CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON IN DASH AND CAR JUST SUDDENLY STALLS. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS AND LATELY HAS STALLED ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. THIS HAPPENS FOR NO KNOWN REASON. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND HE CANNOT FIND ANY READING ON THE COMPUTER THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS. THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER A SIMILAR RECALL ON THIS CAR BACK IN 1993 FOR A TRANSMISSION HARNESS FAILURE. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT IS ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL VEHICLE. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY WHILE TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 65MPH, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.*AK

THIS IS THE THIRD FAILURE IN FOUR YEARS. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS FIXED BY A DODGE DEALER. BOTH REPAIRS WERE DONE BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. WHEN IS WAS ISSUED I WAS TOLD I DID'T NEED TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN . I WAS JUST TO SEND MY PAPER WORK AND BILLS TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER FOR RE-IMBURSEMENT .WHICH THEY DID. THIS THIRD TIME I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL HAD FAILED ONCE AGAIN. I HAD THE WORK DONE BY HIM RATHER THAN TAKING IT TO DODGE.THEY DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT THE LAST TIME AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH OUR CLOSEST DODGE DEALER . WE HAVE HAD TO TAKE OUR REPAIRS BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. ALSO WE HAVE BEEN FACED WITH RUDE EMPLOYEES AND A SERVICE MANAGER THAT TOLD US MAYBE IF WE DID MORE BUSINESS WITH THEM WE WOULD BETTER SERVICE. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT RE-IMBURSE ME THIS TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T USE A DODGE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? IS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL FAILURE ON GOING? WILL I ONCE AGAIN IN TWO YEARS HAVE TO HAVE IT FIXED?*AK
