Consumer Description

MY DODGE CARAVAN HAS 47,000 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT AND IS TWO YEARS OLD. I JUST BROUGHT IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A NEW HEAD GASKET. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THAT HE HAS SEEN AT LEAST TWENTY OTHER CASES OF THIS PROBLEM IN CARS WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS IS WORTHY OF REVIEW FOR A RECALL IF IT CAN BE ASSUMED THAT EVERY MECHANIC HAS SEEN TWENTY SUCH INSTANCES. *AK
