RECALL97V2000000 CONCERNING TIRE FAILURE. ON PRIOR YEAR FOR SAME PROBLEM. ENGINE DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE ENGINE BREIFLY SHUTS DOWN AND THEN RESTARTS. WHEN TRAVELEING AT LOW SPEEDS THE ENGINE STALLS COMPLETELY RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST FOR STEERING AND BRAKING. IN BOTH CASES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS. *JG

THE CAMSHAFT SUFFERED A SPUN BEARING WHICH RESULTED IN NO LUBRICATION BEING PUMPED TO THE REAR HEAD. THIS LACK OF LUBRICATION RESULTED IN A REAR TOWER FAILURE AND THE WEARING OF A HOLE IN THE ROCKER ARM. EVEN AT 95000 MILES, THIS SEEMS TO BE LOW FOR THE NEW ENGINES OF TODAY AND I FEEL THIS IS PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE CAUSED EITHER BY A POOR DESIGN OR A MANUFACTURER'S ASSEMBLY RELATED PROBLEM. BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD, THE DCX CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS TOTALLY NON RESPONSIVE AND UNHELPFUL. THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO WHY THERE IS NO RECOURSE FOR THE CONSUMER TO ADDRESS THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE OEMS. IN FACT, THE CONSUMER IS LEFT WITHOUT ANY RECOURSE WHAT SO EVER. A FAILURE AT THIS MILEAGE WHICH IS COSTING ME $4800 BECAUSE OF AN INITIAL MISDIAGNOSIS BY A DODGE DEALER IN COLORADO SPRINGS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.*AK

VOYAGER AIR BAG AND SPEED CONTROL. STOCKTON DODGE SERVICE DEPT. ESTIMATED $225.00 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE A STEERING WHEEL "CLOCKSPRING". I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL FAILURE ON THESE CHRYSLER VEHICLES. STOCKTON DODGE TOLD ME THE "CLOCKSPRING" WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS 1997 VOYAGER.*AK
