What owners say
Driving under certain conditions the vehicle engine completely shuts off and stalls. This happens on the highway, mostly at speeds of about 45-60 MPH. The two recalls available on the vehicle as it relates to this issue (TCM/PCM ) ( ignition switch) have been recently fixed by the dearlership, however the vehicle continues to mulfunction in the same manner and appears to be getting worse. Contacting chrysler, they are abrasive and uncooperative. A little research shows that there are several owner complaints on this very issue dating back to 2006-2007-2008. There appears to be an "active" investigation ongoing by the federal safety agency-office of defects investigations. What is the status of this investigation-10 years later??? There appears to be no interest on the part of the manaufacturer to address this issue without the vehicle owner incurring massive loses in endless diagnostic and repair expenses.
Several times over a couple of months this vehicle has stalled while driving and has almost caused several accidents. Auto shops cannot identify the problem.
