PROBLEM WITH RUBBER BUSHINGS THAT MOUNT STEERING RACK TO BODY, AND RUBBER BUSHINGS AT INNER TIEROD ENDS. THESE RUBBER BUSHINGS COMPLETELY DISSINTAGRATED AND WERE COMPLETELY GONE. THIS CAUSED DANGEROUS STEERING CONDITIONS. THIS CN'T BE AN ISOLATED CASE. IT MUST BE POOR QUALITY MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT STAND UP TO THE JOB. THE FACT THAT THIS HAPPENED TO TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF RUBBER BUSHINGS WOULD INDICATE THIS. VERY DANGEOUS CONDITIONS ARE CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM. IT MAKES THE CAR TOTALY UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

MANUFACTURED 25FEB98, 20 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER CAN CLIMB OUT BECAUSE CLASP THAT HOLDS STRAPS TOGETHER IS EASILY PUSHED DOWN. CALLED EVENFLO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE SEAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT SO ITS EASIER FOR THE EMT'S. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE EVEN HAVE A CAR SEAT LAW IF THATS THE CASE. I'M WORRIED THAT MY DAUGHTER BEING ABLE TO CLIMB OUT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR IF SHE GETS OUT JUST MOMENTS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT AND WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE. THE LADY I TALKED TO AT EVENFLO SAID HER SON DOES THE SAME THING AND SUGGESTED I PUT THE CLASP ON BACKWARDS. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING. I KNOW OF MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE ON THIS MATTER SOON!

SUPPORT BRACKET CAME LOOSE FOR A SECOND TIME. THIS BRACKET COULD EASILY PUNCTURE MY FUEL TANK. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT PARTS BREAK ON OLDER CARS AND I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN THAT COULD CAUSE ME PROBLEMS LATER EVEN IF I GET IF FIXED AGAIN.

BRAKE FAILURE, CONSUMER SLAMMED ON BRAKES AND VEHICLE BARELY STOPPED CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT A DEER. *SLC

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. WE FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS FOLLOWED BY THE TIRE COMING APART AND THE VAN VEERING OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD (WE WERE IN THE LEFT LANE FORTUNATELY). WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT THE TIRE, I FOUND THE TREAD HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL, BUT WAS INTACT. AFTER TAKING THE TIRE TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER, THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY (THEY COULD FIND NO PUCTURES OR PROBLEMS). *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/70R15 )
