MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY DURING TURNS, AND DOES NOT WANT TO RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WHEN I CHECKED INTO, IT SAYS I HAVE NO UNREPAIRED RECALLS.

NHTSA ODI 11232427

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR ALMOST SHUT OFF ON ME AND I PULLED OVER SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON AND IT WAS FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEN MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF AND SAYS SERVICE PARK BRAKE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION. IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I LOOKED ON THE THREADS ONLINE TO SEE WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING SINCE THEY FIRST PURCHASED THEIR VEHICLE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A CAR TRY TO SHUT OFF ON YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR 30 MINUTES OR MORE AND I TURN IT OFF, IT WILL NOT RESTART FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES OR MORE. IT HAD LEFT ME STRANDED AS WELL AS CAUSED ME TO BE LATE FOR WORK JEAPORDIZING MY JOB AND MY SAFETY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I CANNOT TRADE IT IN BECAUSE THE BLUE BOOK VALUE IS LESS THAN WHAT I OWE. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR THIS VEHICLE BY BUYING IT BACK AT THE PRICE I PAID. SOMETIMES THE DASH SAYS 'ENGINE WARMING UP, PLEASE WAIT.'

THE CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE IN MOTION ON BOTH THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND EVERY DAY LAST WEEK, MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER 20+ MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING. AFTER IT STALLED TODAY IT WOULD NOT START FOR 45 MINUTES. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE BASICALLY WASHED THEIR HANDS OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AT THIS POINT. THEY STATE THE RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLETED. YET THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL THAT WAS DONE TO FIX THE ORIGINAL ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP EITHER TURNING OR STRAIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING & THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR MOMENTUM TO SAFELY PULL OVER. I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH HAZARDS ON AT NEIGHBORHOOD STOP SIGNS, IN STOPPED TRAFFIC AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, FREEWAY ON RAMPS, IN THE CENTER OF SMALL & LARGE INTERSECTIONS BLOCKING TRAFFIC, ON RAILROAD TRACKS, & MORE. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 TRIES FOR THE ENGINE TO RESTART. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, & I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE A NEWER CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES DIES EVERY DAY, OFTEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY & THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY ONCE IT RESTARTS. THAT ALSO HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY UPON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I DO HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS, BUT CAN NOT UPLOAD THEM. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE OF ONE OF THE VIDEOS, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY & HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, THERE WERE A FEW INCIDENTS MONTHS APART, THEN IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT, & FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

MY OIL WAS RECENTLY CHANGED 2/28/2019, THE OIL IS 3 MONTHS OLD AND I'VE ONLY DRIVE 2,133 MILES SINCE. MY CAR TAKES FULL SYNTHETIC OIL AND SHOULD LAST FOR 6,000 MILES. I CHECKED IT TODAY 6/12/2019 AND MY CAR TELLS ME I HAVE 66% LEFT AND I DO NOT I NEED TO GET A OIL CHANGED EVEN BEFORE HITTING 3,000 MILES BECAUSE THERE IS NONE LEFT. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN 3/4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS. A FEW MONTHS BACK I GOT THIS CHECKED OUT BY MY MECHANIC AND EVEN A SECOND MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THAT THE PISTONS RINGS ON MY CAR ARE BAD AND IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, THERE IS NO LEAK ETC. SO MY CAR CONSTANTLY RUNS OUT OF OIL BEFORE ITS TIME TO CHANGE IT AND IS CAUSING MY CAR TO CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND EITHER CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES OR GET RID OF THE CAR. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO CONTINUOUSLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT. SO I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM I'VE HAD FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF WITH HOPES FOR A SOLUTION

FIRST PROBLEM: THE CAR STALLS AND/OR DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SHE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO GET IT STARTED AND DRIVE IT HOME BUT IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (?) WERE ALL ON. SECOND PROBLEM: THERE IS A MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMES ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WIT THE SAME PROBLEM. ON THE YELLOW WIRE BOX UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, THERE WAS A BLACK LATCH (?) THAT CLICKED WHEN I SQUEEZED. THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY.
