 Description of the problemAt 35,000 km with in warranty period check engine light came up. Went to dealer, they found cylinder # 5 misfired. Accordingly to dealer this was repaired by certified tech and van was in garage for 1 week. Then this van started stalling engine at 99,000 km approx. The engine stalls and no code is registered at low speeds and turns. Finally one day check engine light came up 0406 code came in while checking. My mechanic cleaned egr valve changed gaskets. It run fine bur still after couple of months the engine stared stalling occasionally. Leaving steering wheel hard to control and no breaks. At 135,00 the engine stopped running. Took to garage 2 cylinders were dead, have to spend $ 4,000 to get a used motor in this to bring it back to road. Changed timing belt, waterpump and extended warranty it did run fine for 6-7 months. It again started stalling at various speeds while driving, i searched, there are over 100 complaints and no solution. Went to mechanic many times but no code is stored but still van engine stall. It stalls even at 60 km/hr speed making it dangerous to operate on road. I can rear end or can get rear ended as it stalled. Most dangerous happened when it stalled while making a left turn and luckily the on coming traffic was bit far away and person was alert to stop safety without hitting. I am afraid if this happens again and a truck is coming straight. Dodge is not taking any responsibility or investigation for this issue. I will like saftey authorities to take action and save lives. It is not safe to keep driving this van but have no choice as there is no solution provided by manufacturer and have not much money in hand to buy another. Engine issue, front break issue are the main issues in this. Most importantly the sudden engine staling at any speed is a dangerous issue to have
