When driving on the dash board where it shows your MPH below. All the lights will flash on engine, battery, oil, air bag, seatbelt, gas. All will flash on instant deceleration instant slow down. The dials will go up and down wild. Over 5 years ago this happened the dealer would only replace when the dash board stopped working completely. Finally it stopped working I had it replaced under extended warranty. 3 moths ago it started happening again. Flashing lights, all dials going up, down, and around. Yesterday I had severe deceleration on the freeway. Extremely scary and unsafe. I pulled all the way over and drove in the slow lane. Looking/reading on here there are 4 other people from all over the united states with the same complaints. I wrote a complaint on here over 4 years ago. There is something seriously wrong with this vehicle. It needs to be looked into from a outside party. There needs to be a recall before someone is driving on the freeway and the car completely stops. There needs to be a remedy at chrysler expense.

When randomly driving all the lights on the dashboard go crazy, the fuel gauge goes to empty even when it's a full tank, the car loses power and the engine starts to stall... It's very scary because where I drive there are busy highways and I'm scared too death I'm going to get killed or kill someone.

When driving all lights on dash will come on, gauges will go off and on, and the engine has died in the road several times. The time it dies while driving is scariest part it has so far restarted after getting off road. Afraid when someone is following too close they will hit us or I hit them as I travel on the frwy 120 miles a day. Many people seem to have this go on. Chrysler fix this or I will have a class action lawsuit. Should fix before customers are killed! This has been ongoing problem since about 90,000 miles it has 132,000 now I have taken car to multiple mechanics and no one can find out was wrong. Engine died and restarted today on the freeway 3/2/16.

When driving all lights on dash will come on, gauges will go off and on, and the engine has died in the road. Some times air conditioner will fail to work for days at a time then suddenly work again. Key switch seems to be loose inside and will not stay in position. The time it dies while driving is scariest part it has so far restarted after getting off road.

On numerous occasions while driving, all the lights on the panel starts flashing, all the gages go to zero and the car slows down, sometimes coming to a complete stop. When it slows, it seems to kick back into gear and I am able to drive normally. At times, I have to put to pull off highway completely and turn off engine for a minute or so before starting it again. It is happening so frequently now that even pulling off to shut it down for awhile is no guarantee that it won't start acting up.. This is a common occurrence, on the 16th of october was the last time I experiencedthe pproblem.

All lights on instrument panel flashes on-off. Sometimes the gauges will zero-out and go back to normal position. Sometimes when the lights flash and gauges zero-out, there will be a quick power loss. Maybe 2-3% of the time power loss will be substantial almost needed to pull over. More often than not, it seems to happen more in the heat and possibly rain or day after a heavy rain.

All warning lights come on, gauges on speedometer & tach spin around, fyi: coil had been replaced one year prior.( vehicle then shuts off.) the dealer performed complete inspection of ignition and fuel injection system. No problems found. Removed cylinder again to inspect for any internal failure & internal components are ok. Replaced injector as safety measure. Reassembled, drove and no further engine lite found. I have documentation up until a new transmission was installed on 9/29/14. This is an ongoing prob with exact same concerns and codes either don't showup at the dealer or are not accurate. As of today my car is doing the same things and just spent $2500 for new transmission that I feel it never needed in the first place. I feel the codes are not reading properly. Help !!! Have no more money to put into car; it has only 29,000 miles right now. Afraid I'll get rear-ended so only use on side streets even though I have freeways accessible to me. Please this car is our only transportation; either needs to be recalled or fixed and no charge and reimburse me for $$$ spent. Thank you for your help I desperately need.
