It was sometime in 2012, I don't remember the exact date. We were leaving walmart, when we tried to start the van, horns blasted, lights flashed, window washer spit water, wiper blades started. This went on some time before we could get it to stop. Once, it stopped at a red light and would not start back, it died in the middle of the highway twice. And several times it would start the horn blowing, etc., when it was put into reverse. We called a wrecker once, had it towed to a dodge dealership. They put it on an analyzer and said they could find nothing. Several months later, after it quit in the highway again, we took it back. They put it on analyzer, charged us $d180.00. Said the problem was the ignition key. Told us they had no idea when the part to fix it would be available. I called dodge headquarters, customer complaint, was given the run-a-round, told us they would put us at the top of the list. I said, so you're saying if we are in the middle of a highway, or interstate, dodge doesn't care if we wreck and are all killed, possibly even others. He said no, he wasn't saying that, so I said, so what are you going to do? He said nothing. So now we are stuck with an unsafe vehicle (we only have one) which we are scared to death to use. Can we do anything else?

When clicking off my high beams, my wipers came on. I was unable to shut them off. At the same time my high beams, turn signals and rear wiper stopped working. While my front wipers were going non-stop despite being shut off, the washer fluid did not work (front and back). When I took it to my garage I was told the tipm had to be replaced but it was currently on national back order and they didn't know when they could get their hands on one. For the time being I have had to make due with disconnecting the battery for 7-10 minutes and then all systems work again, I am not sure how long this will work for but currently the only option.
I complained about this before and it is only getting worse!!!! I won't put washer fluid in my van a waste of money!!!! I took out the horn fuses because of the defect and it is only getting worse because now when it happens my head lights don't work!!!! I was driving to the hospital for surgery when it was dark out and the wipers started going and now when it happens my headlights don't work!!! I don't feel like it is my responsibility to fix the problem!!!! Why should I have to pay 500 dollars to fix a problem when it should be recalled!!!!
I had just got up to 50 MPH and the engine shut down. I was able to pull the van off the road without incident. I just seen on the news chrysler is having a computer problem. A light was on that was not on when I started the van. It is called the transmission range indicator. When I put the van in neutral it restarted and this light went out. Chrysler went to far out of its way to put an option in the computer for changing this component electrically. It is not necessary and could leave you stranded with a van full of kids in yellowstone.
We turned the car on and the windshield wipers, car horn, and lights all started going off. We could not put the car in drive or reverse. Even when we turned the keys to the ignition off position the wipers, horn, and lights continued to move and flash and sound. Only once we took the keys out of the ignition did it stop. When tried to start the car again but the problem persisted. We could not get our car to drive.
