I have been fighting the same probem for more than a year now. Nobody can tell me what is wrong. I found this and thought I might finally resolve it but the dealer has no Idea what an "Ignition Recall Switch" is. It was suggested it is a part on the instrument cluster but they want to replace the whole thing. Does anybody know what this is or where it is located. I don't want to throw hundreds of dollors of parts at the problem just to find later that it is still not fixed.

Sorry, never heard of an "Ignition Recall Switch".
 
Some cars used to (still do?) have a roll over switch that would cut power to the fuel pump in the event of a rollover or other severe accident. Problem is that, on occasion, those switches would open up on a very hard bump (think a deep pothole), disabling the car until it was reset.
 
I have no idea if the Chrysler minivans have something like this or not.

1997 Chrysler T&C studders occasionally by eenns

Plugs and wires are all new as well as fuel filter. But our van studders like every five minutes or so at random. Any ideas before I start dumping money in again?

Have you run some fuel system cleaner through it? It might clear up the injectors, if one or more are gummed up at all.

I bought a new 2008 T&C and it has been nothing but trouble. The brake pads on the new T&C on lasts about 15000 and possible rotors too as I had to replace both.
I have had wheel bearing go out, A/C, radio several times, thief switch bad which took 3 weeks to replace, back rear cover buckled, gear shift was very noisy, lots of air leakage causing you not to be able to hear radio, and several times the electron key has failed (once at Mount Rushmore). I had owned T&C and Dodge carivan before and they were great but stay away from new ones. Too much electronics and poor craftmanship. Just check out all the infor at this site.
