WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND GIVES ME A MESSAGE ON THE CLUSTER TO, "SHIFT TO PARK TO START". WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT TO PARK I PRESS THE BUTTON TO START AND IT HESITATES AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO PRESS 3 OR 4 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. THEN I PRESS ON THE GAS WHILE IN PARK AND IT IS A VERY SLOW CLIMB IN THE RPMS. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS AT PRESSING THE GAS IT SEEMS TO BE OK. I THEN SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND IT MOVES A FEW FEET AND DOES THE SAME STALLING OUT AND ERROR MESSAGE ON THE CLUSTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS AND SOMETIMES TURNING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND SEEING THAT THERE ARE RECALLS BUT NONE FOR MY VIN # AND ALOT OF THE DESCRIPTIONS ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING.

THE CAR STARTS FINE, BUT WILL DIE WHEN IDLING OR AT A DECLINE IN SPEED. WILL SHUT OFF HAVE YOU PLACE THE CAR BACK IN PARK TO TRY AND RESTART. SOMETIME IT WILL START AFTER 5 SECONDS AFTER SHUT OFF AND OTHERS WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES. ITS A HARD RESTART WHEN IT DOES START, AND DRIVES ROUGH FOR THE FIRST 5 MILES OR SO, AND RETURNS TO DRIVING FINE. MY CAR HAS DONE THIS MULITPLE TIMES AT RED LIGHTS AND WHILE TURNING ONTO A EXIT RAMP DURNING THE DECELERATION ONTO A HIGHWAY.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL IS SPUTTERS AND THE ELECTRICAL FLICKERS. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT IS STILL DOING IT. THE RPMS RANDOMLY FLUCTUATE AND IT'S NOT CONSISTENT. I FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS JUST GOING TO STALL OUT AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. ALSO THE IGNITION BUTTON I HAVE TO HOLD ON AND CANNOT JUST PUSH THE START BUTTON. IT'S JUST NOT RUNNING PROPERLY.

AFTER REACHING 75,000 MILES, MY CAR STARTED TO STALL AND TURN OFF BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. I PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE, MADE SURE ALL THE MAINTENANCE WAS UP TO DATE, ETC. IT HAS A NEW BATTERY LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, NEW TIRES, ETC. EVENTUALLY IT STALLED AND SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE STOPPED AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT STALLS AND SHUTS OFF BUT THE SHIFTER LIGHTS BLINK REPEATEDLY. I HAVE A CODE THAT APPEARED ON A MECHANIC'S CODE READER WHICH WAS U1504. HE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT AND WANTED $125 JUST TO DO DIAGNOSTICS. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS ONE OF THE RECALLED ISSUES AS I KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER A FEW FEET OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE MY CAR BEGINS TO TO SHAKE THEN IT TURNS OFF, WHILE I'M ON THE STREET. A LOT OF LIGHTS BEGIN TO TURN ON THEN MY CAR TURNS OFF AGAIN. WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT OFF THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS INTO NEUTRAL AND WON'T LET ME TURN IT OFF. AT SOME POINT ONCE THE LIGHTS TURN ON MY SPEED BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN, FROM GOING AT 75 ON THE FREEWAY IT SLOWLY START TO DECREASE AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL IT TAKES A WHILE TO PICK UP THE SPEED. IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
