-STALLING WHEN YOU TRY TO START. I PUSH THE BUTTON AND IT STALLS. WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION, IT SWITCHES FROM OFF TO ACCY. THE STALLING ISSUE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. NOW, IT ACTS AS IF IT IS TRYING TO START THE ENGINE AND NOTHING CONNECTS. THIS MORNING, IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 10 TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN OVER. THIS WAS AFTER I HAD DRIVEN IT A COUPLE OF MILES. THEN, WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK, IT WENT INTO THE ACCY MODE AGAIN AS I WAS OPENING THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HOOKED IT TO THEIR COMPUTER MONTHS AGO. BUT, I GUESS IF THERE IS NOT CODE, THE PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST???? THE LAST TIME THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS RELATED TO A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT THEY ADDRESSED. *TR

STEERING WHEEL DID NOT PROPERLY FUNCTION WITH THE FRONT WHEEL AXEL CAUSING A ACCIDENT ON 8/23/2014, IT WAS DIFFICULT STEERING ON RIGHT TURNS AND LEFT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE WIDE TURNS. *TR

AT ONLY 20087 MILES HAD TO HAVE REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND ROTORS TURNED POOR QUALITY MATERIALS MUST HAVE BEEN USED TO REQUIRE THIS SERVICE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THOSE BRAKES LASTED ATLEAST 40000 MILES. *TR

REAR BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. 5 SETS OF PADS, NEW CALIPER AT 35000 MILES AND NEW ROTORS. EVEN AFTER REPLACING EVERYTHING BUT ONE REAR CALIPER IT STILL STICKS AND HAS A BURNING SMELL WITH ALL NEW PARTS ON DRIVER SIDE. BRAKES ON THIS VAN ARE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS A RECALL ON THESE BRAKES AND PARTS. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING TO FLORIDA FROM BUFFALO, THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON JUST OUTSIDE OF ORLANDO,FLORIDA. IT SLOWING STARTED TO AFFECT THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING AND RESULTED IN THE ENGINE RUNNING AT 5000 RPM JUST TO MAINTAIN 55 MPH IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO PULL OFF TO SAFELY LEAVE THE HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY FINALLY DIED WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION AND IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS OVER 100 F. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD I NOT OVERWORKED THE ENGINE. *TR

WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN JULY AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CALL US WHEN THE PARTS TO FIX THE FAULTY WINDOW SWITCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WERE RECEIVED. AS OF TODAY, THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS. WE FEEL THAT 4 MONTHS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR PARTS TO FIX A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. *TR
