More than a dozen times this van will not start. Dealership cannot locate problem, and usually it occurs from cold start, but has also occurred over 5 times while driving and this is not safe. Also lost transmission sensor and that killed car while driving but has been replaced. Chrysler is not helping and I am nervous driving my kids in this van. Had it 2 years and have been stranded more than a dozen times. Noticed others with similar unsafe situations and hope chrysler will address them soon.

My wife was driving with the kids in the car all of a sudden the van shut off luckily she was on our street I had a friend who is a license mechanic he came over .he checked for codes in the dash but revealed none. He then looked under the van to see the gas tank had collapsed at first he thought it was from the result of hitting something. We had it towed because it wouldnt start. He put it up on the rack to see the the straps were still in tact. He said that the gas tank had just plain collapsed. He then called the dealer to ask them if there was a recall on this item they said how many miles they proceeded to say 78000 the dealer said if there was about 40000 they would cover it. My mechanic buddy also said that there was a bulletin out on this problem but not enough complaints to make it a recall.the ironic thing is the gas tank is plastic so I had to pay 940.00 for repairs. I called daimler chrysler and they gave me the run around!I am a little upset because my wife and kids could have been seriously hurt if the gas would have leaked out and ignited. Could you please help me.

When vehicle was parked after being driven, and when attempting to start vehicle up again, it won't start. Also, battery had to be replaced every year since vehicle was bought.

Integrated child seat wont retract when pulled out. Weatherstripping on drivers door fell off found out the drivers door was not aligned properly. Constant belt noise especially during wet conditions. Dealer must repeatedly tighten them. Brakes pulsate when applying them. Replaced numerous components on rear brakes. Fuel tank would not read fuel level correctly. Dealer had to replace fuel tank, fuel pump, and other components and said the fuel tank was bowed. Dual sliding doors have to be repeatedly adjusted because they become difficult to slide. Driver's side window regulator broke for no apparent reason. Right rear child safety seat had hole in the buckle. Replaced battery once.installed child safety belt extensions due to recall. Van is now back in shop for unknown problems, will not start.
