I went to the local 7-11 less then 1 min. By car to get something. Car was quiet & smooth running like it should be - since I maintained my car & took extra special care of it since it is my car & has my handicap plates on it. I pulled out of the parking lot of the 7-11 - came to a red light, was 1st car at red light- light changed to green, went to apply gas, car stalled - was able to get the car restarted- when it did restart, the car was now making a funny noise coming from the front end. Went to apply gas, could feel that the car wanted to stall again - was able to slowly apply gas, and then be able to coast down the little hill to my side street & able to get the car safely into my driveway. I was very lucky I wasn't rear ended at the light- the road on which it stalled they have a 40 mph speed limit- I was also very lucky my child wasn't in the car with me. The failure of this only happened once- because the car was towed from my home to the dealership - where it still sits almost 1 year later - this engine failure is a Chrysler issue - they are the ones that are responsible to pay for the car repairs & replace the engine - considering the fact they have known of this problem with their engines for many many years & still continue from what I have read by doing google searches on this 2. 7l v6 engine. You are the national highway traffic & safety commission and have the pwer to recall these engines before someone dies from driving these cars with these engines or before a child is seriously injured or worse-.

Complete engine failure at 78, 895 miles due to oil sludge build up (December 2004). Had a remanufactured engine put in 2/21/2006 when I could finally afford it and Chrysler would do nothing about it. I used only synthetic oil in the replacement engine and had it changed every 3000 miles and yesterday (9-1-2008), it started making a funny noise. I had it towed to a repair shop today to be safe, and the verdict is I need a new engine - again due to oil sludge.
Dt vehicle has stalled twice, called to make an appointment to bring the vehicle in by that time it had overheated. Took vehicle to the dealer, they said thermostat was bad, and they replaced it. Then it did it again. Called a tow truck, they took vehicle to the dealer. Tthey needed to bleed the line. Got the vehicle back and the engine light came . Currently, was making funny sounds. In the book it said if the light was on it could be engine problems. The vehicle is at dealer.
