Description of the problem	Plastic y adapter that connects the two heater core hoses began leaking as a drip onto the exhaust. The leak was so slight and random that it was tough to locate. However you could smell the antifreeze as it burns off because it comes directly into the cab. I have read that chrysler is not recalling this due to it not being a safety issue. I tend to disagree with this as inhaling antifreeze can overtime can be harmful as ingesting it is. And since this is typically a family vehicle could affect younger children greater such as my 14 month old and three older children under the age of 11. Chrysler will fix this at the dealer for a whopping $350 and to buy the part alone to dyi is $140. This is ridiculous as it can be replaced with $10 worth of parts from local auto parts store. So not only is there a problem that should be recalled due to the safety risk, but chrysler is charging way too much for the repair. I love this van, but hope this is the worst thing i have to deal with going forward. Bought the vehicle new, had all recalls done to date and plan to keep this vehicle for the next ten years. Thanks for hearing me out and for your time! Please look at this and require chrysler to recall to help out all of the people who will have this problem going forward and will go broke fixing this $5 part.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
