My engine in my car just shut down in the middle of driving. I was told it was a recall and was fixed yrs ago but it has happened 3 times since. Twice after getting gas and one time driving in the school parking lot. Lost all control of power steering and time of engine trouble. Car started back up and engine light came on and went back of and back on. Also smelt burning wires but couldn’t find anything

I bought a 2005 Chrysler Pacific 3 weeks ago from a dealership.. Engine light came on and car was stalling when I was at a light. Took to a shop to get checked it was 2 censer's.but afterwards still light was on. They checked further the motor mounts and subframe are rusted bad. To a point dangerous.! Of course the place I bought it at refuses to do anything. Not happy!

My vehicles service engine light has been on for a few months. I got the vehicle serviced twice and each time the light would not go off. A night or two ago I was trying to back my vehicle and it wouldn't back I was on a leveled surface in my aunt's front yard. Instead when I would put it in reverse it would cut off each time. So thankfully I had enough room in front of me to pull forward. I thought this was the only problem but as of this morning I was driving and my car cut off in the middle of the road I was driving on level concrete turning to make a left turn. I thank god that there wasn't a carecoming up behind me. So now I'm dealing with a car that can't back or drive without cutting off.
