THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *JB

AT AN IMPACT OF APPROX 100MPH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON MY 97 TOWN & COUNTRY LXI DEPLOYED HOWEVER THE DRIVER AIRBAG DIDNOT. THE IMPACT WAS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND DOWN THE SIDE. WHY WOULD THE DRIVER AIRBAG NOT DEPLOY?

NO RESPONSE TO SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE MINIVAN'S CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. * CONSUMER REQUESTED ASSISTANCE ON REIMBURSEMENT FOR SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE HORN WAS INOPERATIVE. *TT *JB

DURING SERVICE HAD TRANSMITION OIL & FILTER CHANGED AT 69,000 MILES. NO SILVER SPARKLES IN OLD OIL NOTED. AT 86,000 COMPLEAT TRANS FAILURE. WHEN PAN REMOVED FROM TRANS. "CHUNKS" OF METAL NOTICED IN OIL!!!!! WARRANTY DID NOT COVER $3,700 TO REPLACE TRANS. REGARDLESS OF TEMP, TRANS SHIFTS WHEN IT WANTS TO AND WILL STALL ENGINE IN A MINUTE FOR NO REASON.

VAN ENGINE DIES AT ANY TIME WITHOUT ANY SPUTTERING OR WARNING, LIKE SOMEONE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN AS SOON AS I PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND TURN KEY. OFTEN WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL JERK REAL HARD LIKE I JUST DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP, BUT ENGINE DOES NOT KILL. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR A SECOND. DEALER SAYS NOTHING SHOWS ON COMPUTER SO THERES NOTHING HE CAN DO. CHRYSLER IN DETROIT WAS CALLED AND SAID THE SAME THING. THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I SEE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM POSTED ALSO. HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO. IT SEEMS IF THE DEALERS COMPUTER DOESN'T GIVE THEM A CODE THEY ARE LOST AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP. IT'S A VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN!

SERPENTINE BELT COMES OFF ON A REGULAR BASIS. A CHRYSLER EMPLOYEE TOLD THE CONSUMER TO EXPECT IT TO COME OFF WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *JB
