The engine just cuts off periodacally. All power is lost, causing us to lose steering ability.this usually happerns when we have taken our foot off of the gas pedal. The dealer said it was probably the throttle motor. It was cleaned, but it didi not help. This may be similar to complaint odi id, 812181.

Tensioner belt on the engine had snapped / broke while pulling out of driveway. Vehicle towed to dealer & was repaired. Then the driver's side seat belt locked up. It failed to release when trying to loosen it up. Consumer took vehicle back to dealer. *ak
Because the radiator fan engine went out and the plug burned into we need a new plug, but to our surprise chrysler says they won't sell the plug, but instead we will need to purchase the wiring harness at the tune of $800.00 which is the mechanic's cost. We were trying to find a plug at a salvage yard, but none are available. We were told that this part is in high demand because of the high failure rate. Is chrysler making this part out of too light a material for the amount of current? If we can find one at a salvage yard they told us they sell them for $20.00. A friend is checking salvages in another state for us. Why won't chrysler sell them? Why do they try to force us to buy a whole harness at the outrageous price of $800.00? The fan engine was $247.50 and then $800.00 on top of that for the harness. Quite an expensive repair.
The fusable links were tightly bundled near driver side shock tower. The cooling fan motor siezed. The engine did not overheat due to operation at highway speed . The fuseable link in the center of the tight bundle burned, causing most of the others to also burn.this bundle was also atop the main wiring harnes, causing it to start to burn. Smelling something hot, I pulled over and opened the hood to find a small electrical fire. Being a firefighter I quickly disconected the negative battery cable causing the fire to go out. The fuasble links were tightly bundled at the factory. This is a dangerous situation that is simple to fix, by cutting the bundle and slightly spacing the fusable links out.
Engine fails repeatedly. Also belt tensioner broke while driving in parking lot for no apparent reason.
Throttle cable froze due to its location near engine, and touching the hot engine. In addition, wires overheated, resulting in a fire. Rear ABS brakes/overheated engine and radiator were replaced also.
