Engine developed a massive high pressure oil leak causing near flame conditions, loss of oil and possible engine damage. Vehicle was diagnosed at independent repair facility. The difficulty is defective cylinder head/ cylinder head gasket failure spraying a mist of hot oil onto the hot catalytic converter and remaining exhaust system. Vaporized oil subjected to these conditions can explode violently. The vehicle has been placed out of service. The cost of repairs (new engine) exceeds the value of the vehicle. Research proved Chrysler corporation has known of this problem since prior to 1994 and has attempted to patch the problem rather than repair it correctly in thousands of cases to date. My contentions is the Chrysler corporation knowing sold me an unsafe defective vehicle to me and many others.

On January 27, 2005, while driving on a local interstate, the axle broke, rack and pinion, and the cv joints and boots on my 2002 Dodge Caravan which was purchased new, which almost caused a horrible accident and great bodily harm to my wife who was driving, our children ages 6yrs and 4yrs, and other traveling vehicles in her path. In addition to this the vehicle has a gas exhaust problem. Diamlerchrysler supposedly repaired the exhaust problem by replacing the catalystic converter in Aug 2004 but the engine light stays on constantly, the axle was repaired on 2/2005 but not the other problems mentioned above.

There was a smell in the vehicle. The dealer stated there was nothing they could do because the vehicle was not a demo. A certified mechanic found over 26 different types of mold in the vehicle and offered a strip cleaning of the entire interior. However the smell had come back, especially when the heater was blowing.

While driving, smoke entered the cabin which was caused by the head gasket blowing out and leaking oil onto the exhaust pipe and catalytic converter. The mechanic replaced the head gasket. The manufacturer redesigned an upgraded the head gasket. The van had 4 cylinders, and 2. 4 liter engine. The fumes and smoke made the consumer and his wife sick. (sinus and coughing which existed two weeks after).
