The 2.7 liter engine on my 1999 chrysler intrepid failed due to excessive sludge buildup. though the owner's manual states an oil change interval of 7,500 miles, i changed mine much more frequently. upon complaint to the manufacturer, they refused to offer any sort of settlement or satisfaction or even to discuss it further.  view

My son is 27 months old, 32 lbs and in a graco child safety seat purchased in 2003. he is able to easily unbuckle the buckle securing the two harness straps together at his chest. i went to purchase a different style car seat that did not have the one-hand release of the buckle but found they all were like that. this is a safety concern if he would be only partially buckled if we were in an accident. it also is quite a distraction trying to make sure he is still buckled while i'm driving and then trying to convince him to buckle up again after he has already unbuckled. while at toys r us looking for a different car seat or at least something i could cover the buckle with so he would not be able to unbuckle, the clerk told me that there have been many other parents at the store with the same problems. this style of one-handed buckle release is okay until the child figures out how easy it is for him/her to undo it.  view
