I was traveling up the highway when all of my service lights illuminated and I lost complete engine power. I attempted to get my vehicle to the turning lane but it was difficult because of loss of power steering. I got it to the turning lane and tried to restart it several times. This lasted about 15-20 mins to no avail. My vehicle was towed to a local mechanic who could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. I then took my vehicle to the local chrysler dealership in the next town where they also could not duplicate my incident. The kept my vehicle for 2 weeks and still found nothing wrong, no codes or anything. My brake lights were also staying illuminated even after they unhooked the brake light switch. The dealership contacted the chrysler engineers for more help in diagnosing the problem. The engineers stated that they were 90% sure that it was the tpim (main computer). The same tpim was recalled in 2007 and was supposedly fixed. The tpim was not replaced due to uncertainty of the engineers and the dealership. I have had this vehicle since april of 2007. The vehicle stalled again on october 2, 2013, and october 8, 2013. On october 8, 2013 the vehicle would not restart for 10 minutes and was once again on the highway traveling at a rate of speed of 50 MPH.

On december 06, 2012 was stopped at a red light. Light turned green and I proceeded to accelerate, I then hear a loud thump and veh shut down. I looked under the veh only to find that my drive shaft had exploded and broke in two, falling to the roadway. Looked like a bomb went off under my veh. See that this is s recurring problem with this model. Why is their no recall??? If I were going at st higher rate of speed could of resulted in injury or lost of life. Why is dodge not taking responsibility??

Numerous times over the past few months I have pulled out of my driveway or out of a parking lot and my vehicle has stopped running,forcing me to pull over quickly before my steering locks up,which then requires me to put the vehicle in park and restart it.the vehicle was taken to my local dodge dealership on april 5th,2012 and on april 6th,2012 I was told they could not find a "code" to explain the issue and unless they kept it for several days to attempt to duplicate the problem there was nothing they could do. The vehicle actually stalled pulling out of a parking lot on the way to the dealership at a low speed. The vehicle does not stall at red lights while idling,only when pulling out onto the roadway. I have great concerns that I will be rear ended in an accident if this issue continues.
