1997 voyager stahls often. Come to a complete stop at red light, accelerate and the engine stalls. No warning and no warning lights displayed. We start the van up again and continue on. Also, on the highway we had two instances of this van stalling. Was able to restart and continue on. Need help, what is causing this very dangerous situation?

The dashboard airbag warning light began to stay on continually. Under warranty, in march of 2000, the dealer replaced both the airbag and the clockspring assembly. The problem appeared to be fixed. However, I began noting several months ago that the airbag warning light will come on at random times. I spoke to the dealer's service rep and I was told that the clockspring was again defective. I have learned that chrysler has replaced some 124,000 of these at customer cost. This is a definite safety issue and chrysler needs to do a recall asap. Don't let them stall for years as you let them do with the engine fire recall. I just had that done, some 2 and a half years after the problem was apparent.

Since the late winter of 97/98, the vehicle in question has suffered occasional inexplicable stalls. Usually they would occur when the engine was warm and the car had come to a routine stop (e.g. Red light). The car would then stall. More alarmingly, on several occasions it has stalled while moving in traffic creating a potentially dangerous situation. The car has been returned to the dealer for correction over a half dozen times. Twice the "co-pilot" was installed. The dealer has been unable to recreate or diagnose the problem. Their only suggestions have been to switch to a lower octane fuel and to use only a single key on the keychain. Neither ceased the problem. Subsequently they have only continued to say, bring it back. In the interim, a potentially tragic hazard continues to exist. Please advise as to any alternatives. The primary driver is my wife, patricia flynn, work # 617‑424‑0665.

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!
