While driving the vehicle stalled without warning which forced the consumer to pull off the road. The dealer inspected the vehicle several times but could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Please provide further information.

I am the original owner of a 1993 dodge intrepid (3.3 engine) which has experienced unpredictable engine shut off while driving at any speed. The instrument panel flickers and then the engine shuts off, making steering very difficult and endangering the occupants because the motorists around me get no warning of the sudden slow down.

Dealer diagnostic showed faulty circuit board cluster. Problem as follows: causing cruise control light to turn on at speeds ranging from 10 - 55 plus miles per hour without driver engaging cruise control. I feel that this is a possible safety hazard, this control engaging itself at speeds under 35 miles per hour. Secondary problem: vehicle has begun to stall in traffic. The latest was on 5/11/02 - speed of vehicle 35 miles per hour - vehicle quit and was forced to pull over to side of road to get out of traffic and re-start vehicle. Please note that this vehicle had major tune-up done less than 6 months ago. Have also replaced starter in dec. 2001, fuel pressure regulator last month. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Keith w. Adam 5/11/02.

When backing the vehicle out of a parking stall, a loud clunk was heard ... And then a loud "rotary clunking" noise. The vehicle would no longer move ... And the "rotary clunking noise" could be heard in all forward and reverse gears (I.e., all gears except park & neutral). The vehicle was towed to an aamco shop. The tow truck driver noticed that the passenger-side front suspension was "torn from the frame" ... And I noted that the passenger-side front wheel/tire was no longer centered in the wheel well (moved substantially forward). Aamco determined that due to the suspension bracket failure, the axle had broke (at the u-joint) and was allowed to spin freely ... Hence the loud "rotary clunking" noise. Aamco replaced both axles. The vehicle was then towed to autowest dodge (43155 auto mall circle; fremont, ca; 94538; 510 252-5000) to replace the engine cradle sub-frame, bushings, etc. ... And re-attach the suspension components. This lower control arm bracket failure is suspiciously similar to the federal safety agency campaign id number 99v215000 ... But according to autowest dodge and daimlerchrysler (1‑800‑992‑1997), my vehicle's VIN is not included in this recall. Is it possible for the federal safety agency to investigate the failure of this component on my vehicle? Perhaps the scope of the "99v215000 recall" should be expanded to include other lh body production runs. Note that old axles were retained by aamco for core exchange ... And I have asked to retain possession of the failed engine cradle. I'm sure a qualified metallurgist would be able to determine the actual cause of the failure/fatigue (poor engineering, poor workmanship, poor weld penetration, etc.). Fortunately, my vehicle's bracket failure occurred at a very low speed and no harm was done to the driver (my wife) or the passenger (my 15-month-old daughter). I'm only out the $2500.00 (approx.) repair bill ... I would hate to think what could have happened if the failure occurred at highway speed!.

Was driving when engine check light & cruise control light came on. Vehicle then stalled out & would not start. Tried 3 times & vehicle filled with gas fumes. Had vehicle towed to mechanic. The mechanic could not locate the stalling problem or the gas fumes problem.
