2010 chrysler t&c limited w/4.0l engine. Engine died while driving 40mph in traffic on 4-lane roadway. Lost all power including steering, brakes, and heat (in mn winter). Strong armed steering wheel to get vehicle to side of road (no shoulder; blocked right lane). Restarted and began driving again. Died twice more in the mile left to home. Some history: changed out battery on 01/19/2016 and experienced stalling when engine was still cold at stop signs. Never stalled while under power; only when coasting to stop sign. Ran okay when warmed up. Cleaned battery terminals, throttle intake and maf sensor. Finally stopped stalling after following one-time procedure of disconnecting battery for 10 mins, starting engine and letting it warm for 25 mins, all without touching the accelerator. Idea was to have onboard computer relearn engine settings. Worked for a week before stalling occurred today while in traffic on main thoroughfare. Wife now refuses to drive it. Will take it to dealer, but am sure they will tell me what they tell everyone else who has complained on this website ("can't find anything wrong!").
