2016 Chrysler 300: engine stalls while driving

Filed Oct 15, 2019 · 8,400 miles · FL

After a recall was performed on 6/11/19 (u08) car started skipping sporadically upon acceleration. This lead to it stalling altogether sporadically upon accelerating from a stop. The dealer (autonation chrysler jeep pembroke pines) has not been able to reproduce the problem after 3 weeks and, because it does not show up in the computer, the dealer says it's like it hasn't happened. They have no idea of how to repair my car. It is still at the dealer. I have shown them a photo of the error message on my dashboard: shift to p then desired gear, and a video of the gearshift blinking in drive position. The only way the car will move when this happens is after I place the car in park and then back in drive. This is very hazardous as I am in traffic when this happens at a stop sign or stop light (especially in left turn lane). I do not drive on the expressway because of a fear of having to stop all of a sudden, and the car stalling. I have already experienced it skipping while on the expressway, which was scary. The dealer said they had sent a starcase to chrysler to assist in the repair, but when I contacted chrysler, they said no starcase has been filed. Even if the dealer is able to reproduce the problem, there will be no record of it in the computer. I believe the computer problem needs to be address, as well as the stalling hazard.

I was driving about 50mph and things started shutting down like the radio and the instrument panel said the car was going into power saving mode. I had about 5 miles to my destination and my car stalled right before I got there but I kept up my speed and was able to coast in. I tried starting it just to see and got nothing. Tow truck came about an hour later and I was able to start it to back it up but when I turned it off, it would not start again. Even being a woman I knew this was not a case of dead battery as it happened while driving. My car was towed to my mechanic and sure enough, the alternator was bad on a 4 year old chrysler with approximately only 30,000 miles! Apparently there is a recall already on my same year/make/model however "supposedly" the hemi's weren't affected.
