2 Car Stall problem

I can drive the car but can't speed up or engine light will flash. If I'm at a stop light too long my car will stall while engine light is flashing and can't turn over engine right away.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2015

I was driving my 2008 Dodge Caliber in February 2015 traveling roughly 45 mph when suddenly the battery light and all dash lights began to come on and flash. I was able (just barely) to avoid a head on collision with another vehicle and parked the car; in the previous 30 days I had several repairs made that included the alternator and batter, et cetera. Vehicle was towed to the repairing shop where a new alternator and battery were installed, then tonight 20150411 the batter light has again come on with fluctuating speeds. I have researched and read about multiple problems with the Dodge Caliber regarding the tipms system or such; the fact that the Chrysler corporation has been able to consistently fail to make the required repairs to these vehicles is atrocious. The lives of other vehicle operators are being put at risk; I'm certain that something more should be done.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2014

I was stopped in traffic at a red light, train was coming so I was holding my brakes. It felt as if the car was jerking forward not with alot of power but enough for me to notice. I look at my dash and I noticed that a redlight that seem to be red lighting bolts was on. I immediately pull my car out of traffic. While trying to get the car out of the road I notice it was slowly accelarating my car didnt go pass 20mph. I parked the car and waited to see if I could just try to drive it home which was only 1. 5 miles at the most away. I had no issues besides the car wouldn't go pass 20mph and when it stalled it seemed as if it would jerk forward, while driving the car home. Before that day I had no issues.

Had come to a stop at an intersection for a red light. Green light making left hand turn, car stalled out in intersection, able to restart car. I am at 89k now ever since then the car has been randomly stalling out at stops. I keep up with my vehicle maintenance. By doing some research this problem is a cause for concern, multiple complaints about this problem around the internet. This a safety issue and I believe it should be looked into and corrected.
