Filed May 14, 2011 · Electrical · 59,260 miles · NC

In july 2010 this incident first occurred where driving with my 3 children in the car at appx. 5-10mph and approaching a stop sign the car stalled. I had no power steering or powerbrakes. The only light lit on the dashboard is the anti-lock braking system. I brought the car to a stop and it immediately restarted. In the fall of 2010 the same incident occurred 2-3 times and always under the same conditions while driving slowly appx. 10mph and approaching an intersection or stop sign. I brought these incidents to the attention of chrysler who said that they could find nothing wrong. In jan./feb. 2011 the stalling began to occur more frequently appx 3-4 and again under the same conditions;while driving slowly and approaching stop sign/driveway etc. Chrsyler again could find nothing. In march 2011 the car stalled while driving on a major road appx. 35 MPH and in the middle of a curve. I was able to control car and move to the side of the road and immediately it restarted. Chrysler dealership states at this point that possibly it is my "key chain" that is too heavy for the keyless component.(I have 1 key on it) I remove key and remain incident free for appx. 6 - 8 weeks until today. My 15 year old son who is a permit driver had the incident occur while going down hill at appx. 15 MPH. With him behind the wheel and me in the driver seat. We were able to finally stop the car and with me behind the wheel now we restarted the car! This is a serious problem.

We have had multiple electrical problems with the vehicle since we have had it. Most have been related to the sliding doors not completely shutting and reopening as if there was something in the way. The dealer can not find anything wrong with the door sensors. The most recent issues have been much worse. One time while driving down the road, all of the dashboard lights started flashing, the key in the ignition alarm started beeping (while driving with the key in), the radio went to 12:00 then reset it back to the correct time. This lasted about 3 minutes, then it was all done and working fine. 3 times that we had stopped at traffic lights the car just stalled. But it was able to restart right away. One time the car would not start up at all for a few minutes, then it started on the fifth try. Just yesterday, we had to have the van towed, my wife was driving, she stopped at a light and the car stalled but it would not do anything at all. The doors did not unlock, thankfully hers was still unlocked. The hazards would not work, all the interior lights would not turn on. We had it towed the dealer, where it did eventually start. The dealer replaced a module for the electronic key 1 week ago, but the issues have occurred still.
