Side/rear Glass problem #1

Twice in the past 7 years, the rear window of my 1994 Dodge Caravan exploded while driving down the road. My research on the web shows that the NHTSA has a finding against Chrysler on this and Chrysler was supposed to have replaced all of it's stock of inferior glass. Evidentally, this wasn't done or they still have a problem. Neither I nor my insurance company should have to pay for this type of problem. The shear noise of this breakage could easily cause a reaction by the driver that could result in an accident.

Wiper problem #2

When driving down the interstate at 60mph the windshield wipers turned on all by themselves and would not shut off even when we stopped and turned the van conpletely off they were still going. Everything was positioned on off there was no power on in the van at all.
