What 1994 Dodge Caravan owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving my caravan the drivers seat back, fell back. I feel this is a safety hazard. The car has not been abused. We are not too heavy. If I had been on a winding mountain road or in the process of stopping my vehicle, it could have cause a deadly accident, as it was, it was a very startling experience. I am thankful that I was going at a reasonably slow speed. I can not see any excuse for a car seat to break, like this one has. If the drivers seat broke out of the clear blue sky, I am left to wonder about being in a accident with this car. What in the world would come apart in the seat construction to cause this problem? It should never happen. The seats are not electric. There is a side arm to adjust the seat. A front arm to move the seat back and frontward. I always (until now) drive w/the seat in the most upright position. Thank you. Dt
