THE VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH STARTING.. IT WILL WORK FINE AND THEN YOU WILL BE AT THE STORE ETC AND YOU TURN THE KEY AND YOU HEAR A CLICK BUT THE MOTOR WILL NOT TURN OVER. YOU CLICK THE KEY BACK AND FORTH AND IF YOU ARE LUCKY IT WILL START AFTER 10 TO 20 TIMES. THEN YOU WILL GO 2 OR 3 WEEKS WITH NO PROBLEMS AND THEN OUT OF THE BLUE YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR AND BAM IT WILL CLICK WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY AND NOT START. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT START FOR 10 OR 15 MINUTES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL START. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6-10 MONTHS. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND REPLACE. CHRYSLER HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS. GO ON THE BLOGS AND THAT IS ALL YOU HEAR ABOUT. STARTING PROBLEM, STARTING PROBLEM, STARTING PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. EVERYONES SAFETY AND POCKET BOCK IS BEING AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE POOR ENGINEERING IN THE SHIFT LEVER TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS SOMETIMES CALLED A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH BUT ON THE TOWN AND COUNTRY IT IS CALLED A TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A FOUR LANE STREET, WITH NO WARNING, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE BRIGHTS DID NOT WORK EITHER. TURNED THE SWITCH OFF & ON, NOTHING. TURNED CAR OFF FOR 10 MINUTES THEN BACK ON, BUT HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE DARK, AND OF COURSE I GOT PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE! THANKFULLY ONLY RECEIVED A WARNING! FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE HEADLIGHTS & BRIGHTS ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN THEY'LL WORK OR NOT. THEY WILL WORK AND THEN JUST GO OUT WHILE WE'RE DRIVING; OR SOMETIMES THEY WON'T SWITCH ON AT ALL. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN! FUSE & RELAYS ARE FINE. VERY DANGEROUS!

WHILE DRIVING (HIGHWAY AND CITY) THE VAN WILL DIE. NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. IT WILL RESTART, BUT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR MAKING A TURN AND HAVE THE VEHICLE DIE. I HAVE BEGAN MAINTAINING A LOG OF WHEN THIS HAPPENS...6 TIMES IN JUST OVER THE COURSE OF A MONTH. NOW WE ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NEEDED AND IT STILL IS DIE THIS OFTEN. THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE.
