BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASH AND CAR HESITATED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE CAR ABS LIGHT AND ALL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AND CAR DIED IN MIDDLE OF STREET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES WHERE THE VAN IGNITION TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH BEGAN APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE JUNE 2014. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL IN SEPT. 2014 (IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL L25 / NHTSA 14V-373). SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. HOWEVER, I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY VAN, BUT I DO FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARDOUS DEFECT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VAN WHEN THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS DOWN. IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A RECALL WHEN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE? *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, MAKING A TURN, AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE BRAKING STOPPED, AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT GET THE CAR TO REPEAT THE ERROR. IT DID HAVE ONE KEY FOB ERROR ON THE CODES, BUT THAT WAS MANY STARTS IN THE PAST. OTHER VIN'S IN THIS MODEL/YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO ELECTRICAL/IGNITION PROBLEMS. THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR, BUT IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL, AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. *TR
