| Description of the problem | We drive a toyota sienna minivan that is handicapped equipped by braun corporation, as do other handicapped people around the nation. The frame of the vehicle broke without any incident because the welds by braun failed. I was told that we could have been killed. Braun acknowledged the "problem" and said there was going to be a "recall" but this needs to happen asap to avoid any injuries or death because there is no warning about these defective welds to the vehicle frame. |
