CONSUMER IS FURIOUS AND WANTS TO BE REFUNDED THE COST OF REPAIRS. VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. FUEL RAIL AND O-RINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL CALLING FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL RAIL AND O-RINGS. HOWEVER DEALER RECORDS INDICATE THE FUEL RAIL WAS PREVIOUSLY BROKEN WHICH VOIDED THE RECALL. (RECALL#98V184000) *TT *CB

INTERMITTENT - WHILE STOPPED, VEHICLE VIBRATES/STARTS TO STALL AND STOPS - "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" COMES ON. CAR WILL RESTART INSTANTLY AND RUN O.K. (LIGHT GOES OUT). INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" COMES ON AND ENGINES HESITATES - WILL CLEAR UP OR STALL. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE HAS NEVER LISTED A CODE IN THE SYSTEM. ON 05/21/2002 DODGE DEALER RECOMMENDED THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT PURSUANT TO SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 18-04-96 (ERRATIC IDLE AND MIL ILLUMINATED) EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (COST: $335.50 FOR THROTTLE BODY PART, $40.00 INSTALLATION AND $65.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS). PARTS REPLACED IN 2001 TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS: SPARK PLUGS, VALVE COVER GASKET, IDLE AIR CONTROL, TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, FUEL FILTER; FUEL INJECTION AND THROTTLE BODY WERE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO OPERATE WITH THE PROBLEMS NOTED AND IS UNRELIABLE. PLEASE ADVISE.*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH, VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. CONSUMER STATEED HAD TO PULL CAR OVER. CONSUMER FEELS LUCKY THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*JB

THE CAR EXHIBITS A CONDITION WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH AS WELL AS HAVING A PULSATING PEDAL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. AT THE FIRST OCCURANCE, 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AND INSTALLED NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS (THE ROTORS WERE NOT WORN, JUST SEVERELY WARPED). MONTHS LATER THE SAME OCCURANCE. AT THIS JUNCTURE, I REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH NEW PARTS, AND WENT TO PREMIUM CERAMIC PADS. NOW BARELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE AFOREMENTIONED EFFECTS HAVE REOCCURED AND THE NEW ROTORS ARE AGAIN WARPED. REALLY LOVE THE CAR, BUT WANT THIS FIXED AS IT FEELS VERY SCAREY TO DRIVE.*JB

THE HEATER CONTROL VALVE FAILED, CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INSIDE VEHICLE. SAME PART FAILED BEFORE AT 33000 IN 1992, THERE IS A RECALL BUT PER MANUFACTURER THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED. ALSO THE BULB WAS REPLACED FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT. *JB
