What is wrong: Vehicle description: mini vans. The bolts used to attach the strut to the body and the rear liftgate can accumulate fatigue damage if three factors combine. If the bolt is loose, the gas strut is over-pressurized, and the frequency of opening and closing cycles is higher than for the average customer, the bolt can fail.
Risk: Personal injury could occur if the bolts break allowing the liftgate to fall suddenly.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect for loose fasteners, if the fasteners are loose, the strut (and integral bolts) will be replaced. If the bolt shows evidence of torque, the bolt will be removed, larger washers will replace the existing washer and the bolt will be reinstalled and hand tightened to the target torqued.

Tl*the contact owns a 1994 chrysler town and country. The sliding door is currently being held onto the vehicle by one out of three hinges. The door has to be pushed very hard in order for it to close. In addition, the rear wiper does not work and the motor needs to be replaced. The contact has decided not to repair the vehicle. When he places the vehicle into drive, it takes a while to shift. The vehicle makes a thumping sound when it does shift into gear. The air conditioner has not worked since the vehicle was purchased. The all wheel drive makes a clunking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. On a hot day, the gears skip as if they are not gripping properly in the rear of the vehicle. The current mileage was 135,000 and failure mileage was 116,000.

I read in the news that d.o.t. Is considering spending hundreds of billions of dollars to raise the (concrete) median barriers on the hundreds of thousands of miles of the federal highway system...due to the large number of fatalities caused by raised-up pickup truck and sport utility vehicle accidents with normal passenger cars. I submit that perhaps it is time to go back to the legislation considered ten to fifteen years ago ordering manufacturers to set
