Vehicle will stall for no reason. Consumer states stalling had been occurring just 6 months after purchasing vehicle, there was a recall, 94V033, regarding transmission problems which could cause stalling, however when taken to dealer, dealer stated that due to mileage, it was out of warranty, dealer replaced PCM and charged consumer for it.

Vechicle overheated, was towed to nearest Chrysler service center, replaced thermostat. 6 wks later overheated again towed to dealership again, was told it had a cracked head gasket they repalced it. Six wks later car stalled while driving 55 mph on interstate again towed dealership could not find a reason for this. 3 wks later same problem again towed this time they said a coil wire was loose.no other problem was found same day I picked up the car it again stalled and had to be towed this time they said some idle steps were out of sync they should have already known this since I just got the car back that day. Every time the car was in the shop they could find nothing wrong so they say, I left the car for several days so that a computer co-Pilot could be installed and the mechanics could monitor the problem as it happens. This produced no info. The car has run all winter but now that warm weather is here the problem has started again. The car had to be again towed on 3/8/00 still no satisfaction as to why this is happening. Have spokken to several representatives from Chrysler warranty and manufacturing divisions concerning this and they have on numerous occassions been very rude. The last straw occurred on April 14,2000 while driving to find the exact location of a very important job interview the car broke down 2, I was no where near a phone and could not call for help. I sat in the car for 1 hr tried to restart the car it started but I couldn't trust the vehicle to continue the trip. I had to turn around and head back home, I was driving back home and it stalled again I waited another 1/2 hour it started and I prayed all the way home I would make it safely. Each time I have had the car towed I have had to pay $50 as my deductible on my extended warranty and each time they said they couldn't find the problem. I feel very upset and disappointed to think I am paying for such an unreliable car. I will never buy another Chrysler product.

This car has been a nightmare since I'll purchased it, I had to have my transmission replaced, my engine light keep going on, my radio keeps going out. If it's not one thing it's another. I will never buy another Chrysler product. My mother has always owned Chrysler but she's change her mind. My dealer only cares about the sale of the car, not the service after you sign on the dotted line. Thanks, nicole
