Description of the problem	Vehicle stalls during parking lot manuvers on numerous occasions. Going from reverse to drive it stumbles and or stalls. Vehicle bought in june of 2003. 1rst time it happened was in august of 2003. Took vehicle in and they "flashed" the pcm. Continued to happen about every three months up to the present. Have had it into the dealer on a couple of other occasions since. They were not able to fix. Happened again in february, a few days after it was at cerritos dodge. Called the service rep there, alfonzo cuadra, he said that i would be wasting my time bringing it back in again. He said that it is a known problem and there is no fix available. He said that there would be a new flash in the "near future" and he would call me when it was in. Still no call. There is a dangerous issue. Was almost hit in a parking lot the last time that it happened. I don't feel like this is a safe vehicle and chrysler doesn't seem to care.
