All of my dash gauges go out at any given time. There will be a beep and then the speedometer and all the rest do not register. The ck engine light will be on and the fuel light. The power windows will not go down, the AC will not work, radio, and now head lights are being affected and nearly caused me to crash. I have been terrified !! I worked and saved to get a new ignition switch installed hoping since it powers so many places at once that it would work, but after $174.40 and a week without transportation I picked my car up today and after driving it about 15 miles it started doing the same thing. Now I am reading that many people are having similar problems with this make and model and finding your site gives me hope that maybe I will get some much needed help. Thanks for any help you can give to me it is greatly appreciated.

As with many other posts, the vehicle just shut down while driving on the parkway. Pulled off the road put the car in park restarted , waited a minute drove another 20 miles home , no problem. This has happened before in the driveway, or just leaving the house but never on the road. Have replaced ignition switch, both o2 sensors distributor cap, rotor and wires. Fuel pressure is good . Don't expect a fix from chrysler , there are many posts here and online with no fixes. Just thought I'd add my experience to the mix. Time for a new car!
