TODAY, I FOUND A NEW LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, THE RED LIGHTS ARE AGAIN FLASHING ON AND OFF, THERE ARE POWER SURGES IN THE CONTROL PANELS, THE ENGINE CHOKES AND SHUDDERS. OH, AND THE A/C IS OUT AGAIN. WE WON'T EVEN MENTION THE WINDHIELD WIPERS WHICH HAVE CONTINUALLY GONE ON AND OFF SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, OR THE AIRBAG ALARMS, OR THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE PUT INTO THIS MAINTAINED CAR. MY 20,000 CAR HAS BECOME A 40,000 LEMON. THERE IS SIMPLY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS, MILEAGE OR NOT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO KEEP THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANTED A "SAFE" CAR FOR MY TEENAGERS TO DRIVE.

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER SO FAR REFUSES TO FIX. MY VAN WILL AT TIMES STALL WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT. IT DOES THIS WHEN I AM NOT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TURNING OR COASTING, FOR EXAMPLE.

IT STARTED WHEN THE VAN WAS IN WARRANTY, ABOUT 1 YEAR OLD WITH FEWER THAN 15,000 MILES, AND HAS CONTINUED HAPPENING EVERY SUMMER. I HAVE GONE THROUGH CHRYSLER AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THE SAME: "WE WILL NOT THROW PARTS AT IT." SO, THE PROBLEM REMAINS. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND ON ROTARIES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE STILL MOVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND RESTART IT. I HAVE RECORDED THE PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER, BUT THEY HAVE...
