This problem has happened to me 3 different times. And the last time was back in november 2014. While I am driving my vehicle stalls, my brakes lock up and my steering wheel looses power with the rest of my car except my radio. This is extremely scary because I am putting my life and others in danger. And chrysler says there is no problem because it doesn't show up on diagnostic. But when you pull up recalls and defects. The problem is right there. When this problem happens. I have to turn off my keys and restart the vehicle for it to work again. But you never know when this is going to happen there are no warning signs.

On four separate occasions my vehicle has shut off while driving at 55 or 65 miles per hour on a highway. All the lights in the dash come on and go out and the car coasts for a period of time and then the car kicks back on without warning. In one instance I was almost in an accident because I was going down a hill and could not stop because the vehicle shut down. I contacted the dealership and they could not duplicate the issue however they indicated that there was a recall on the brake system and they updated the computer. They indicated that this should stop the problem, but it did not. The problem still exist, in fact on friday, january 23, 2009 it happened again and my 2 year old was in the car and it was an experience I will not forget. The car completely shutdown while coming thru an intersection because the light was changing and I could not stop because there was no power fortunately the light was quick and the car's power came back on. I immediate contacted the dealership, since that time the car has been with the dealership because I refused to drive it because it is unsafe. Meanwhile chrsyler's customer service has been rude and not willing to address the problem, the dealership cannot duplicate the problem and chrsyler cannot offer any response.

2-3 times a week my car's electrical just shuts down while driving. A/c everything. It started with just the tpm gauge going off saying it was a flat but has now escalated to all the electrical in the car. I purchased this car in april 2008 even though it is an 2007 model , I have taken it about 3 times to the dealership, no one has been able to find the problem. I have had witnesses in the car when this has occurred. I am worried this could be a safety issue as it is a distraction and also I feel this could lead to the whole car shutting off. Please help
