THE CUP HOLDER DRAWER WAS PULLED OUT & THERE WERE COINS IN THE COIN TRAY. WHILE THE VAN WAS PARKED IN A MALL PARKING LOT, THE SUN SHONE THROUGH THE WINDOW AND REFLECTED OFF THE ROW OF NICKELS TOWARD THE CEILING. THERE WAS SO MUCH HEAT GENERATED THAT THE REFLECTION ACTED LIKE A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND BURNED THE CEILING CONSOLE AS WELL AS BURNED A HOLE IN THE CEILING CLOTH. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS ABOUT THE RISK OF THIS HAPPENING. FOR THAT MATTER WE HAVE HAD THE VAN ALMOST ONE YEAR AND HAVE HARDLY KEPT THE DRAWER SHUT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH CORPORATION WILL COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER THE WARRANTY.

G. THE SIDE WINDOW ON OUR MINIVAN SHATTERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE FRONT WINDOWS WERE DOWN, SO THERE WAS NOT HEAT BUILD-UP IN THE VEHICLE. THE POLICE CAME AND REPORTED THAT IT LOOKED AS IF IT HAD JUST SHATTERED OUT FROM THE INSIDE. SINCE NOBODY WAS INSIDE THE VAN, IT HAD TO HAVE HAPPENED ON ITS OWN. ALSO, WE ASKED OUR DEALER ABOUT THIS, AND HE SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PLYMOUTH VANS LIKE OURS AROUND TOWN THAT HAVE HAD THE WINDOWS JUST SHATTER ON THEIR OWN DUE TO THIS SOLAR GLASS THAT IS BEING USED. OUR DEALER ALSO SAID THAT PLYMOUTH HASN'T RECALLED ANY OF THE VEHICLES, AND I DON'T FEEL THAT IS RIGHT. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTERS HAD BEEN SITTING INSIDE WHEN IT SHATTERED..IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY. I HOPE PLYMOUTH WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. ALSO, BEING A FAMILY OF LIMITED INCOME DUE TO HIGH MEDICAL EXPENSES, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED WHEN WE INVESTED IN A NEW VEHICLE. *AK

IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME. HE EASILY COULD HAVE CHOKED ON IT. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CAR SEATS. (THE OTHER BUCKLE IS BEGINNING TO BREAK. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CHOKING HAZARD AND THEY DID NOT SEE IT TO BE A PROBLEM. IF THIS WAS A TOY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THEY ARE REPLACING THE BUCKLE WITH THE SAME BUCKLE PART IT HAD. THE SAME PROBLEM WILL OCCUR. I DO NOT WANT ANY CHILDREN, INCLUDING MY OWN TO CHOKE AND DIE. PLEASE HELP!

THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT, HOWEVER, WAS UP AGAINST THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER SENT OUT AN ENGINEER TO LOOK AT SEAT. IT WAS PINNED AGAINST THE DASHBOARD AND WILL NOT MOVE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SEAL ON THE VEHICLE FUEL RAILS TO PREVENT EXTERNAL LEAKAGE OF FUEL FROM THE FUEL RAIL CROSSOVER TUBE, SHOULD THE EXISTING O-RINGS CONTINUE TO DEGRADE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
