So far this vehicle has been a lemon. I have replaced everything on it, from fuel pump, sensors, steering column, belt tensioner and pulley, alternator, wiper switch that seems to have a mind of its own even tho I replaced a new switch. Now more electrical problems. The instrument cluster is now messed up. Abs light and check engine light keep coming on all my gauges go flat. Lights go dim. Then suddenly lights will flash and they will all come back on. Then go off again. Now, not only do they go flat but now I have a shifting problem. The vehicle will not shift. It seems to be stuck in 2nd gear. I replaced the whole braking system. Egr valve, cam sensor, cruise control, the body. The gas pedal use to accelerate on its own. That was a little scary goin down the road not knowing when it was gonna do that. Everyone who rides with me keeps joking as if the vehicle is haunted. Lights go weak, I've replaced all the bulbs cleaned the headlights. Nothing seems to work right on this vehicle. I've already invested thousands. Way more then its worth. I've had problems where the vehicle just refuses to start. Sometimes not a problem. Then usually in the cold it wont turn over at all. I have replaced the battery numerous times checked for codes. Airbag light would come on. Transmission hesitates. Sometimes vehicle shudders acts like its gonna quit.vehicle just has on going problems.

A spark from an unknown source ignited gasoline from a small leak in the fuel pump and resulted in the minivan catching on fire. The wiring of the vehicle was also burned in the fire. The repair shop who intially looked at the vehicle felt it would be better for chrysler to perform the repair work due to the wiring being involved. Our local chrysler dealership refused to allow the car to be toed to the dealership until national chrysler sent out an investigator to determine the cause of the fire. We have been provided little information from chrysler other than their belief the fire was not due to a manufacturing problem. They have not stated what they believe caused the fire and the delay in getting our vehicle repaired was over 1 week. We have yet to get the vehicle back!
