Upon start of vehicle, wipers turned on(switch pos off), washer fluid sprayed(button not pressed), horn sounded (not pressed), could not get it to stop. Started vehicle, continued to do all three, vehicle placed in drive, would not shift out of 1st gear. Shut vehicle off, started again, same things. In days prior to this incident, the vehicle would stall unexpectedly, fortunately while approaching stop sign, or stop light and not on highway, resulted in loss of power steering, and all engine/speed indication. Dodge dealership in valdosta duplicated problems, replaced $500 electrical box. Been two days since repair, no repeats yet.

Driving on vacation in St. Louis we were on highway going 65 miles/hour and we heard a rattling sound. Thinking we had a flat tire, we moved toward exit and noticed the engine had died. We coasted to the side of the highway exit. We just bought this brand new vehicle 2 weeks ago!!! after having it towed to service station, we were informed the computer that tells the engine what to do has malfunctioned. We rented a van and drove home to milwaukee. We still don't have our "new" van and now the repair station said they won't get the part for 5 more days! they don't know when they will be able to work on it. When the vehicle is repaired, we will have to drive back to St. Louis with a one-way rental to pick up our new, albeit, dangerous van.

Gear shift interlock does not disengage properly when putting gear shift into the park position causing key fob from not releasing from ignition switch. In order to release key properly the gear shift handle must be pushed up with force until a click is audible then interlock engages and key then can be removed from ignition. This problem occurs quite often and is more of a nuisance and headache. Took vehicle to dealer but they stated that gear shift mechanism needed replaced after adjusting gear shift cable. Part was labeled as restricted by Chrysler and did not have a eat for part availability. Called back dealer after a few days and the service tech stated that part was to ship on or after 11/1/08.
