UNFORTUNATELY, DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. ON FOUR COMPLETE RANDOM OCCURRENCES, THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETED SHUT DOWN (STALLED). ALL FOUR TIMES WE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WAS WHEN WE THE DRIVER WAS MAKING A SLIGHT TURN (RIGHT OR LEFT). THREE TIMES IT STALLED/SHUTDOWN AT LOWER SPEEDS. ONCE AT 40 MILES PER/HOUR. WHEN IT STALLED AT A HIGHER SPEED, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WAY AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE THREE TIME TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, ARMORY CHRYSLER IN ALBANY, NY. SINCE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY HAVE MADE NO REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS MATTER FURTHER WITH CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES AND TO DATE THESE CONVERSATION HAVE PRODUCED NO RESULTS. *TR
