AT THE SAME TIME THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NO OTHER APPARANT SIDE EFFECTS (I.E. A/C STILL WORKS, BELTS INTACT, FUSES OK). OCCURRED WHILE OPERATING WITH PASSENGERS (AGE 5 AND 5-MOS. OLD) - WHY WOULD CHRYSLER CORP. ALLOW SUCH AN APPARANT SAFETY HAZARD TO EXIST? THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED AND HAS JUST OVER 40,000-MILES - IS THIS ALL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS ARE GOOD FOR? RECALL?*AK
