While driving along at approximately 65 MPH the gas gauge suddenly went from 1/4 to zero. In addition the tachometer went to zero , the temp gauge went to the off gauge and the speedometer went to 120 and stayed there. The ABS light also came on and stayed there. This is a major safety defect and my research reveals that it is a known problem and due to poor cold solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board. Multiple vehicle owners have reported this problem and many people have paid for repairs that they should not have had to pay for because of a defective printed circuit board problem. If the problem has been in existence since production it seems reasonable that the problem should be fixed at no cost to the vehicle owner. Not knowing vehicle speed, fuel level, engine temp is a major hazard and an accident waiting to happen.

Fuel gauge intermittent non-functional. Increasingly more frequent engine dying episodes, then is able to restart after 5-10 minutes rest period. Mil lamp code reads battery power disconnect to PCM during previous 40 engine cranks. I suspect a faulty relay( switch) component that fails at certain voltages and after equilibration rest period its value returns to normal and restarts (allows current to pass through from battery. Source to PCM and into ignition circuit).

When driving my van the dash check engine light comes on, the brake warning light comes on, and the ABS light comes on. When stopping at a red light the RPM, odometer, and fuel gauges drop off as if you have shut the car off. These gauges will not come back on until after you have taken off and reached speeds of 10 to 25 MPH. Intermidentally the gauges including the speedometer will quit at various speeds and will not come back on until basically it gets ready to you never know 1 minute or 5 minutes. I am concerned about driving this vehicle because I don't know when these lights are coming on because of this problem or if they are on because they have a valid reason to be on. I have taken the vehicle to the frank fletcher dodge for repair and they changed a computer the 2nd time and told me they can't duplicate the problem for most of the isues. I take them for a drive and the problem is still there. I have not been able to get chrysler to show any real concern other than tell me I should be patient with electrical problems. My patience has expired and I am worried about driving an unsafe car. If you could please help me I would appreciate it.
