At 112,000 miles vehicle started loosing rpms at all speeds and conditions, usually after being driven for 30 miles or more. Sudden onset, no prior indication. Entire car shakes then at times stalls in heavy or no traffic, particularly at any inclines. Today I merged into heavy interstate traffic and vehicle suddenly stopped. The fuel pump has been replaced and no one has been able to offer any help as to what else it may be. I have found various forums with this make, model, year with the same exact problem with no solution indicated. This is the most common problem with this vehicle according to 3 major sites and at least 4 mechanics, often occurring on brand new vehicles. Dodge has been notified. There may not have been an accident yet but it will most likely happen.

First time car shut down was on the freeway at the time had no clue what was going on had power to every accessory but engine was not running. Nearly missed being hit by a truck as I merge over to emergency lane. Took it to the dealer found that it was my fuel pump asd fuse kept blowing they voided my warranty stating an air intake was the problem. The intake purchased is c.a.r.b legal and does not have anything to do with my electrical problem. I have not replaced anything as of now. I do fear that I will be involved in a major accident if it keeps shutting down on the freeway.
