While driving on the road the motor dies as if I turned it off, so of course it's difficult to steer. I managed to get off to the side of the road. I decided to put it in neutral and try to start it. It started and off I went. Several days later the same thing happened so as I was coasting along, I just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happened periodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, I pulled into my parking place at work and just as I was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! This continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! It finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! This has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! That's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! I think chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! Can't really afford a new part or vehicle!

While driving the van the windshield wipers came on, instrument panel lights began to flash, doors locked and unlocked and the engine lost power. The alarm system went off and could not be turned off. This has happened several times when driving and all the power is lost to the power steering, engine and lights. It is a very dangerous situation as it can happen on the freeway as well as on a city street. We have been stranded so many times and have fears to drive this van anywhere! We were stranded in seattle on a city street and had to wait two hours for a tow truck to tow it to the nearest dealer there. When it arrived at the dealer it was late afternoon and the mechanic agreed that the systems were not 'communicating' with each other but he would check it out in the morning...by the morning, the van was not doing it's craziness and the mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with it! We have had the local dealer check it out and they cannot seem to find the problem, but obviously there is a problem. Why can't chrysler figure this out? It is dangerous and scary and our beloved van is no longer reliable transportation for our family. The federal safety agency....there have been so many complaints about this problem...it needs to be addressed and, yes, it is a safety issue, big time! We need your help to get chrysler to figure out what is going on with these vans. It is as if they are 'possessed by the devil' help us please! What else can we do?

While in motion on a city street the vehicle's engine, power steering, and brakes shut down. Luckily no accident, but had to come to a stop on city street while travelling with traffic to restart vehicle. Electrical system appeared to be operating but had to use manual power to steer and stop the vehicle - no power from engine. This has happened about 6 or 7 times, but three times in past week.

The van will shut off while driving on the road the steering and brakes didn't work, I have to make sure I make it to the side of the road because it doesn't always want to start. It could be 5 or 10 minutes before I get it to start and I have had to leave it on the side of the road over night until the next day and have a tow truck pick it up.. I could of been killed or killed someone else. The horn, windshield wipers and window wiper water is spraying, flash lights flashing randomly go on at any time some times while I'm driving, some times late at night and the only way to stop all of this is to disconnect the battery or let it keep going until the battery drains. The speedometer goes on when I open the door but when I turn the vehicle on the speedometer goes off/blank. This scares me I'm afraid to drive it!

On 6/25, while driving down the highway I experienced some type of a power surge. The car started bucking, the A/C went off the horn started going off, the wipers started going off, the engine started revving. I was able to get off the parkway and pull into a parking lot. The things kept on happening until I turned the vehicle off. I tried to restart the vehicle, but it seemed like the vehicle was dead. Nothing worked. I had to have the vehicle towed to my house. On 6/27 I tried to start the vehicle and it srarted right up. I turned it off and tried to restart it, but again everything was dead. On 6/30 without doing anything the lights in the vehicle started flashing, the rear windshield washer started squirted washer fluid until it was empty, but the washer motor kept on operating. This lasted for about 20 minutes until it finally stopped. I attemptd to start the vehicle, but once again everything was dead. I was actually afraid while I was driving the vehicle, because of all the safety implications. When is a safety recall going to be issued? These problems could have deadly results.
