What owners wrote

My daughter had a size one soccer ball roll under our 2005 chrysler town and country minivan last night (8/11/05). She stuck her leg under the car, under the passenger side sliding door, to kick the ball back out and came into contact with the exhaust pipe that runs directly under the door. I then reached under to get the ball for her and burned my wrist on the same pipe. Our burns were second degree. Mine was small but hers was 4 inches long by 1-1/2 inches wide on her left thigh.

August 2005 Injury

After filling up gas tank, vehicle stalls and jerks. A little while later, it may shut down entirely or the vehicle may stall again while pressing the accelerator. Vehicle has shut down on major road and stalled badly on main highway.
