Dashboard lights and alarms simultaneously blink on and off. Seems to be a short circuit in the wiring. Gas tank levels off at "empty", and the fuel gauge spins 180 degrees so that it is caught under the "resting stick" at 0, therefore, no longer reading the gauge. This happens while in motion and while parked.

Gauges worked immediately after starting the car, but slowly lost power to keep them on, and they went to the "key off" position. Nothing on the drivers armrest worked, no seat auto positioner, no window open, shut, or lock. Information panel overhead went dead (blank).

Vehicle stalls intermittently, usually at the worst possible time. I understand that this is large problem and affects many chrysler models. Forums have page after page of people with the same problem. It is the electrical connection to the pcm. Connectors become loose and cause vehicle to stall randomly. It is a manufacturer issue! Is someone going to have to die to get this problem resolved. I have put thousands…

Although no accident yet, i wanted to say that i have never received any notice from fca about the "customer satisfaction campaign" (because although the gas tank hangs under the rear bumper, year 2000 was not included in the "recall" trailer hitch deal). I bought it new and am still living at the same address. I also wanted to note that another issue with the gc is that the brake and tail lights often stop working.…

While running the heater with the fan going it started smelling like it was burning and then the blower quit running. It turned out to be the blower motor resistor. It had melted to the point of fusing the wires into the plastic which the resistor was made of. It was a fire hazard! The part cost us $270.00…
