Chrysler has no idea a out this problem with there vehicles and if u take it to an auto repair place. It says says the vehicle is fine when they plug it in. I did some research on this to find out what to do and the I ternet is swamped by people with this car, this same year or around the same year. . . With the same problem. This vehicle is unsafe. Logic suggests that Chrysler wont voluntarily recall this vehicle for financial reasons which is understandable but at the same time I dont wanna die because I cant control this car when it has the above mentioned "episode".
Pulled off interstate after driving for 2 hrs. Into parking lot. Started to pull into parking space and everything thing locked up. No steering, no breaks, everything died except lights on dash. Car was driving fine with no indication of problem. I am told that my car does not fit into the recall for engine failure for this model. Concern with safety as if I had been on interstate going 70mph this would have caused a bad accident.
