THE ENGINE LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEFORE I HAD THE CHANCE TO PULL OVER THE ENGINE LOCKED UP. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR 4 MINUTES THEN GO OFF. MY ENGINE LOCKED UP BEFORE THE WARNING SIGNAL WENT OFF INDICATING THAT I HAD LESS THAN 4 MINUTES TO RESPOND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO PAY ONE HALF OF THE REPAIRS COSTS, HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THE OIL SCREEN IN THE OIL PAN BECAME CLOGGED AS A RESULT OF MECHANICAL FAILURE. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL. I FEEL THAT THIS ENGINE DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD LIKE FOR DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO STAND BEHIND THIER PRODUCT BY COMPLETELY PAYING FOR THE NEW ENGINE THAT I HAD TO HAVE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT A 1997 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER WITH ONLY 53,865 MILES SHOULD NOT...

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...

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 NHTSA CONCERNING THIS AS I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER INSTANCES/COMPLAINTS OF STALLING, WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS AND SERIOUS BRAKE DEFECTS AND BREAKDOWNS ON NHTSA'S CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THAT NHTSA 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!

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. *AK

VEHICLE JUMPS AND VIBRATES AND WHINES WHEN ACCELERATING.

WHENEVER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO MOVE, THE ENGINE WILL ROAR UP, BUT THE TRUCK JUST SITS THERE BEFORE IT WILL MOVE. ALSO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *AK
