SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
THIS VAN DIES WHILE IN OPERATION, MOST OFTEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MILES OF DRIVING IN THE MORNING. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN DECELERATING (UPON TAKING OUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, THE TACHOMETER BOUNCES WAY DOWN (~500RPM OR SO), THEN STUTTERS A BIT, THEN THE VEHICLE STALLS/DIES. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION SEVERAL TIMES, AND WE NARROWLY ESCAPED A COLLISION. WE HAVE HAD 2 KEY FOB RECALLS PERFORMED, AS CHRYSLER HAD ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO FAULTY FOBS/IGNITION SWITCHES....THE MOST RECENT RECALL WAS PERFORMED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. NO CHANGE WAS NOTED AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE PROBLEM RARELY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, ALTHOUGH IT DID HAPPEN TO MY WIFE LAST WEEK WHILE SHE WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I'M LISTING TODAY'S DATE IN THE FIELD OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?", AS IT DID HAPPEN TO ME TODAY WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION, TURNING LEFT - I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT, NARROWLY MISSING THE CAR TO MY RIGHT WHICH WAS ALSO TURNING LEFT...BUT IT HAPPENS VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY NOW.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
A FEW WEEK AGO, IN THE MORNING WHEN ME AND THE WIFE HAD JUST DROPPED ONE OF OUR CHILDREN OFF AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, GOT BACK INTO THE CAR, TURNED IT ON AND STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY; THE CAR DID A HARD JERK MOTION AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. SO THE NEXT I TOOK OUR VAN TO FIRESTONE BECAUSE CAUSE MY ABS, BRAKE, ESP AND OTHER BREAKING INFORMATION LIGHTS CAME AND THEIR WAS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE FROM DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN FIRESTONE TECH FOUND THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT DODGE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. SO FOR A SMALL PART THAT HELPS WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN AND WIFE I PAID 675 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND AT THIS DATE AND TIME MY VAN IS NOW SETTING AT TRANSMISSION SHOP SO THAT I CAN FIND OUT IF THE ABS GOING OUT SOME HOW DID SOMETHING TO MY TRANSMISSION.
