DRAIN PLUG IS CROSS THREADED AND STRIPPED OUT. OIL CHANGE PLACE SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY CHYSLER MINI VANS AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH THREE RELATED ARTICLES THAT SUPPORT THE FACXT THAT THE DRAIN PLUGS HAVE TOO SHORT THREADS WHICH CASUSES THEM TO STRIP OUT EASILY AFTER NORMAL OIL CHANGE USE. THIS WILL END UP COSTING ME OVER $200!! THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT I HAVE TO BUY A NEW OIL PAN, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE SAME SO THIS WILL UNDOUBTLY HAPPEN AGAIN THE NEXT TIME I GET MY OIL CHANGED A FEW TIMES. IF THIS IS NOTED AND HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED MANY TIMES WHY HASN'T THIS PROBLEM BEEN FIXED VIA A RECALL?? THE EASY FIX ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLES IS TO SIMPLY INSTALL A LONGER DRAIN PLUG WITH LONGER THREADS. PLEASE ADVISE WHERE I CAN GO FROM HERE. I AM ONLY LEASING THIS VEHICLE AND EVEN BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTLY, BUT THIS IS CRAP!*AK

FAILURE OF THIS PART CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AT 45 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER DID NOT READ. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. DEALER STATED THAT THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. I PURCAHSED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH COVERS POWERTRAIN, ELECTRICAL AND STANDARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS SENSOR WAS NOT COVERED, EVENTHOUGH IT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I PAID $130 FOR REPAIR. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGHWAY SPEED I SHUDDER TO THINK HOW THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE REACTED, SINCE THE SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER'S SERVICE REP SAID THAT THIS PART DID NOT USUALLY FAIL, BUT THAT IN THE PAST MONTH THEY HAD REPLACED MORE THAN USUAL. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 7 MONTHS AND IT HAS ALREADY LEFT ME STRANDED. OVERALL, MY DEALER AND SERVICE REP WERE VERY POLITE AND FRIENDLY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR EXPERT OPINION ABOUT THIS INCIDENT.

ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HUB OF THE STEERING WHEEL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL COVERED VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 12, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, SOME TRIM MATERIAL CAN LOOSEN AND DROP INTO THE REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO BECOME INOPERATIVE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE TRIM WITH FOAM BLOCKERS AND INSPECT AND REPLACE ALL 3RD ROW SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 3, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT WITH 3.3L AND 3.8L ENGINES HAVE FUEL RAILS WITH NITROLE RUBBER O-RING SEALS THAT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS BUILT FOR FLEET SALES ONLY. THE HEADLAMP MODULE DOES NOT IDENTIFY THE PARK LAMP AS "DRL" AS REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108.
Remedy: ALL FLEET OWNERS/OPERATORS WILL BE MAILED NON-REMOVABLE DECALS WITH THE REQUIRED "DRL" LETTERS.
