This is an intermittent problem that Chrysler so far refuses to fix. My van will at times stall when the weather is hot. It does this when I am not pressing the gas pedal while turning or coasting, for example. The dealer has only been able to duplicate the situation once and does not know what causes it so refused to "throw parts at it." It started when the van was in warranty, about 1 year old with fewer than 15,000 miles, and has continued happening every summer. I have gone through Chrysler and their response is the same: "we will not throw parts at it." So, the problem remains. The vehicle has stalled on major highways and on rotaries and is very dangerous. I have to throw it in neutral while still moving in heavy traffic and restart it. I have recorded the problem with Chrysler, but they have not done anything.

Engine stalled numerous times without warning after slowing from high speed. In each incident, stalling occurred while slowing after driving at highway speeds for extended periods (1 hr or more) during hot weather (80deg of higher). One incident involved stalling on I-95 during rush hour. Traffic slowdown caused speed decrease from approx 60mph to approx 40mph when engine stalled suddenly and without warning. Van was immediately put into neutral in attempt to restart while coasting.engine started right up but then stalled again immediately. Had to coast across two lanes of heavy traffic to get van off road. Waited several minutes to restart. Engine restarted ok. Kept foot on gas to prevent restalling. After 2-3 minutes, engine ran fine again. Latest incident involved engine stalled just after entering turn at approx 15-20mph. Van had been driven at high speeds (50-70 mph) for approx 2hrs prior to incident. Engine stalled suddenly and without warning, resulting in loss of steering.lack of steering nearly caused accident.allowed van to coast off road. Restarted and kept foot on gas pedal to prevent restalling. After several minutes, engine ran ok. Other incidents involved engine stalling while driving into parking lots after driving at highway speeds continuously for several hours. Three dealers have attempted to fix problem by replacing computer, fuel pump, battery, and fuel tank.also tried using premium unleaded gas, yet stalling still persists.incidents occurred approx 3-4 times/year.usually no fault codes indicated by computer when checked by dealer.
