What owners wrote

I was driving my 2006 dodge grand caravan se on the night of I02/11/2014 when a wrong-way driver hit me (head on collision). She turned right to get gasoline (note: not to avoid us, did not know she was going wrong way until we hit her), and we hit her side door, tire area, and the vehicle bounced backwards. I had to push off the steering wheel to prevent my head from going thru the windshield, my father who was the passenger, hit his arm off the dashboard. The air bags did not deploy, which was the issue.

My sliding door quit working half way thru cycle. My power went dead in doors and locks I took it to the dodge dealer they could not find the problem said it was either the ECM or the bcm but not sure. They did not want to replace as they would just burn out again if this was the problem and still a short somewhere it was safe to drive.
