THIS VAN, SLIGHTLY OVER 1 YEAR OLD, HAS A HISTORY OF STALLING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING ON WITHOUT REASON AND OFF, RADIO BREAKING, TAPE PLAYER MAKING NOISE WHEN NOT USED AND THE BRAKES WENT OUT THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED, AND THE VERY NEXT DAY THEY WENT OUT AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND DEATHS. THIS IS SERIOUS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ACTIONS TAKEN BY NHTSA CONCERNING THIS AS I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER INSTANCES/COMPLAINTS OF STALLING, WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS AND SERIOUS BRAKE DEFECTS AND BREAKDOWNS ON NHTSA'S CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THAT NHTSA SHOULD GIVE MORE SERIOUS INVESTIGATIVE ATTENTION AGAINST DAIMLER CHRYSLER CONCERNING THE STALLING AND BRAKE PROBLEMS AS THIS IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER IT SEEMS ON A CONSTANT AND RE-OCCURING BASIS!
WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY GO ON AND OFF, AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN ON. ALSO, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN . DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND PROBLEM WAS FIXED AT OWNER'S COST. *AK
