NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOUR DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VAN STARTING WAY BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2001 WITH 13,000 MILES ON IT AND AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME, DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER, THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND RPM'S RANDOMLY GO UP AND DOWN AND SOMETIMES DON'T WORK AT ALL. THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES, IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SOMETIMES FOR 2 WEEKS AT A TIME. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER, HARNESS (TWICE), IGNITION SWITCH, FUSES, ETC. THEY JUST HAD IT LAST WEEK AND TODAY I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. BASICALLY IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO A CHRYSLER SHOP IN NANUET, NY. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 800 NUMBER AND THEY SAID BASICALLY ALL THAT THEY COULD DO IS TO TRY TO HELP THE SERVICE CENTER GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION TO HELP THEM FIX IT. BUT AGAIN, THEY JUST HAD THE CAR LAST WEEK AFTER I CALLED AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL HERE. I HAVE HAD TO RENT CARS AND BORROW CARS TO USE WHILE IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. I REALLY HASN'T COST ME ALL THAT MUCH MONEY BECAUSE THEY ARE FIXING IT (TRYING TO FIX IT) UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE ONLY HAD RENTAL CAR EXPENSES. THE BIG INCONVENIENCE IS GETTING THE CAR TO THE SHOP, ETC... IT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND WITH NO WARNING, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY COVERED UP TO 36000 MILES. *AK THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD, SCREECHED AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE OUT. ALSO, THE FRONT SEAT ADJUSTMENT MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN THE UP AND DOWN POSITION. *SCC THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW MOTORS, AC COMPRESSOR,AND THE AUTOMATIC TAILGATE CLOSE LATCH ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB
