Sometimes while driving the car just shuts off with out warning and starts right up after turning off ignition and restarting. It appears to be some issue with the electronic key fob or ignition connection. Of course when a mechanic looks at the issue it seems to work. Scary and dangerous. Happened since we bought it off & on.

The only power I have is from the key fob to unlock/lock the door open the trunk and the head lights work. But my radio doesn't work, locks, windows, horn, or anything else. When I turn the key fob to start its just dead with no power or crank. I did notice over the past few day that when I started my car that there was a longer delay before it would start. Had the tipm replaced but it still will not start, was told that the win is bad and not part of the recall. With no win module then there is no ignition, chrysler is aware of the issue with the win but do not want to fix it.

Since the first occurrence, this has happened many, many times .. The engine will not turn over either with the key fob in the ignition or remotely. At times I have had to keep attempting to start the car for as long as 20 minutes before it finally turns over. You can hear something that sounds like electrical relays in the rear of the car, but the engine doesn't seem to engage. Other issues: on one occasion, the car stalled while at a stop light. On several other occasions, while sitting at a stop light, it seems the rear axle is making a "clunking" sound and it feels as though the transmission is downshifting without any input from the driver. I bought this vehicle used a couple of years ago.
