| Description of the problem | Twice in the past 7 years, the rear window of my 1994 dodge caravan exploded while driving down the road. My research on the web shows that the nhtsa has a finding against chrysler on this and chrysler was supposed to have replaced all of it's stock of inferior glass. Evidentally, this wasn't done or they still have a problem. Neither i nor my insurance company should have to pay for this type of problem.*ak the shear noise of this breakage could easily cause a reaction by the driver that could result in an accident. |
