Consumer Description

MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES THIS VAN WILL NOT START. DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE PROBLEM, AND USUALLY IT OCCURS FROM COLD START, BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED OVER 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND THIS IS NOT SAFE. ALSO LOST TRANSMISSION SENSOR AND THAT KILLED CAR WHILE DRIVING BUT HAS BEEN REPLACED. CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING AND I AM NERVOUS DRIVING MY KIDS IN THIS VAN. HAD IT 2 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN STRANDED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES. NOTICED OTHERS WITH SIMILAR UNSAFE SITUATIONS AND HOPE CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THEM SOON.*AK
