Electrical issue with multiple items like, wipers, door locks, windows, automatic doors, dome lights, dash lights etc...

No my passenger window will not work and the passenger door button on the side post doesn't work.
Tl*- the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet town and country. While driving at 65 MPH the vehicle stalled. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and installed a transmission carrier, but indicated that the fuel injection pump could also be the cause of the failure. This incident occurred for three weeks and continued to occur after being repaired. The failure occurred when the vehicle was hot or cold. The contact stated that there were no warning indicator lights when the stalling occurred. However, when the vehicle lost power the oil light indicator was lit. The contact felt unsafe driving the vehicle due to the frequent stalling incidents, including one that occurred at 1 am. Updated 2/22/2007 -now the vehicle exhibits a rough start condition. The steering had become very tight and makes noise. The radio will not play and the vehicle cuts off when it is on. Transmission problems. The horn will not sound. Rear wipers stopped working.
I own a 2003 chrysler voyager. I am having electrical problems that cause me not to be able to run my air conditioner along with my radio. I am also having problems with my power windows, windshield wipers, and headlights when my air conditioner is on.
Dt: consumer was driving on the freeway while it was raining. When consumer changed lanes and used turn signal on driver's side the windshield wipers stopped. Consumer believed that she may have let the turn signal switch go back to the middle position and windshield wipers began to work again. Consumer had a recall on power steering fixed at the dealer, but did not fix the windshield wiper problem. Windshield wipers failed twice since recall repairs were done. Consumer said this happened all three times that she was on the freeway. Doesn't seem to happen when not using the turn signal.
On 2 separate occasions hatchback popped open by itself. The second time this failure occurred hatch back hit a brick wall in a parking lot. The rear windshield and windshield wipers broke. The dealership was contacted, but didn't provide any assistance.
