Multiple occurrences of dead battery / loss of power. Checked that no accessories had been left turned on. Have taken vehicle to dealer with each occurrence because even with charging / jump starting battery, battery loses charge after a few days. Found recall info on the federal safety agency web site, provided this to dealer, dealer claims there is no recall, even stated that the print out we provided from the federal safety agency was fake, claims they cant find any issue with vehicle and informs us that it is owner error. I would like to know how long I have to put up with this nonsense before it will be addressed. Do I have to wait until the vehicle is completely useless or issue causes vehicle accident?

While driving, I experienced a jerking from the car when I press on the gas and when I come to a complete stop. After doing this for awhile it became even more noticeable. One night while driving the vehicle on the interstate, I felt the jerking again and a stalling when pressing the accelerator. The car the shut off on me in the middle of the interstate. I had to immediate start it back again and the malfunction indicator light came on and stayed on until the next day I took it in to the dealership. Was informed then that it was a transmission problem but they wont be able to fix it. They gave the vehicle back in the same condition except for the malfunction indicator light. I took it to another dealership the next week and they noticed the same thing and said the same thing and that chrysler wouldn't authorize them to fix it. I notified chrysler as well and they couldn't give me an answer as to why. Brand new vehicle purchased in january that has lost power while driving and keep been told its the transmission. I still have to drive the vehicle because its my only means of transportation but its still bad.
