| Description of the problem | My three young children were burnt on the exhaust pipe of our 2005 dodge grand caravan w/sto & go seats. While reaching their leg under the van, to retrieve a quarter they dropped, they each received 1st & 2nd degree burns on their legs. The coin was only a few inches under the van; you could see it by standing on the passenger side of vehicle. When standing along the passenger side of vehicle you can plainly see the exhaust pipe just several inches under the sliding side door. *nm |
