1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2003

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!!!.
