MY WIFE IS HANDICAPPED. I OWN A LOWERED FLOOR MINIVAN WITH A RAMP FOR WHEELCHAIR ACCESS. VANTAGE MOBILITY INTERNATIONAL ("VMI"), 5202 SOUTH 28TH PLACE, PHOENIX, AZ 85040, (602) 243-2700 DID THE CONVERSION OF MY 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TO MAKE IT HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE ("RAMP VAN"). DODGE/CHRYSLER ("DODGE") WORKS WITH VMI AND A DODGE DEALER IN TEMPE ARIZONA TO SELL RAMP VANS NATIONWIDE THROUGH A DEALER NETWORK. RAMP VANS ARE SOLD THROUGH LOCAL DEALERS WHO PROVIDE BOTH WARRANTY AND NON WARRANTY SERVICE FOR THE CONVERSION ELEMENTS OF THE RAMP VANS. LOCAL DODGE DEALERS PROVIDE NON-CONVERSION WARRANTY AND NON-WARRANTY SERVICE. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR EACH TO POINT THE FINGER AT THE OTHER CONCERNING ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AIR BAG DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT ONLY OPERATES INTERMITENTLY. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO BOTH VISION DODGE (920 PANORAMA TRAIL SOUTH, ROCHESTER, NY 14625, (585) 385-5700, AND AUTOCRAFTING 72 HINCHEY ROAD, ROCHESTER, NY 14624 ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR REPAIRS TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. AUTOCRAFTING REPORTED THAT VMI WAS INVOLVED IN TROUBLESHOOTING THE PROBLEM. BETWEEN VISION DODGE AND AUTOCRAFTING THERE HAVE BEEN 3 OR 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. VISION DODGE CHARGED ME SUBSTANTIAL COSTS FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NEITHER DODGE NOR VMI HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE AIR BAG FAILURE AND THE INABILITY OF DODGE AND VMI TO FIX IT INDICATES A MAJOR DESIGN FAILURE IN AN ESSENTIAL AND LEGALLY REQUIRED SAFETY SYSTEM. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM GOES ON AND OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AS REPORTED BY THE VEHICLE'S WARNING LIGHTS. WHOEVER IS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS AT SERIOUS RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY SHOULD THE VAN BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING. OCCURRED 12/2015 AND FROM OCTOBER 2016 TO DATE.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MECHANICAL ISSUES (ELECTRICAL?) INCLUDING SLIDING DOORS THAT DO NOT WORK ANYMORE (THEY MUST BE CLOSED MANUALLY). BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM I WANT TO REPORT IS RUST. UNDER THE WHEELWELLS, UNDER THE SLIDING DOORS, ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUNK HATCH DOORS... IT'S RUSTING APART. FOR A 2007 VEHICLE THIS IS QUITE EXCESSIVE. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT OTHER DODGE GRAND CARAVANS OF THE SAME MARINE BLUE GREEN COLOR HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. HAS THIS BEEN INVESTIGATED? RUSTING APART... AND IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. YOU WOULD THINK A VEHICLE WOULDN'T START TO HAVE NOTICEABLE AND PERVASIVE RUST IN 7 OR 8 YEARS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE IT.

DP14002 · Engine Stall After Refueling

Opened Sep 5, 2014 · Closed Apr 6, 2015

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly

This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.NHTSA evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300
