3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2006

I bought this van new in April 2006. The van came with an e. O. M. Roof a/c which is the cause for the vehicle stalling when decelerating. The first time this happened was about 2 months after we bought the van. I reported this incident to the dealership and was told that Dodge was aware of it and would issue a recall as soon as it has a fix - it never did. The current odometer reading is 35,125 miles. The van was mostly driven short distances as I use it mainly to transport my wheelchair bound daughter to and from doctors and hospitals visits. Time went by until it happened again. It appeared that the stalling, the engine suddenly shut off when the roof a/c is running while the engine is at a certain temperature. I contacted Dodge which told me that my warranty had expired. It would cost approximately $1000 to install the "rear a/c idle cutout module". After doing some researches, I found out that there was a Dodge service bulletin # 24-001-2009 dated April 24, 2009 with subject: idle instability - rear a/c idle cutout module installation. In my opinion the stalling was caused by a design flaw which the manufacturer should fix regardless of the warranty time limit. Could you help us with this issue?.
