Filed Mar 30, 2006 · Transmission · 104,000 miles · WI

A recall is listed on n.h.t.s.a. (national highway safety traffic association) for my vehicle make/model/year, for it's PCM-(power control module). However I did call chrysler, they told me that they do "VIN filtering" due to their selective "VIN filtering" my car's was not put on the list for the recall of the PCM-(power control module). My vehicle stalls shuts off out of the blue and shifts improperly in 2nd gear. The recall# 94v033000 was issued, however my vehicle was not included in the recall, because my VIN. My consumer protection agency, told me that my VIN, "fell threw the cracks". Because of this I am left with a unsafe car. I will be also filing safety complaints with my consumer protection agency about this issue/problem. My husband was almost in an accident yesterday (03/29/06) because it shut off on him on his way to his v.a. Apt. There were 4 cars behind him and a semi in front of him. It kills me to think what would have happened if the other cars didn't react in time. Thank god the other cars reacted fast enough, by turning into different lanes. As there was no place for him to pull off on.

Power control module for the transmission failed. As a result, vehicle stalled and shifted improperly. Recall 94v033000 was issued, however this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.

The car's computer, or ecu malfunctioned twice. No power was reaching the coil, hence there was no spark and the car would not start. At first the auto shutoff delay was replaced. But the day after the car was fixed, it once again stalled. It took one week to diagnose the problem: bad computer in the car. This might have been disastrous had it happened on the highway.

My neon backfires and loses power then stalls, does it driving at 55 or at 10. Wait 30 mins and it will start after backfiring several times. Our local chrysler dealer kept the car for 12 days and it did not stall so they said it was fine , also put through diagnositcs and found nothing. They also came to roadside with diagnostics and found nothing while it was stalled. However it is still doing the same thing. A friend has suggested oxygen sensor. If this is it , why didn't chrysler mechanics find the problem?? I spent over $300 and several stalled on the road hours because they could not diagnos a problem yet, the car would not run?? Please let me know what , if anything I can do to find oput what happened and what exactly is wrong with my 1995 neon. Thank you

Engine stalling due to moisture getting into the power module. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that item was not under a manufacturer's recall. Feel free to provide any further details.
