MY FOUR YEAR OLD CHILD CAN PULL THE SHOULDER HARNESS CLIP APART WITHOUT DISENGAGING (SQUEEZING) THE CLIP COMPENENTS TOGETHER. BOTH HARNESS CLIPS ON THE 2 INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS(FRONT BENCH) CAN BE PULLED APART. BOTH CLIPS WERE REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP ON 8/2/02, YET CONTINUE TO BE DEFECTIVE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT DOES IT WITH OTHER CAR SEATS THAT WERE TESTED ON LOT AND DID NOT FEEL IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. ALYSSA DESERIS, CHILD SEAT INSPECTOR FROM BUCKS COUNTY HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM INSPECTED THE SEATS AND FELT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE. SHE CAN BE REACHED AT (215) 491-9260. THE SERVICE MANAGER REPORTED CONCERN TO CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE, MIKE CANTRELL. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM CHRYSLER SINCE I MADE MY COMPLAINT WITH SERVICE MANAGER ON 8/15/02. I FEEL THE HARNESS CLIP IS A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT WILL ONLY GET WORSE WITH WEAR AND WILL EASILY COME APART ON ITS OWN. THE HARNESS CLIPS ON OTHER NON-INTEGRATED CHILD SEATS ARE LARGER AND DO NOT DISENGAGE WITHOUT SQUEEZING CLIPS TOGETHER (IE. CENTURY AND COSTCO).*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NETRAL GEAR, THEN IT CUT OFF. TRANSMISSION WENT. REPLACED TRANSMISSION, BUT PROBLEM REOCCURRED. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM.*AK

WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES TO EXIT HIGHWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VAN, DUE TO BRAKE PADS DIGGING INTO HOLES IN L & R BRAKE ROTORS.*AK
