Steering is very bad. Pulls to the left. Rack and pinion bushings bad, as well as a tie rod. Usually makes a popping noise when turning. Engine cooling system has malfunctioned.

Abs failed while the gear shift was moved from reverse to drive.
When depressing brake pedal pedal went to the floorboard without any indication. Failure occured in parking lot.
Air conditioner evaporator and o-rings replaced.
The brake pedal travels to the floor when the engine starts up, the ABS system responds only after the brake pedal is on the floor, the master cylinder was replaced but this condition still exist. Nlm
Continuing lack of braking "power" I.e. Pedal is on the floor and there is not enough braking force generated to cuase the anti-lock brakes to actuate ,even on wet pavement, causing longer stopping distances and some real tense moments. Deale has tried replacing several components with no result and I'm getting worried that evntually ther will be an accident caused by lack of braking ability in what should have been a no-problem, routine stop. There have been other complaints from other chrysler owners showning same behavior- these appear in chrysler lhs's and new yorkers which are essentially the same vehicles under the skin.
Ever since the car has had 7,000 miles on it the engine stalls when I am at ared light it will rev. Up shuder then stall it starts rightup again I have had it in the shop many times they can't find anything or they cleaned throtle body assembely,fixed a vacuum hose , adjusted the codes I call the car company even hade a co-piolt in there just guesting also the power steering pump was replaced the car was only 1year old and some times when the stalling problem happens the brake pedal go all the way down to the floor.
