On Thursday October 13, I was getting an item from back of my car. I hit my head on the hanging T.V. I went in to my work and we called a family member who took me into my dr. Office. I had a cut on top of my head and they had to put staples on top of my head...by Sunday, I was in such pain, I went in to see the doctor on Monday which they sent me to the hospital for a scan test on my head...I end up having post concussion and I miss 7 days of work....my biggest concern is for my grandkids, they could gotten very hurt on the T.V..sharp corner...I am going to ask my son to tape the T.V.S up so no one else can get hurt. Yes, I do have a lot of pain, but it could have been worse...

Multiple problems with 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SE, van was special ordered at advantage Chrysler Jeep and Dodge, des plaines il from factory with mygig ves, we took delivery on Feb 2008, our sales guy quit before we even got the van. Sad. _____________ first problem was within first 6 mos. Loud whistle noise coming from windshield on warm and hot days at 60+ mph, dealer resealed but problem still same. __________________ brakes had to be redone after 14,000. This is a common problem, judging by all of the complaints, I was even more pissed off after getting a $500 bill and a dopey explanation from the shop manager at advantage Chrysler Jeep and Dodge. We took it in for a break inspection, they did all the work without checking with me first. _________________ the next thing to stop working was the passenger side sliding door auto lock. It no longer responds to electric or remote switch. We have to lock and unlock manually. They suspected a harness but did not have one in stock, 2 months for delivery of part, I had no time to go back. _________________ just recently Oct 2009 during a rain storm, the wipers stopped to function in any position, the wipers were turned on while the car was running, had to pull over shut off/on, then they worked fine. __________________ spouse also reported that radio stopped working, no audio or video temporarily, it also started to work after turning off then on of the key. _________________ we are '!@#$% at Chrysler / Dodge for putting out a car like that. We buy only american built cars to support our economy, and we get '!@#$% with countless repair bills. Get tour stuff together Chrysler / Dodge!!!!!!!

I am writing about what I feel was a severe airbag malfunction. I was in a crash that was high enough impact to total my rental vehicle...smash the front windshield, and turn the front end of the vehicle into an accordion; moreover, the accident could have ended my life. I escaped with torn muscles in my shoulders, hairline cracks in my front teeth and a broken collar bone. As the driver, I am highly suspicious about the airbags not deploying in such a high impact incident. The incident occurred when a motorist ran a redlight and ran into the front drivers side of my vehicle. Where all the other motorist in the accident had airbags deploy, the police and emergency crews were amazed that the vehicle did not respond differently in the accident.
