| Having been driving at a low speed the break in the lower arm did not cause an accident. at a higher speed the van could have rolled very easy. know ing now that you had a report on the rivets poping, i feel my life was put in danger along with my son's knowing that nothing else been brought to the attention of aerostar owners. i hope that you will contact me or tony mendez that has worked on the van . i feel that there has been accidents because of this but no one knew why. it is a design flaw that must be fixed as most people that own vans have children. thank you | |||
