This van, slightly over 1 year old, has a history of stalling, windshield wipers going on without reason and off, radio breaking, tape player making noise when not used and the brakes went out the first time, i was told it was fixed, and the very next day they went out again almost causing a serious accident and deaths. this is serious and i would like to know actions taken by nhtsa concerning this as i have seen many other instances/complaints of stalling, windshield wiper problems and serious brake defects and breakdowns on nhtsa's customer complaints on the internet. i believe that nhtsa should give more serious investigative attention against daimler chrysler concerning the stalling and brake problems as this is putting people's lives in danger it seems on a constant and re-occuring basis! | |||
