WE BOUGHT THIS VAN FROM A DODGE/CHYRSLER DEALER IN LITTLE ROCK AR. WE HAVE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. BEING IN THE US AIR FORCE..I WAS SENT TO THE UK, AND SHIP MY VAN THERE. SO, MY PROBLEMS JUST GOT WORST WHEN THE EXTEND WARRTANY WAS NOT VALID IN THE UK. AT 45000 I HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH OF MY FRONT WINDOW REGULATORS. THE WINDOWS JUST WOULDN'T WORK. SECOND, MY KEYLESS REMOTE SYSTEM HAS STOPPED WORKING AND REPROGRAMMING DID NOT WORK. NOW, WE ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEM WITH OUR AC NOT WORKING. AFTER MANY HOURS OF REASEARCH, WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE AIR COMP. HAS AN WARRANTY ON IT UNTIL 70000. WELL, WE NOW HAVE 72000. SO WE ARE TRY OUR BEST TO FIGHT THIS. A LONG STORY SHORT..WE WILL NEVER BY A DODGE/ JEEP/ OR CHYRSLER CAR AGAIN. I DID CONTACT THE CHRYSTEL PEOPLE ON THESE ISSUES, AND OF COURSE NO HELP WAS PROVIDE EXCEPT A PHONE NUMBER OF A MILIRAY CAR SALE PERSON. THANKS CHYRSLER!!!*AK

STARTING LAST OCTOBER THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AFTER THE DOORS WERE OPEN FOR THREE HOURS. TWO MONTHS LATER THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AGAIN WHILE SETTING IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BEING DRIVEN FOR THREE DAYS. TOOK IT TO MY DEALER-THELEN CHRSYLER IN BAY CITY-AND AFTER CHECKING IT FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ABOUT TEN DAYS LATER AFTER SETTING IN THE GARAGE FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS IT WENT DEAD AGAIN. THELEN CHRSYLER PERFORMED A MORE THOROUGH CHECK AND APPARENTLY FIXED SOMETHING WHICH THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG, BUT STILL WASN'T CERTAIN THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PERMANENTLY REPAIRED. THE BATTERY WAS THOROUGHLY CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE OK. DROVE TO ARIZONA FOR THE WINTER AND IN FEBRUARY THE BATTERY AGAIN WENT DEAD AFTER THE VAN WAS SETTING FOR FIVE DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER WHILE LOADING THE VAN FOR THE RETURN TRIP HOME AND HAVING THREE DOORS OPEN FOR 2 OR 3 HOURS THE BATTERY AGAIN WENT DEAD. THE BATTERY WAS AGAIN THOROUGHLY CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE OK. ON EVERY OCCASION A QUICK JUMP BY A WRECKER SERVICE STARTS THE ENGINE AND IN 20 MINUTES EVERYTHING IS OK. AS LONG AS THE VAN IS DRIVEN EVERY DAY OR TWO WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM. BUT, IF THE VAN SETS FOR THREE DAYS OR LONGER OR IF THE DOORS ARE OPEN FOR 2 OR 3 HOURS THE BATTERY GOES DEAD. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THERE IS A VERY SLOW DRAIN IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT LEADS TO A DEAD BATTERY. THE PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY.
