1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2009

Upon closing of drivers side door on 2005 Dodge grand Caravan the glass on the rear door shattered and sent glass flying all the way to the front of the van. The van was not running or moving. The van was not involved in any accidents or unusual use since it was purchased new by me in may of 2005. If van had been moving and had passengers in rear of van, this incident could have caused injury. Dealer and Chrysler were contacted and were nit aware of any other problems of this nature.

2 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2008

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Caravan. While driving 30 mph, the rear driver side window shattered. On a separate occasion, while the vehicle was parked, a neighbor informed the contact that her rear window appeared to be cracking. The rear window shattered. She paid to have the window repaired during the first failure and feels that this second incident should be covered by the manufacturer because it is a safety defect. The failure mileage was 39,000 and current mileage was 40,000. Updated 06/16/08.
