Consumer Description

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A NICE VACATION (UNTIL THIS HAPPENED)WITH SON AND GRANDKIDS WE WERE GETTING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY (THANK GOD IT HAPPEN BEFORE ENTERING HIGHWAY THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE FELL APART CAUSED A FIRE AS WELL. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. A LADY THAT SAW THIS HAPPENED WAS BLOWING HORN TO MAKE US STOP. I SAW THE SMOKE WE PULLED OVER GOT THE KIDS OUT CALLED 911. A MAN FROM THE HOTEL GRABBED FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. VAN HAD TO BE TOWED. IT COST ME 400.00 FOR THE REPAIR AND HAD TO STAY IN A HOTEL FOR 2 MORE NIGHTS. MY SON HAD TO GET A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE HOME TO GET BACK TO WORK. THE GARAGE SAID HE'S NEVER SAW THIS HAPPEN. I READ THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A 2006 DODGE CARAVAN AS WELL. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE 06 AND 07 CARAVANS? HAS THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS ABOUT THIS OR ARE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!!!!!!!
