUT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE HANDLING. THE HANDLING IS EVEN WORSE WHEN THERE'S A SLIGHT SIDE WIND. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE "LEMON LAW" BUT IF I COULD RETURN THE VECHICLE TO DODGE AND GET THE PURCHASE PRICE BACK, I WOULD DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT TAKE TO FIX THE HANDLING PROBLEM, STRONGER FRONT SPRINGS, DIFFERENT TIRES, DIFFERENT STEERING BOX, DIFFERENT STEERING RODS AND ARMS, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO GET CHANGED AT DODGE'S EXPENSE.*AK

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN MAKING A TURN. DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, CONSUMER COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE ON TIME AND CRASH INTO REAR OF OTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.*AK

MY COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE IIHS CRASH TEST SHOWING GAS LEAK WHICH MAY CAUSE FATAL FIRE UPON A 40 MPH COLLISION. MANUFACTURER HAS A RECALL ON HOLD. I WANT IT TAKEN CARE OF ASAP.
