SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS (50 DEGREES F, NO RAIN/SNOW), THE OPERATOR NOTICED A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. UPON SCANNING THE DASH, THE EPS (STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHTS WAS ILLUMINATED. A FEW SECONDS (MAYBE 5 - 15) LATER, THE POWER BREAKING APPEARED TO BE LOST. OPERATOR IS UNSURE IF THESE FUNCTIONS WERE "SIMPLY" LOST, OR IF THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY POWERED DOWN. STEERING AND BREAKING WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO THE EXTENT THAT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PHYSICALLY CONTROL THE VEHICLE ENOUGH TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HITTING ANY OBJECTS. EVEN BRAKING WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DO WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE. AFTER GETTING SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE ENGINE WAS IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CAR WAS RE-STARTED AND APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, ALTHOUGH OPERATOR WAS UNWILLING TO RISK PUTTING CAR INTO "DRIVE". CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEED, OR WHEN A QUICK STOP WAS NECESSARY, A SEVERE CRASH LIKELY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

LAST MAY 7, 2014, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM CHRYSLER, I VISITED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART, AND AS SOON AS THEY WILL RECEIVE IT THEY WILL LET ME KNOW. TIME PASS BY AND I RECEIVED A SECOND SAFETY RECALL, AT THAT TIME I NEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIR AND ASKED FOR THE PART, THEY DID NOT HAVE IT YET. THEY DISABLE THE REAR QUARTER VENT WINDOWS TO AVOID PROBLEMS. THEY ASKED ME TO CALL PARTS DEPT. TO FIND OUT WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE FAMOUS PART. IS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND NOTHING IS BEEN SOLVED. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT? IS THAT PART SO DIFFICULT TO FIND? *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR, WAS APPROACHING A LEFT TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A SIDE STREET AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. SHE TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN WITH THE CAR IN PARK, WITH THE KEY FOB, AND IT DID START AGAIN. PRIOR TO THIS, WHEN STARTING THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, SEVERAL TIMES IT WOULD START AND TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY. I THOUGHT IT HADN'T GOTTEN ENOUGH GAS TO KEEP GOING SO I JUST STARTED IT AGAIN. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE IGNITION SWITCH SNAPPING OUT OF THE START POSITION AT THAT TIME AS WELL. *TR

IN THE MOST SERIOUS OF MANY NO-START INCIDENTS, OUR VAN FAILED TO START IN 107 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITH OUR THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE WERE STRANDED AT A REMOTE REST AREA, WITH NOWHERE TO TAKE REFUGE FROM THE DANGEROUS HEAT. AFTER 18 ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED AND WE COMPLETED OUR TRIP TO RENO NEVADA, DRIVING IN REMOTE AREAS AMID DEADLY HEAT FEARING OUR VAN WOULD FAIL TO RESTART IF STOPPED. IN THE PRIOR WEEK WHILE IN FL, THE VAN HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AT OUR GATOR CHRYSLER, IN A REPAIR ADVISED TO SOLVE NO START INCIDENTS WE HAD IN FL. THE VAN ALSO UNDERWENT AN INSPECTION, WITH NO PROBLEMS REPORTED TO US. WE SCHEDULED A PANICKED DEALER SERVICE VISIT WHILE STILL IN ROUTE, AT A RENO DODGE ON JULY 1ST 2013. THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS RETAINED THE VAN TO DIAGNOSE THE NO-START FOR 2 FULL DAYS. THEY NOTED NO MALFUNCTION AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE VAN HAS SINCE DEVELOPED INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF SEVERAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, INCLUDING STALLING WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE, FAILING TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, NO POWER TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR NO POWER TO THE CONSOLE CONTROLS. THE VAN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN DECEMBER OF 2011 HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN "REPAIRED" IN THE RECALL FOR ITS WIN MODULE. ADDITIONALLY A PCM REFLASH 68050411AF HAD BEEN PERFORMED. OUR VAN CONTINUES TO HAVE NO-START INCIDENTS AND TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, NO FIXES. BOTH RENO AREA CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HAVE LOOKED AT OUR VAN AND NOTED NO FAILURES. DESPITE BEING "REPAIRED" UNDER RECALL THE IGNITION MODULE CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION. WITH A FOB INSERTED THE MODULE SHOWS EXCESS SLOPPINESS IN THE CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND THE ENGINE HAS CONTINUED RUNNING AFTER REMOVAL OF THE KEY. THESE MALFUNCTIONS HAVE POTENTIAL TO BECOME DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.
