1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager visibility complaints

Filed May 10, 1999 · Visibility · KS

G. The side window on our minivan shattered while the vehicle was parked in our driveway. The front windows were down, so there was not heat build-up in the vehicle. The police came and reported that it looked as if it had just shattered out from the inside. Since nobody was inside the van, it had to have happened on its own. Also, we asked our dealer about this, and he said that there have been plymouth vans like ours around town that have had the windows just shatter on their own due to this solar glass that is being used. Our dealer also said that plymouth hasn't recalled any of the vehicles, and I don't feel that is right. What if my daughters had been sitting inside when it shattered..it could have been a tragedy. I hope plymouth will take care of this before someone does get seriously injured. Also, being a family of limited income due to high medical expenses, this is not what we expected when we invested in a new vehicle.

The van we purchased has integrated child car seats. The buckle flap is made of hard plastic. As we were waiting at a stoplight, my 2 year old son showed me a piece of the buckle that had broken off. It was about the size of a dime. He easily could have choked on it. I informed the dealership and was told that it was under warranty and they would replace the car seats. (the other buckle is beginning to break. I then called chrysler and told them about the choking hazard and they did not see it to be a problem. If this was a toy it would have been recalled. They are replacing the buckle with the same buckle part it had. The same problem will occur. I do not want any children, including my own to choke and die. Please help!
