Took car to dealership several times because of vehicle being hard to start, or stalling for no reason. No problems were found. No attempt was made to discover the problem. Car would stall after being driven on hot day, stall while trying to make a turn, stall when stopped for light,etc., sometimes it would be hard to start. Had to place my foot on the accelorator and quickly shift into reverse to get the car going. Finally, after warranty expired, vehicle lost power while driving at about 30 MPH and while engine had been sitting all day. The car could not be started. The dealership replaced the distributor at a cost of $900.00 to me. Dealership no help. Told that the car was too far out of the warranty eventhough I had reported similar problems during the warranty period. Have had many other problems with this car as well. Too many to list. Almost all component are involved at some point. Could the federal safety agency do anything. There seems to be a widespread problem. Other car owners are having the same difficulty. I'm sure that eventually the cause of their cars stalling will end up being the distributor as well.

Vehicle has been to 2 different dealerships. The first was freedom dodge of lexington and the replaced the ABS modular. The problem we were having with the car is that we could be traveling at 55 MPH or 5 MPH and the car would stop running. Resulting no power. Freedom could not find the problem, so we took it to superior dodge and the did a software update to the computer and still same problems happened. Installed a co-pilot and found the dist. Cap sensor was bad. Replaced, picked the car up and within 24 hours the car stalled 5 times. This vehicle has been in the shop now 9 times, going on 10. I need to know the next steps to take. This is a saftey issue. I could kill someone, or be killed in the vehicle.

I was on the highway going home when all of a sudden my car gave a loud bang and smoke started coming out of the hood. The car had stalled and I got to the side of the road. Flames where shooting out of the engine compartment. I was told by the mechanic who finally looked at the car that one of the cylinders had gone through the side wall and caused the fire. I have since learned that there was a recall on the engine. To be more precise the galley plug, I would like to find out if anyone had serviced my car on the recall. If they haden't then maybe that is what cause the problem, I really would like to know.
