WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 35M/HR IN LOW TRAFFIC, VAN STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED, NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH, THEN ABS SIGNAL WENT ON AND BRAKES WERE OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE STREET AND THE VAN HAD COMPLETE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I HAD 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS LOW. THE VAN RESTARTED AND WE DROVE HOME. CALLED MY MECHANIC WHO HAD ME GET THE BATTERY CHECKED OUT, WHICH IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD. WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY A YEAR AGO BECAUSE OCCASIONALLY THE VAN WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY, WAS STRANDED SEVERAL HOURS AT A BASEBALL GAME, THEN IT STARTED. HAD IT PUT ON COMPUTER AT MECHANIC WHO CANNOT FIND ANY CODES COMING UP FOR REASON. VAN HAS HAD AT LEAST 5 EPISODES OF FAILING TO START ON FIRST TRY. SECOND TIME THIS MONTH, OCT. 29,2014. PULLING TO TURNING LANE TO GO DOWN OUR HOME STREET, WHEN AGAIN, STEERING STIFFENED, I LOOKED AT DASH BOARD, ABS LIGHT CAME ON, BRAKES OUT AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING SO I STOPPED BEFORE TURNING AND RESTARTED VAN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR. AGAIN, THANK GOOD NESS NOT ON BUSY STREET WITH TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY. I TRAVEL A LOT WITH CHILDREN AND I AM NOW AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND A SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE WILL HAPPEN. DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

FILED COMPLAINT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND EXPLAINED THE VEHICLE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THEY STATED THEY WOULD DOCUMENT THE URGENCY OF MY REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED 2 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OVER THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT MAKE SURE I REMOVE ALL OBJECT FROM MY KEY RING. I REALLY DO NOT THINK THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAD A POWER FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST STOPPED, READY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH. HOW CAN THE PARTS NOT BE AVAILABLE WHEN IT WAS JUST RELEASED ON THE NEWS THAT CHRYSLER ORDERED THE PARTS EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. ALSO, 32 DEATHS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THIS DEFECT. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE OF AN URGENT MATTER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I AM NERVOUS DRIVING, WHICH I HAVE TOO IN ORDER TO GET TO WORK, SCHOOL, SHOPPING. THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT AMERICAN MADE CARS, AND THIS IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVE. I HOPE CHRYSLER IS READY FOR MORE LAWSUITS. ITS A SHAME PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT OR EVEN DIE FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES FOUR TIMES IN ABOUT TWO YEARS. *TR

I TURNED THE KEY FOB IN THE IGNITION & IT SEEMED TO START BACK UP. THE GAUGES WENT TO THE MAX AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED RED AS MY CAR DOES WHEN I INITIALLY START IT. ON 8/11/14 I WAS EXITING A DRIVEWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED CROSSING A 2 LANE ROAD. I DIDN'T TURN THE KEY FOB THIS TIME AS MY VAN TURNED OFF & THEN BACK ON BY ITSELF. I DROPPED MY VAN OFF TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND A RECALL ON ANYTHING WITH THE IGNITION OR ENGINE TURNING OFF. I LOOKED UP THE INFO & FOUND RECALL CODE L25 DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
