On Chrysler vans, rod consistently breaks on cylinder #1 because the bolt is too short. Only happens on cylinder #1, even though the exact same head, on the other side of the engine (which would be cylinder #6) does not break like #1 does consistently.

Upon driving at highway speeds of 70-80 mph, my van lost power suddenly. I was unable to steer because the engine cut off. It was a rapid speed decrease, I watched the tachometer drop in speed. I was in the fast lane and at a dead stop. A few minutes later I was able to restart the van and pull to the left shoulder of the freeway. I took it to a Chrysler dealer and they pulled 2 codes from the van's onboard computer. However, they tell me that they cannot pinpoint the problem without it occurring again. The same thing happen 3 years ago, again I was on a road trip traveling 70-80 mph in hot weather and the van lost power. Upon reaching my destination, I took the van to a Chrysler dealership, which at that time, could not pull any codes. After leaving the van for a week, I drove it back home. The van stopped twice, home is 400 miles from my destination. When I arrived home, I took the van to a local Chrysler dealer, and they pulled a code that indicated a misfire in cylinder #5. They cleared the code (don't know why. . . ), and they tried to duplicate the code. They could not. . . . The dealer charged me $50 and told me that since they could not duplicate the error code the car should be fine to drive again. Now, it happens again in the year 2003. . . Very concerned.

Leaking anti-freeze. Found blown head gasket.

The engine caught on fire.

Antifreeze was found under the car, an intial diagnosis was a blown head gasket.

While driving on highway travelling 65-70 mph all of sudden experienced loss of power. Noticed oil light came on. Had to coast down to the nearest exit ramp. Contacted mechanic and was told that he had a broken engine piston.

Consumer stated that vehicle just cuts off when she is driving between 30mph and 50mph, and the brakes just will not stop vehicle. Also the consumer wants the dealer to pick up the van.

Consumer was driving vehicle in water 18 inches deep on wet pavement, then vehicle would not start, towed to dealer. Dealer indicated that engine locked up. Consumer maintained that it was poor engine design since water is sucked up into engine which causes this problem.
