When driving the vehicle will suddenly shut off. No warning of it about to happen just does. I lose steering and brakes and turns on only after time goes by or by removing negative terminal from battery. It's happened at 35mph and at 60 MPH. I've gone a week with no incident to having it happen dozens of times on a single trip. Very scary situation. Especially in traffic.

My chrysler 200 was purchased about two months ago since I purchased it from florida and I reside in alabama I was told by the local dealership in mobile that they could not diagnose or repair it because they have no history. My car is randomly stalling and loosing all power to engine when attempting to stop or slow down there is no codes on dashboard. Pcm was replaced still same issue. It is very likely this will cause an accident especially because there is no warning. It cut off tonight on my way home from work while I was driving at 35mph. This is dangerous

To start off the ABS and traction control will not stop turning off and on even after replacing everything . Almost all the time when it rains they will kick in the e brake and start grinding . No matter how many times I change the brakes and rotors and master control they never stop squeaking . Lastly almost all the electrical problems started after the alternator failed and I had to replace it . My speedometer just died on me today and I have no clue how that happened .

While driving my vehicle back the office from my lunch break, I made a right hand turn onto the main road and began to accelerate the vehicle with more gas. At about 35mph the car engine completely shut off and I had to coast to the side of the road with no power steering. I had to wait approximately 20 mins until my car would restart again. I was able to get back on the road until after another few hundred yards of driving the car stalled again completely. I was then forced to call a tow truck to have it taken to an auto shop.

Our airbag lights are on. We got notified by the dealership of the recall. But this matter regarding the wheel bearings is a serious matter. I've repaired my car 5 times all around the car. That's not normal. All of these vehicles have a similar issue in the rear end where when I'm driving and hit a bump, the rear end shifts left or right.

The vehicle stalls out - power is shut-off without any notice. The vehicle becomes tdisable while trying to drive. This occurs three times this year. The only way to get the vehicle operating again it to put in park and restart the car. The steering while locks up as well. I have to take the highway to work everyday. Most of the instances when this happens I'm not driving on the highway. The stalling of the car occurs when you drive about 2-3 miles. The car bears left and starts to stalled out. It lost power. Every time this problem occurred it happens while the car is in motion.
