What owners wrote
My family and I were involved in a side impact collision after sliding on black ice on a highway. We were traveling at approximately 60-65 MPH and slid into the guard rail, impacting the passenger front quarter panel, and bounced off. The passenger front tire came off of the rim forcing us into the guard rail a second time impacting the rear passenger quarter panel of the vehicle. We ricocheted off, crossed traffic and came to rest in the passing lane berm of the road near the median.
2012 dodge grand caravan front passenger headrest deployment 4 months ago. Vehicle unoccupied, in driveway. No rear-end impact [or any other] impact of any kind. Dealership quotes $822 to replace the headrest, est. $129 labor. I see class action lawsuits vs. Chrysler alleging defective design or materials. NHTSA should investigate this shoddy workmanship and cavalier attitude.
