ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
VEHICLE STALLS PERIODICALLY. IT WILL NOT RE-START RIGHT AWAY. SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, SOMETIMES FIVE MINUTES, SOMETIMES AFTER AN HOUR OR SO. WE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY EDELEN TIRE & SERVICE AND TWICE BY CONWAY HEATON DODGE IN BARDSTOWN, KY. CONWAY HEATON VERIFIED THE PROBLEM ON FEBRUARY 1, 2002. NEITHER SERVICE CENTER COULD DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT THEM INVOLVED (CARE # 9699040). THEY CONTACTED CONWAY HEATON TO HELP, BUT COULD NOT. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WHICH IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT STALLS WITHOUT NOTICE. CHRYSLER AND CONWAY HEATON TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PLEASE HELP!*AK
