WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS PARKING THE VAN IN THE PARKING LOT HE HEARD A LOT SQUEAKING AND THE VAN WOULDN'T MOVE !! THANK GOD IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MI PER HR !!!! WE ARE THE OWNERS OF 3 CHYSLER PRODUCTS ! WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO NEW ORLEANS (KATRINA SURVIVORS) .WHAT IF WE IN OUR 70S HAD THIS HAPPEN ONE NIGHT ON OUR WAY BACK FOR A VISIT !!

First our brakes went to bare metal with very few miles. Then our rack and pinion steering went out and was replaced under warranty. Then our brakes had to be replaced again at 32000 miles. Now with only 52k miles as my wife was bringing the kids home from school the van was rendered immobile with a huge clunking noise in the front end. The van was towed to the Dodge Dealer who determined the next morning that the front drive shaft had cracked in two. The Dealer had no explanation for this happening other than to replace the assembly under extended warranty. Also, our brakes were completely worn again for the third time!! This time the rotors had to be replaced also! Please, someone take Dodge products off the Dealer Show Rooms. I have no!!! confidence in Dodge or Chrysler products nor will I or my wife purchases them again.
