Consumer Description

THE CASTING ON THE HEAD THAT HOLDS THE ROCKER ASSEMBLY BROKE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW DUE TO PATTERN FAILURE. MY MECHANIC REPORTED HE HAS SEEN 4 INSTANCES OF THIS FAILURE ON DODGE VANS SINCE MINE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. HE ALSO NOTED THAT CHRYSLER CORP. IS NOW USING STUDS INSTEAD OF BOLTS TO HOLD ROCKERS.
