2004 Dodge SprinterBody, doors & structure

The sliding door which is the only egress for passengers in the back of the van will not open. I have had it fixed 4 times and it continuously fails. I have talked to other sprinter owners and they have the same problem. Should there be an incident that required the quick evacuation of the van by passengers in the rear of the van they could be very seriously harmed. This is a very serious defect that chrysler will not acknowledge. *Tr

2004 Dodge SprinterEngine & cooling

Driving at freeway speed the vehicle losses power and the speed decreases to about 40 mph. I can pull over and turn of the motor for about 10 seconds and start up and the vehicle will reset and run fine until it does it again randomly. This is very dangerous especially when you are in the left hand lane and you are trying to get to a safe place to pull over. This has happened several times and I have replaced the turbo resonator 3 time on this truck. This is a plastic part and the body cracks from the vibration and pressure. *Tr
