This van, slightly over 1 year old, has a history of stalling, windshield wipers going on without reason and off, radio breaking, tape player making noise when not used and the brakes went out the first time, I was told it was fixed, and the very next day they went out again almost causing a serious accident and deaths. This is serious and I would like to know actions taken by the federal safety agency concerning this as I have seen many other instances/complaints of stalling, windshield wiper problems and serious brake defects and breakdowns on the federal safety agency's customer complaints on the internet. I believe that the federal safety agency should give more serious investigative attention against daimler chrysler concerning the stalling and brake problems as this is putting people's lives in danger it seems on a constant and re-occuring basis!
