There's some shady stuff going on. What they should do is test the mini-vans and see if they don't comply with federal mandate. If that's the case then it's true that Chrysler should be at fault. This is a law and if any of the accusations towards Chrysler were true (which it sounds like there were) then they should be held accountble. I'd still go after the person that slammed into the back of the mini-van, he doesn't get off that easy!
I voted no but I wasn't in court so I don't have all the facts.
Think about it and re-read the post slowely about how ALL their minivans are failing this federal mandated requirement.... that's something seriously fubar and unfair to other automanufactures that are spending $$$$$$$$ to meet these federal mandates. Chrysler has some criminals in their firm if they truely did fire Sheridan for the reasons stated.
Should we all be driving tanks and speed limits limited to 20mph? No, but should the mini-van be able to CLAIM that it meets federal mandate when it doesn't, NO. Just because they were going 70mph doesn't mean anything. I think the case would have been stronger against Chrysler if they had picked a family that had been effected at a lower speed collision. Does anybody know what speed the mini-vans are tested at?
