MY GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE HEATER AND RADIO WENT OFF WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. AT TIMES THE VAN JUST CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC BUT SO FAR I'M ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY RICK HENDRICKS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT THAT I NEEDED TO AN ALTERNATOR. HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED BY B&B AUTOMOTIVE ALONG WITH A TENSIONER. VAN STILL DOING THE SAME THING. ALSO, WHEN THE GAUGES START GOING CRAZY, THEY MAKE A TAPPING/TICKING NOISE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR BECAUSE THE VAN AT TIMES DID NOT START.. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO START, THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO GERALD'S TIRES AND BRAKES WHO TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. THIS MORNING WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED, THE VAN CUT OFF BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY BECAUSE I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. I LIMIT MY TRIPS TO GET GROCERIES OR DO ANY UNNECESSARY DRIVING BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF THE VAN CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC.

I HATE TO JUMP ON THE "STUCK GAS PEDAL " BAND-WAGON HERE BUT I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH. WHEN I GET IN THE VAN AND START IT THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK IN THE "UP" POSITION. NOW, ONCE I PRESS HARD ON IT, IT BREAKS IT FREE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON IT BREAKS LOOSE AND CAUSES THE VAN TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. NOW, IT DOES THIS VERY OFTEN, I WOULD SAY IT DOES IT ABOUT 60 TO 70% OF THE TIME. ALSO, IT WILL DO IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR EXAMPLE. IT WILL DO IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, THEN AGAIN AFTER I STOP TO GET GAS, THEN AGAIN WHEN I GET IN IT TO HEAD HOME FOR THE DAY. ANYTIME, WHEN I STOP AND SHUT OFF THE MOTOR, I RUN THE RISK OF IT GETTING STUCK WHEN I START IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY KNEW "EXACTLY" WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, NOW THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I HAVE NEVER LODGED A COMPLAINT ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS, AND IF THEY KNOW "EXACTLY" WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO WAS CASS BURCH CHRYSLER VALDOSTA GA. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT AROUND 25,000 TO 30,000 MILES. THE VAN NOW HAS 50,000 MILES. *TR
