Tl*the contact owns a 1999 dodge caravan. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact heard a clunking noise and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was pulled over.

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55mph the check battery light illuminated. The light illuminated for ten minutes, and then the engine stalled. The vehicle was pulled off the side of the road without incident. A new battery was installed; it stayed charged for two days then failed. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealership, but the contact stated the alternator caused the batteries to fail.
When driving 60 MPH on wet road the serpentine belt came off the engine pulley. This caused power steering assist problem, engine overheating, and stalling. Dealer was notified, but was unable to resolve this issue.
Vehicle tends to stall at various speeds when the check engine light stayes on. Consumer will contact manufacturer.
The cross over pipe underneath split apart, allowing the exhaust fumes/carbon monoxide to enter compartment. Fumes were sometimes overwhelming. Vehicle hesitated upon acceleration and stalled. Manufacturer was aware of this problem, and the part was back ordered with 10,000 consumers waiting. *ak.....fiv eother families encountered the exact same problem.
Vehicle lunged forward. I was unable to control speed due to lunging and stalling. Does this with or without the air condition on and only upon acceleration. Does not matter if it is on an incline or not-always upon acceleration. Very unsafe and I am very worried as I travel alone with a toddler in this daily.
While driving at 35 MPH, the consumer heard a clanking sound come from the engine compartment. A few seconds later the vehicle loss power steering and stalled. After repeated attempts the vehicle would not restart. The dealer examined the vehicle and found that holes were punched into the transmission housing case.
Oil leaking at head gasket at 43,000 mi (3yr 36k warranty) wanted a second opinion as I could not believe it. Mechanic who looked at it then wasn't sure but kept an eye on it. Just brought it to a new mechanic now have 60,000 miles on it. New mechanic says he has seen this problem multiple times in this model and the neon. We bought this car brand new. Upon delivery it had a dent which had to be repaired on my time, we had A/C repaired twice, power train control module replaced(kept stalling while driving),and visor broke, all during first 6 months. Now this. Chrysler says there are no recalls or extended warranty for this. I plan to keep fighting this one.
The vehicle stalled without warning. Vehicle was repaired and kept in the garage.
