What owners wrote
On sat, 07-30-2005, my three children(ages 9, 7, 5) each received 1st & 2nd degree burns on their legs (and went to the local emergency room) while reaching under our 2005 dodge grand caravan w/ sto & go seating. Apparently the exhaust pipe runs just below the rear passenger door.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was maneuvered off the road and restarted. This occurred on three occasions. The vehicle was driven to the dealer each time however; the problem could not be duplicated.
