NEVERTHELESS, BY COINCIDENCE ON 03/05/1998 I BROUGHT THE 1993 DODGE CARAVAN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ABS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DEALER DID NOT APPLY THE RECALL REMEDY AND CLAIMED THAT THE ABS WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE.*AK ON APRIL 20, 2007 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO CENTER AGAIN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ABS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A DEFECTIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLY, AND INFORMED ME ABOUT THE REFERENCED RECALL CAMPAIGN. ON JUNE 6, 2007 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE TATE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEFECT WAS REMEDIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REFERENCED CAMPAIGN. I THEN TELEPHONED CHRYSLER TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE PREVIOUS ABS DIAGNOSTIC EXPENSE AND CHRYSLER REFUSED THE REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS NOT PERFORMED AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE REIMBURSEMENT PROVISION OF THE REFERENCED CAMPAIGN DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT ANY PREVIOUS ABS EXPENSE HAD TO BE INCURRED AT AN AUTHORIZED DEALER IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

I HAVE A 93 DODGE CARAVAN SE AND I HEARD SOME NOISE COMING FROM THE ABS WHICH I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR ANTI- LOCK BRAKES. I'VE HAD THE VAN FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE BANK WITH 4 OUT OF THE 7 CHILDREN I HAVE WHEN THE ABS STOPPED WORKING WHICH MADE IT COMPLETELY HARD TO STOP. I ALMOST RAN INTO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHILE TRYING TO GET MY CHILDREN HOME SAFELY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ACCUMULATOR. NOW THE STORY HAS CHANGED AND THEY SAID ONLY THE PUMP WAS RECALLED. SO THE ABS IS NOT FIXED. I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THAT VEHICLE TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH THE ABS SYSTEM FAILING WHILE DRIVING 60 TO 70 MPH. *JB

LIFTGATE LATCHES IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES HAVE FAILED IN LOW AND MODERATE SPEED IMPACTS RESULTING IN OCCUPANT EJECTIONS, INJURIES, AND FATALITIES.THERE ARE TWO FAILURE MODES ASSOCIATED WITH LATCH FAILURE: FORK BOLT-DETENT LEVER BYPASS, AND INERTIAL UNLATCHING.NHTSA ANALYSES OF CHRYSLER AND PEER MINIVANS TOOK THE FORM OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC CRASH TESTING, ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS, COMPLAINT AND FIELD ANALYSES, AND REAL WORLD DATA ANALYSES.A TECHNICAL REPORT DISCUSSING THESE ANALYSES CAN BE FOUND IN THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS TECHNICAL REPORT IN THE PUBLIC VIEWING FILE.CHRYSLER HAS ADVISED NHTSA THAT IT WILL CONDUCT A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE LATCHES ON ALL THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.THE CHRYSLER CAMPAIGN WILL CONSIST OF NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO ALL OWNERS; FREE REPLACEMENT OF ALL LATCHES WITH STRONGER, SAFER LATCHES REGARDLESS OF THE AGE OF THE MINIVANS; NATIONAL ADVERTISING TO PROMOTE CUSTOMER AWARENESS OF THE CAMPAIGN; QUARTERLY REPORTS REGARDING CAMPAIGN COMPLETION RATES; AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO ENSURE A HIGH COMPLETION RATE, ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ACTIONS THAT NORMALLY WOULD BE TAKEN IN A FORMAL SAFETY RECALL.THESE INCLUDE FOLLOW UP WRITTEN AND TELEPHONIC NOTIFICATIONS TO OWNERS WHO DO NOT BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION.NHTSA FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT THE CRASH PERFORMANCE OF THE LATCHES ON THESE MINIVANS RAISES SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS, AND THAT THE CAMPAIGN ADDRESSES THESE CONCERNS.THE CHRYSLER CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF THE LIFTGATE LATCHES AND DECREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR INERTIAL UNLATCHING, THEREBY REDUCING THE RISK OF CRASH-RELATED OPENINGS OF THE LIFTGATE AND POSSIBLE OCCUPANT EJECTION THROUGH THE LIFTGATE OPENING.OWNERS OF CHRYSLER MINIVANS WILL GET A STRONGER, SAFER LATCH FREE OF CHARGE AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION AND COMPLEX AND TIME-CONSUMING LITIGATION WITH AN UNCERTAIN OUTCOME.BASED ON THE ABOVE, ODI IS CLOSING THIS INVESTIGATION.
