| This is not a safety hazard but, did not know where to write. it is the paint & the air conditioner. it has been told to me that in 89 vehicles did not receive primer and therefore caused paint to chip. i went to the dealer and was told they were not aware of this but to passify me they would allow 200 to spot paint my van and i would pay 200 at maaco. not there dealership shop but maaco and to only allow spot painting. i had already paid to have the hood and front fenders painted because it was so bad and the roof is now horrible! i am the original owner and feel it is only right they paint the van and get it over with! i have complained for the past five or more years about the van stalling out if i use my air conditioner but none of the dodge dealers can or will find any problem so i suffer in the heat. if i use the a/c and when i reach my destination and shut it off even if i let it sit overnight the van will stall out.please forward to proper people and let me know if anything will be done about these two problems. i am not trying to make money only want comfort . i plan on buying another dodge probably in the next two to three years as other than the afore mentioned irratations i have enjoyed my van and gotten a lot of use out of it and want to keep it!*ak | |||

| There is a defect in the paint application of my vehicle. as a result the finish on my car has deteriorated gradually since early in the life of my car. it is now at the point that it is covered with some type of peeling film and has a dull finish. i found evidence that this was a defect and therefore i feel that the manufacturer should repaint my car free of charge. also the air conitioning has never really worked satisfactory and i have incurred about $1000 in repair bills to try to correct it and it still does not work. according to certain consumer reports vehicles like mine have been rated for air conditioning and paint problems. i feel the mfr. should remedy this situation. | |||

| This problem seems very dangerous, i would not want to be driving a behind anyone and finding their spare tire gave away. this incident was the result of a frayed cable not a loose connection. i got another spare at the junk yard and verified other accounts of frayed cable assemblies. i do not know if this could be more popular? | |||
