This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle can be put into gear without the brake pedal being depressed. Consumer's child was able to put the vehicle in gear, almost causing an accident while parked in driveway.
I started my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and turned on the air conditioner. I opened the doors to let the heat out and my 2 1/2 year old son reached into the front seat and pulled the shifter into drive. The van shifter shifted without pushing the brake and the van ran into my chain-link fence. This is a saety issue and I do not think it was recalled. If it does not get recalled then I will trade in my vehicle for a more safe one.
