Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Consumer states that engine stall at anytime. Cause is unknown. Please provide any further information.
Fuel pump is going out, vehicle stalls due to not enough fuel being pumped in.
When driving at any speed the vehicle won't go into reverse and the vehicle is stalling and jerking due to the transmission going out.
I have lost two starter engines in 90,000 miles, which appear to be component design flaws. The chronic stalling problem surfaced at 5,000 miles, and the chrysler technical center could not diagnose the problem. Stalling has occurred while driving the vehicle at <25 MPH (during left or right hand turns), which I believe is a safety hazard. Several times, a dealer cleaned the throttle body housing, but the problem would reoccur frequently. I notice that there are more than 10 technical service bulletins for the idle control motor, the fuel pump, stalling immediately at cold start, stalling after the transmission is placed into gear, etc. I believe that my vehicle is a lemon and dodge/chrysler has not dealt with me fairly.
Vehicle stalls and knocks. Owner was informed that the vehicle needed a forward and a direct clutch drum and a torque converter.
Vehicle stalls frequently while idling or driving. Seems to occur when the weather is cool or cold, and when moisture is in the air, rain or fog.
A week after purchasing the vehicle used the engine started stalling when going around corners or on inclines, and sometimes the engine dosen't start right back up.
While starting the vehicle the rear window shattered for no apparent reason. Also, having defective transmission which blew out, causing the vehicle stall out which can result in an accident.
Vehicle stalls mostly during the summer , at least a couple times a week. This problem occurs when letting off the accelerator at any speed.
Fuel pump failed, causing vehicle to stall.
The transmission gets stuck in second and causes stalling. Please describe. Tt
