EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON OUTER EDGE OF TIRES. THIRD SET OF TIRES IN 35K MILES. ALIGNMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHECKED AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN SPEC. TIRES HAVE BEEN RATED FOR 50 TO 70K MILES ONLY GETTING 15K. MAYBE THE AWD THAT IS CAUSING IT?? FRONT STRUTS WERE REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THEM AGAIN WITH NEW REAR SHOCKS (MONROE REFLEX). THIS IS THE SECOND GRAND VOYAGER. FIRST ONE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNDER THE SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS. DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION EXCEPT TO INCREASE TIRE PRESSURE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS AN ISOLATED PROBLEM OR NOT AND WHAT I CAN DO TO GET IT CORRECTED.*AK

THIS IS THE SECOND BLOW OUT OF THESE TIRES AND ONE FLAT TIRE SINCE BOUGHT . THE FIRST BLOW OUT WAS STRIAGHT ACROSS THE TOP OF THE "W" IN WINSTON TIRE LOGO TWO WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE SET. I WAS DRIVE THRU A CONSTRUCTION SITE. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WENT THRU A SMALL POT HOLE , THE REAR TIRE JUST WENT FLAT. IT WAS A SATURDAY MORNING AND THE WINSTON DEALER DID NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE TIRE DID NOT GET ME IN WEDENSDAY AT THE SOONEST. THEY WOULD ROAD HAZARD THE TIRE,I FEEL THIS WAS A BAD TIRE. THEY WANTED TO SELL ME ANOTHER ROAD HAZARD. WHILE ON A TRIP TO MONTANA AND BACK TO PHOINEX AZ. A PEICE OF MONTANA ROAD SAND WHEN THE FACE OF ONE OF THE TIRES (THEY STILL HAVE NOT PAID THE FLAT REPAIR). WHILE THERE I ASKED THEM TO GIVE ME THEIR OPION OF THESE TIRES. THEIR ANSWER WAS NOT DRIVE ON GRAVEL AT ALL AND DON'T HIT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN A PIECE OF GRAVEL. THE LAST BLOWOUT WAS WHILE TRYING TO DO A U-TURN. I HAD TO PULL UP ON TO THE CURVE. IT BLOWOUT AS SOON TIRE TOUCHED THE CURB. I KNOW MY SPEED WAS LESS THAN 15MPH. FOR I DID NOT TO DO A FRONT END ALINEMENT. THE PLACE WHERE THIS TIRE BLOW OUT WAS THE SAME AS THE OTHER. IN THE PAST YEARS NOW MY OWN RIGS I HAVE HAD TWO BLOW OUTS, ONE RUNNING OVER A RAILROAD SPIKE AND THE OTHER A STICK THUR SIDE WALL. I HAVE ALSO WORKED IN A TIRE SHOPS BEFORE AND DID ALMOST ALL MY OWN TIRES WHILE DRIVING LOG TRUCKS IN MONTANA FOR SEVEN YEARS. FOR THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I TALKING ABOUT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: WNS19018 TIRESIZE: 205/70/15)

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH 2-SPOKE LUXURY WHEELS MANUFACTURED JULY 1992 THROUGH JUNE 1993; OR EQUIPPED WITH 4-SPOKE SPORT WHEELS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 1992 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1993. THE STEERING WHEEL ARMATURE STAMPING CAN CRACK AND SEPARATE FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE STEERING WHEEL SEPARATES FROM THE CENTER HUB ATTACHMENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN, LOSS OF CONTROL CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR CRACKS AND ANY WHEELS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL HAVE A REINFORCEMENT PLATE INSTALLED TO PREVENT STEERING WHEEL SEPARATION IN THE EVENT CRACKING OCCURS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE BOLTS USED TO ATTACH THE STRUT TO THE BODY AND THE REAR LIFTGATE CAN ACCUMULATE FATIGUE DAMAGE IF THREE FACTORS COMBINE. IF THE BOLT IS LOOSE, THE GAS STRUT IS OVER-PRESSURIZED, AND THE FREQUENCY OF OPENING AND CLOSING CYCLES IS HIGHER THAN FOR THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER, THE BOLT CAN FAIL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR IF THE BOLTS BREAK ALLOWING THE LIFTGATE TO FALL SUDDENLY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR LOOSE FASTENERS, IF THE FASTENERS ARE LOOSE, THE STRUT (AND INTEGRAL BOLTS) WILL BE REPLACED. IF THE BOLT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF TORQUE, THE BOLT WILL BE REMOVED, LARGER WASHERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING WASHER AND THE BOLT WILL BE REINSTALLED AND HAND TIGHTENED TO THE TARGET TORQUED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE WIRING THAT INITIATES THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD ELECTRICALLY SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND. A SHORT CIRCUIT TO GROUND THAT EXISTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "ON" OR "START" POSITION CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG(S) TO INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAN INJURE A FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL PERFORM AN ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. ANY SHORT CIRCUITS IDENTIFIED IN EITHER THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INITIATOR WIRE CIRCUIT WILL BE REPAIRED.
WHEELS WITH MISFORMED LUG NUT SEATS WERE INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. THIS CAUSES REDUCED NUT TO WHEEL CONTACT AREA AND LIMITS THE WHEEL SELF-CENTERING CAPABILITY DURING INSTALLATION. THIS RESULTS IN LOSS OF WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE RETENTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOSS OF LUG NUT TORQUE RETENTION MAY LEAD TO WHEEL LUGFAILURE WHICH MAY CAUSE WHEEL SEPARATION AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: INSPECT THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY PLANT CODE; REPLACE WHEELS KNOWN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND INSTALL NEW LUG NUTS.

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.
