SUSPENSION
I FIRST HAD TO HAVE FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED AT 79,000 MILES OCT 2012, NOW THEY ARE BAD AGAIN AT 127,000 MILES. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A SET OF WHEEL BEARINGS ON A VEHICLE LET ALONE TWO TIMES IN THIS SHORT OF DISTANCE,"MILES". CHRYSLER WON'T REPLACE THEM BUT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETINS SAYING THEY WILL BUT IT DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT MY VIN # SO I'M OUT OF LUCK TO OVER $1000 TO FIX IT MYSELF. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY BRIDGE CHANGING LANES WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC TO INSIDE WALLED LANE AROUND A SLIGHT TURN,WHEN THE VAN FELT LIKE IT LOST TRACTION IN THE FRONT RIGHT ;AND SLIGHTLY SPED UP.I DROVE ALONG THE EDGE OF THE WALL,SAFELY TRYING TO REDUCE SPEED AND PULL OFF THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY I MANAGED TO ONLY GLANCE AND SCRAPE THE WALL CAUSED MILD BODY DAMAGE ;DEEP SCRAPS AND DENTS.WHEN I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY,I HAD A TRASHED FRONT RIGHT TIRE,HALF A RIM AND EXTENSIVE STEERING COMPONENT DAMAGE.I THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THE TIRE WAS LOW,WITH NO INDICATION OF IT,BUT WHAT SCARED ME WAS THE ACCELERATION INCREASE OF UP TO 10+ MPH.THE ROAD THERE JUST IN THAT AREA WAS DARK AND I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT CAUSED RT FRONT WHEEL TO LOSE GROUND CONTACT,;I.E A TRUCK RETREAD OR A ROLLED UP CARPET,BUT THE POLICE FOUND NOTHING IN THE ROADWAY,THE TEMP WAS IN THE HIGH 30'S,NO ICE......WATER AND I HAD $6500 IN DAMAGE.I HAVE BASIC STEEL RIMS,PLASTIC CAPS. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEED ON BUMPY SURFACES OR AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. THIS RESULTED IN AND EMERGENCY EXIT FROM THE LANE OF TRAVEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF A CURRENT RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH ON SIMILAR VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL. DODGE MAKES NO ATTEMPT TO ASSIST WITH VERIFYING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS THAT ARE BECOMING MUCH MORE FREQUENT ALMOST DAILY WITH CAR NOT STARTING WHEN THE KEY FOB IS TURNED. KEY FOB SEEMS LOOSE AND TURNS EASILY BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE TO TURN BACK TO OFF, PULL FOB OUT, PLACE BACK IN, TRY TO RESTART, USUALLY MULTIPLE TIME AND USUALLY BY ABOUT THE 10TH TIME THE PLANETS ALIGN AND IT STARTS AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THANKFULLY IT WOULD NOT START FOR THEM AND THEN IT FINALLY DID. THEY SAID THAT THE WIRELESS ELECTRIC IGNITION NODE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL ISSUE WITH THE KEY FOB AND PUTTING TO MUCH STUFF ON THE KEY CHAIN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
USING CRUISE CONTROL: UPON HITTING RESUME, VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY TO ABOUT 10 MPH MORE THAT THE EXPECTED RECENT CRUISE SPEED, THEN CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF. WHEN I TURNED CRUISE BACK ON, THE LIGHT INDICATED IT WAS ACTIVE, BUT PRESSING THE SET BUTTON MADE THE CRUISE TURN BACK OFF. ONLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY COULD I GET CRUISE TO WORK AGAIN, BUT ONCE AGAIN, UPON USING THE RESUME BUTTON, RAPID ACCELERATION TO AT LEAST 10MPH MORE THAT LAST CRUISE SPEED, THEN CRUISE SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. AND THEY JUST REPORTED THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOR DO THEY HAVE A SOLUTION. I ASKED THEM TO CONTACT CHRYSLER ENGINEERS TO SEE IF THERE WAS A SUGGESTION, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER SCARY UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION EPISODE AGAIN. NOR DO I WANT TO HAVE TO DRIVE FROM INDIANA TO SOUTH CAROLINA WITH BENEFIT OF CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN. ANOTHER SYMPTOM IS THAT THE DTE DISPLAY FAILED TO DROP BELOW 40 AFTER THE GAS FUEL LIGHT CAME ON - IN FACT, THE FARTHER I DROVE WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON, THE DTE EVEN ADVANCED TO 41 AND 42! ALMOST RAN OUT OF FUEL BECAUSE I WAS RELYING ON THE DTE DISPLAY. *TR

ENGINE
PULLED ONTO LEMAY FERRY ROAD FROM FORDER ROAD (63129) AT THE LIGHT. AS SOON AS I GOT ONTO LEMAY FERRY RD. GOING SLOW IN TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE CUT OUT AND DIED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. I HAD NO EXTRA KEYS ON WITH THE KEYFOB AND NOTHING BUMPED THE IGNITION. THERE WAS NOT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2009 AND HAS BEEN REPORTED REPEATEDLY TO CHRYSLER SINCE THAT TIME. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOW A RECALL, THE PARTS ARE APPARENTLY UNAVAILABLE AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST FOR REPAIR WITH THE DEALER SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS WAY TO HANDLE THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. OBVIOUSLY, CHRYSLER IS NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT US. IT ALSO HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN THE DARK LAST FALL WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY DID BUMP THE FOB WHILE SCRATCHING A MOSQUITO BITE ON MY KNEE. RIDICULOUS!!!! DANGEROUS!! LAWSUITS!!! *TR
