2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I CURRENTLY AM BUYING A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS PART OF THE RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION MODULE. THIS HAS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SPORADICALLY NOT START, EVEN AFTER A COMPLETE DAY OF DRIVING. THIS ISSUE STARTED SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VAN ALMOST 2 YEAS AGO. I WAS TOLD MY KEY NEEDED REPROGRAMMED, PAID TO HAVE IT DONE AND THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT FIXED THE ISSUE , AS IT CONTINUES TO PROGRESSIVELY WORSEN. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART. I HAVE SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY BOTH SAY THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT EVEN DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT THINK THAT THE RECALL IS THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT EVEN IF IT IS THE RECALLED PART THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THE 2009 AS OF YET. I FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE FUNCTIONAL MUCH LONGER AS THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR ON NOW A DAILY BASIS. THE DEALER INSISTS IT IS SOMETHING ELSE ANY OTHER TIME I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AND JUST TRIES TO JUST SELL ME ANOTHER PART THAT WILL NOT FIX IT. SO WHAT ARE OTHER OPTIONS OTHER THAN PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS NON FUNCTIONAL OR GIVING THE CAR BACK LOOSING ANYTHING I HAVE PAID ON IT AND BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE? *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WHEREIN MY "ANTI-SKID" SYSTEM IS SOMEHOW ACTIVATED AND KILLS MY ENGINE AND TIGHTENS UP MY STEERING WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM ABLE TO KEEP MY COOL AND THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VAN AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND KEEP GOING. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEED OR THICK TRAFFIC. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. I FOUND A SIMILAR COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET: HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/DODGE/8TIR2-2009-GRAND-CARAVAN-59-000-MILES-TRACTION.HTML. *TR
