What owners wrote
The vehicle stalls and has trouble starting at times, the steering pulls and caused 1 accident and almost caused 2 more accidents, sliding door doesn't open with key fob or push button in vehicle at times. Brought to dealer 2 times for issues to date. There r recalls for these issues but not for my specific van. It's affecting more than th one listed for recalls
Driving at 45 MPH in very light traffic, the power steering on the vehicle failed in 'turning traffic' making it near impossible for my wife to physically be able to correct the direction of the vehicle. She came to a complete stop as the vehicle was unresponsive with an error being reported on the driver information center located center/dash where the error reported was that there was a power steering failure and the vehicle should be taken to a chrysler dealer for immediate service.
