Driving on a major highway when all of a sudden, I noticed my speed dropping. I pushed on the gas but got no response. Then traffic began to stop but I couldnt! My brakes did not work!!! I put my hazzard lights on and began to drift across 3 lanes of traffic because the steering also did not work!!!! I almost caused several accidents as I was unable to control my vehicle. I made it to the emergency lane and pushed the emergency break coming to a joilting stop. Once I caught my breath and stopped shaking, I was able to restart the vehicle. I then exited the highway and crept across town back to the dealer where I had just left getting my oil changed prior to this incident. They checked out the vehicle but found no bad codes or any other issue so there is no fix for something they could not re-create.. This is my 3rd journey (2010, 2011, 2015) and I believe this is an accident waiting to happen. I had no issues with the prior two years. I am terrified of driving this vehicle now especially noting so many other complaints of the same issue.
I purchased my vehicle in november 2015, just two weeks ago while stopped at a light my vehicle just turned off . When trying to restart my vehicle jolted then turned on, I took to the dealership they stated all it needed was a software update and it would fix it and that it would never happen again. While 4 days later it happened again this time the vehicle was in motion we were turning a corner and bam the car turns off again almost getting slammed by another vehicle. I had to help my.husband pull the wheel to turn, the steering wheel locked braked didn't work or accelerator. I opened a case with chrysler and they say they can't do anything for me. I really need help.with this some please help this is a unsafe vehicle

I have recieved 3 recalls and all of them the manufacturer just says to contact dealer for vehicle inspection and part repair. Its been 3 mos and poway dodge dealer said to wait till I got another recall notice that parts have been distributed. I am wondering if I need to have the accident before the company accepts responsability for repairs or worst deaths in my family. I have a two year old and an 8 year old to protect mr. Ceo/vp. First it was the breaks, then seat belt, now navigation system. I also have not been able to use one of the air condition vents in front seat cause its never circulated since I bought it. Was my car made on a friday before happy hour?
In dec 2015 I received a recall notice and was informed that another notice would be sent when I was to contact the dealer. This is for the anti-lock brake system. The 2nd notice was received in jan16. I called the dealer on 1/4 and 1/21/16 and was told they did not have and did not know when they would have the part to make the repair. They said they would take my name and number and put me on the waiting list and call me when the part was in. It is 3/1/16 and I had not heard from landmark dodge where I purchased the vehicle from and had been in contact with. I called them to see if they had the part and guess what they said they just happen to get 5 in today! However they could not schedule the repair until 4/1/16. We are talking about the brake system here. 4 months to do a repair that the manufacturer knew was required for safety sake. I really feel the federal safety agency should look into this. Also this is the 2nd recall on this vehicle and I have not even owned it for a year yet. The first was the engine beauty cover which we had to wait for that part on also. We have been forced to drive with a faulty anti-lock brake system control module on this vehicle for at least 3 months. And that was just since we were notified. This is unreasonable and a safety issue that really should be addressed. And I don't think the dealer was even going to call me back as they said they would.thank you.

Abs....braking failure....my brakes failed on 12/31/2015 shortly before 3pm, I was leaving a shopping center parking lot, a car was backing out, so I went to hit my brakes, and they went all the way to the floor without stopping or slowing down, I tried a second time but still nothing happened, so I as I got closer to the car, I veered away from it and bumped a pole to stop my car, I was going between 5-7 miles per hour, and the vehicle wouldn't stop. My vechicle had front end damage to the bumper and the hood, and not sure if the bumper or the hood pressed against the radiator, but that needed repair as well. My insurance company took care of the damage, I later found out while my vehicle was in the shop getting body work repaired, that there was a recall on my ABS, shortly after I received a recall notice in the mail. Not sure if that was the reason why my brakes failed, but they isn't any other explanation, my vehicle was only a little over 3 months old, and shouldn't have had that problem. After the bodyshop completed the body damage the insurance company towed it to the chrysler dealership where it was purchased and they refused the vehicle stating they would only fix it if I accept responsibility for the accident, and that I had to put it in writing for the insurance company, so that they insurance company wont make them reimburse them for the damages that they already paid for. (which didn't make any sense to me.. I am still waiting for somebody to accept the responsibility as to why I didn't have any brakes, and why the insurance company just didn't have the repair shop fix the brakes as well. ...even after all the front end damage I'm still confused as to why the airbags didn't deploy. Maybe there is a defect there as well.

Have received two notices regarding the defective anti-lock brake system module. Dealer says they will call when part is available. Should I be concerned for my safety? Why is this taking so long to resolve?
