I WAS LEAVING CHURCH ON 6-11-00 AND HAD 5 OTHER PASSANGERS IN THE CAR. THE LAST PASSANGER INTO THE CAR WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY CLOSING THE SLIDING DOOR SO I GOT OUT TO DO IT. THE DOOR WAS INDEED DIFFICULT TO CLOSE AND AS I MANAGED TO GET THE DOOR ALMOST CLOSED, IT FELL OFF OF THE TRACKING AND LANDED ON MY FEET.

#715886 | December 10, 1999

THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR BASICALLY FELL OFF. THE DOOR WAS NOT ABUSED, JUST NORMAL WEAR. MY WIFE WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR AND IT FELL OFF. (ONLY THING KEEPING IT OFF THE GROUND WAS ONE BENT HINGE. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED IT. THE DEALER WOULD NOT ADMIT TO MANUFACTURE FAULT. HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO LOWER THE BILL TO FIX THE DOOR FROM $303 TO $133. I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, CAUSED BY A STRUCTURAL DESIGN FLAW IN THE SLIDING DOOR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN THE NHTSA DATABASE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. DODGE, CHRYSLER, AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE COSTS.
