After having clock spring changed from recall, vehicle will stall while driving down the road and automatically start back up on its own. It will do this from a coasting speed to highway speeds of 70 mph. There is no warning!! I don't know if its from the clock spring or another issue. Had to 2 different deals and personal friend that has the obdii computer and it does not kick or store a code, even when hooked up to the computer! I have a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan, 3. 3l with the flexfuel engine.
I have contacted Chrysler on several occasions requesting them to state in writing the cause of the fire. They will not tell me the cause; however, they are real quick to state that they are not responsible. This is a newer vehicle with all original components installed directly from their assembly plant. All I know is that we were driving the vehicle a fire stated in the engine and I was without a vehicle for over two weeks. I am getting nothing but the run around from this company. They are trying to avoid my requests. I have contacted your office three times once via phone and once via internet and have yet to hear anything. It has now been 30 days since your agency was originally contacted. Kindly help in a timely fashion.
