What owners say
The car would not start (battery dead). Replaced the battery and the next day the battery was dead again. Took it to the repair shop thinking it was the alternator and the tech did a check and came back with a bad power module. Car can't be driven as the battery drains in just a few hours. The tech stated that he did a check on the VIN number and it came back with a recall for the power module, which I can't verify.
Car runs fine one day then will not start at random times, turn the ignition get no sound from engine. Dash lights come on, fan and radio comes on but car will not start. Wait a few hours or a few days, it cranks right up as intended. Electrical system has been checked and always show good results.
On my way to work having just passed several cars, traveling @70+ miles/hr. On the interstate, I noticed wobbling & the loss of control & immediately moved to the right lane & steered towards the right shoulder of the highway, thanking god for no accident. I put the gear in~park~turned the ignition switch off & checked the exterior to notice my newly purchased rear passenger tire was prematurely blown(recently purchased tires). I called a tow truck(2nd time this march month because it wouldn't crank in my driveway): upon their interstate arrival, I learned that the electronic control system/engine had shutdown with an 'inability to put the car in neutral gear or any gear in order for them to tow it. This is the 3rd time the engine has locked like this. The car has been in the shop for 8(eight) months now since march 23, 2015 & the chrysler mechanics are in 'awe' as it seems to be irrepairable. I have been without transportation since march, 2015. Chrysler company, please help me with this dangerous problem: I & others could have been killed on the interstate & I have been towed three times because the electronic stability shutdown, but this has been the longest & worst. In the past, I have had the hood-ceiling, ignition switch replaced & before this, I was about to have the silver outside window borders replaced. There has to be a recall on this electronic system just shutting down while I am in the midst of driving as this being the 3rd time shutting down & I do have a new battery, therefore that is not the problem. Help! Help! Help! [note: crossfire in shop 8+ months/ I am without my car! Please let me hear from you concerning this serious & dangerous matter! It is the mercy of god that there was no accident during the rush/work morning traffic on the interstate, monday, march 23, 2015. Help! Please!
Ignition sticks. At times wheel will not turn and car will not start. Don't know if it can lock up while the car is operating. Numerous on-line complaints appear regarding the crossfire wheel lock and ignition malfunction. Recall before it causes accident would be warranted.
Thia car's problem may be withthe ignition. Sometime's it just will not start. We put a new battery in it only to find that the battery was not the problem. It has been to repair three times. They did a thorough check and found nothing wrong each time. The first time the car had to be towed. They said they did not experience the problem when they had the car. It wasdriven back home. Another time the car just stopped on the highway (at 35mph) downtown atlanta in heavy traffic. I'm afraid to drive it because it may either stop or just not start.

Car wouldn't start several times since purchase. The battery was fully charged, took it to a chrysler dealer who "cleaned up some grounds". The lights, stereo, etc worked but the motor didn't even make a sound when trying to start. One time when it did start I was making a turn when the car completely died...I didn't realize it at first because the heater, radio, panel were all lit up and working. I was very lucky to be able to make it safely to the side of the road. Had to have the car towed back to the garage. When they started working on it, the panel behind the glove box started smoking. I now have a very nice, useless little car with only 50,000 miles on it because #chrysler can't fix it for me.
