While driving on an urban street at 30 miles per hour the car lost power, and then accelerated, and then failed completely. It would not start, but after waiting a short time, it did start. When I took it to the dealer 2 sensors, associated with the throttle control module, were replaced. Ten months later it recurred - was "fixed" , and now it has occurred for the third time.

I switched my car off to pump gas. When I got into my car to turn in the car my key the motor wouldn't turn over. Its like my car just powered off. My key was very loose out in the ignition and it wasn't making click sounds like it normally did after you switch the key out of the lock position. My car had to be towed to the dealership and the dealership said my ignition housing was shattered. My car was working perfectly fine the entire day. Chrysler dodge jeep have been having recalls on the ignition switches. I think this problem should be investigated.
