Car completely shuts down on us. No hesitation, no warning just completely shuts off while driving, park, reverse or at standstill! Have taken it to mechanics and to chrysler 3 times and the can not figure out why it's shutting down! This happens several times daily.

Last year p57 recall was performed on my vehicle now they told me that the tipm module is going bad I believe that that was replaced or should have been replaced when the recall p57 was performed I don't know why they would not replace it now I'm being told that I have to pay $1691 for parts and labor there is a class action lawsuit against chrysler this is a real problem for some reason they have not put in a recall and the recall p57 did not fix the problem it is very unsafe the car stalls out in the middle of driving sometimes it will not start at all it is obviously an ongoing issue since 2007 but for some reason chrysler refuses to issue a recall this is the third recall that I have had to get done on this vehicle in a year the s43 was never sent to me the only way I found out about that recall is when I call chrysler about my car stalling and not starting at all I need someone to look into it I don't see why I should have to pay for a faulty product that is in millions of vehicles by the chrysler dodge and jeep brand
