1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2019

Rear trailing arm broke loose from the chassis. 2 bolts sheared off on right side 2 were missing and left side two were missing and the other 2 were loose. The whole right side of the rear end was hanging down. This happened while in town at low speed fortunately as in a few minutes I would have been on the highway at 55 mpr. Grandkids were in the car. It was totally undriveable and I had to have it towed. Having read online there are several others that have had the same issue. I wonder how many major accidents or fatalities have occured on Chrysler or Dodge minivans because of this condition. This van has less than 40k miles.
