1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2010

We had a snow storm on 2/6/10. After the snow fall my husband moved our 2006 Grand Caravan sxt from the driveway to the street to clean the driveway. While talking to a neighbor the rear glass popped and shattered into a million pieces. There were no cars that passed and may have kicked up debris causing this incident. Also the glass was clear of snow and ice. The only thing I can think of is that the car was parked in the shade and then my husband parked it in the sun. Perhaps the cold weather caused this? I called Dodge to see if there was a recall but there was none.

2 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the rear window (vent window) on the left side blew off of the vehicle and almost caused a crash to occur. Prior to the failure, a passenger noticed that the window looked as if it were open although it was closed. He took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that they could not assist him with a free repair. The manufacturer has not been notified. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 43,464.

3 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2007

My husband was driving our 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan on the highway when the driver's-side, rear window blew into the car. It concerns us because, as a parent, one of my children could have been sitting in the third row and would have been seriously injured. Thankfully it did not cause an accident to which the actual cause (of a "broken window") would have never been realized. I am not sure whether this is a safety defect or an anomaly, but I would like my complaint to be recorded based upon these concerns. The window was replaced, and is not available as the window shattered.
