I purchased a handicap accessible van with a lowered floor. The rear leaf springs are attached to the frame with brackets. These brackets are lower than the floor leaving about 3.25 to 3.5 inches of clearance to the road. I consider this low clearance as a potential safety hazard and it will also prevent access to a driveway where the vehicle is to be used. Are there regulations or laws governing van conversion road clearance?

I own a 2003 chrysler town & country that I purchased new in oct. Of 2003 from mortiz in fort worth, texas. Since purchasing this van it has been used for mostly long distance trips and has been serviced regularly. At the end of january 2007 my transmission solenoid pack started leaking. On feb. 15, 2007 I bought a new solenoid pack from madison square chrysler in huntsville, alabama. I installed this item myself being that all that was involved was unbolting the old one and installing the new one. On feb. 20, 2007 with mileage of 87918 I had the transmission fluid flushed by the above mentioned dealer as well as oil change and maintenance checks. On feb. 28, 2007 the check engine light came on. I returned to the dealer on march 1, 2007 with mileage of 87990 for another round of service costing $1033.42. On april 21, 2007 with mileage of 89955 I had complete transmission failure with my two children in the van. I have not taken any action at this time to get this resolved because I cannot afford to pay for a new or rebuilt transmission.

Rear hatch would lock - but not be secured. Several times, during acceleration, rear hatch would open - exposing occupants to outside - as well as forcing driver to stop vehicle in high speed areas (especially freeway on-ramps). Two previous notifications to the dealership were of no help. Finally fixed end december 2004. Driver's power window failed completely. Two trips to dealership (for what was intermittent at time) gave me a silicone grease that I am still wiping off the window every time that I use. Finally fixed december 2004. Also, experiencing the much mentioned noises from the front end. The power steering noise (dealer says normal) and a crunching / clicking sound that sounds like a bad cv joint or at least a broken suspension piece. Unresolved as of picking up from dealer today. Chrysler service is not very impressive. I have never dealt with a car company that could explain away so many abnormalities as being normal.
