| In both cases, the back section of the driver seat collapsed backward. in the initial case, it fell back on my daughter's legs with minimal injury. i replaced the seat and all was well until the start of this year when the back again is breaking. i contacted daimler chrysler and was told in both cases that they had never had heard of this happening before. i have since read of other cases of a similar problem which seems to be a continuing safety problem with these vehicles. although there was no injury in the second case, i was driving on the freeway at peak hour at the moment and the back just collapsed to 45 degrees.*ak | |||

| I own both a 1991 and a 1995 dodge caravan... the 1991 has numerous problems, including a back hatch that won't stay up because the area of the frame that the shock latches into is broken due to a stress crack.. this makes it really hard trying to get things in and out when you have a baby.. the driver seat also falls backwards and does not stay in place. the gauges do not work, with no known cause... both these vehicles are white in color and the paint is peeling in the same exact spots on both vans. it's across the hood and across the top. all i have to say is, because of these problems - i hate my vans and probably won't ever purchase another caravan. *jb | |||
