Unknown- I was driving and it was storming bad, I accidentally drove through this road that was flooded and my car then said throttle control and my car started to not drive as well then when I took a turn my car stopped and it would not move. I turned it off and it started going again, then when I was going up a hill while I trying to turn my car would not move, the vehicle stability indicator turned out and so many more signs, so then I tried to turn my car off again and it was stuck in drive and would not turn off, I wasn’t able to move the gears it was locked on drive but not moving so I had to disconnect my battery and then it started moving again, not safely but I made it home. Please what do I do.

The automobile will shut down when driving uncommanded, when it does this you lose power steering and braking and sometimes locks the steering wheel. The horn sounds uncommanded randomly. The windshield wipers will intermittently not work. Have researched the problem and have found this issue is common, with this year and make of vehicle. I have contacted the manufacturer and they have been no help. They state they know there is an issue but they do not have parts to fix the issue. When it shuts down you do not get any lights or notice on the dashboard. This puts the driver and passengers at risk and other drivers. The manufacturer stated on the phone its basically my problem and since they do not have parts to repair it I'm on my own, on finding the part, most likely refurbished.

The steering wheel has become harder to steer I. E. , some resistance can be felt during steering. Also, at a certain angle it makes a hissing sound as if gas is being leaked from a pipe.

I have been having trouble with my car for a while where it, most of the time, won’t start on the first try. I’ve been to my dealership multiple times and it just seems as if my car is declining after each session. I can’t even remote start my vehicle anymore. There will be times where I am stopped for a period of time and my car will stall and/or glitch out. The stability control and electric park brake trouble indicators will come on as well as the anti-lock brake system fault and electric power steering fault indicators…all at the same time. I will be looking around for auto shops that I trust but later down the line, if there is no breakthrough, I will buy another vehicle.

When I start my car the airbag, slippery or skid resistant and the anti-locking brake instruments comes on periodically and then goes out; the radio stop working, has no control of the steering wheel it wouldn't steered correctly yesterday and it wouldn't go in any gear except park. Go in park.

On 9/3/21 my car stalled twice while driving, no warning, no lights, then it restarted on it's own. I was in the middle of a turn with other cars approaching my car, could have gotten hit by another car. Unable to steer and horn with a low beep. On 9/4/21 st 7:30am while driving to take car to get checked out I thought I saw a spark where aux cable was inserted, I unplugged the cable, no burning smell or any other things seen.

I tried talking to Chrysler but they were no help. They have had a power failure recall but I was told that based on my VIN number, didnt affect my vehicle. Intermittent power steering failure. I replaced the battery, I replace the rack and pinion and it’s still doing the same thing. $2300 down the drain. You can be driving and loose the ability to steer the vehicle. There are tons of complaints about this and they all say the same. They have replaced major parts and the issue persist. When speaking to crysler over the phone, they said that the replacement of the rack and pinion would fix the issue. Thats not true. . Read more...

When the vehicle accelerates, the gear shift is harsh and very scary to the point it feels like the car is gonna fall apart. When decelerating, the same thing a occurs. At one point the whole car shifted to the side while attempting to accelerate or decelerate. When making a turn and mainly a u-turn, the steering feels like it's harsh and feels like it will break if it was turned too far or too hard accidentally. The gear shifting/transmission does not shift very smoothly at all times. Its scary when it switches gears. Both accelerating and decelerating in the middle of the highway whether going from 60mph to 70 mph feel or 60mph going down to 40mph. I'm sure it was steering and gear shifting issue because I felt it myself. It sure could be engine problem on the top of that as well. Thank you!.

When driving the vehicle will suddenly shut off. No warning of it about to happen just does. I lose steering and brakes and turns on only after time goes by or by removing negative terminal from battery. It's happened at 35mph and at 60 mph. I've gone a week with no incident to having it happen dozens of times on a single trip. Very scary situation. Especially in traffic.

When I accelerate from a stop sign or from a stopped position the vechicle will rev high and not pick up speed. It will stall in the middle of an intersection or as I am driving. This has been occurring since I purchased the vehicle in March 2016. When the vehicle is being started, the car engine and electrical system flickers uncontrollably. All of the lights on the dash board goes off and on the dials goes up and down. The engine shacks as it would like to start but doesn't. It would take up to 2 to 3 times to restart the car to work properly. Recently April 2, 2021, as I was driving majority of the lights came on, transmission, parking brake, abs lights came on. The power steering is not fully functional and the transmission is not reacting normally. As I accelerate during tgis time the traction control symbol flashes and yhe car has difficulty picking up speed. The car has a increasingly difficult time accelerating. If I were to accelerate too quickly the vehicle will rev high and the fears will not catch properly.

On a highway while about to cross an intersection the engine just shuts off when taking off. The engine hesitates and dies with no check engine lights or anything. Taking away power steering and making it harder to stop due to the engine not running.

Car loss all power while driving down a city street in motion could not steer or do nothing would not crank up after about 10 minutes it started right up. This has happened 5 times while driving very dangerous. This has been going on for about a year. The last time it did this is February 18, 2021.

Started the car and there was no power steering and couldn't turn the wheel. There is no place to check for power steering fluid. If you turn the wheel to the right, when it works, a air compression noise is made. Turned it off and back on and it worked. Stopped at a stop sign and it quit working again.

As I was driving down the busy highway my car shut down completely. Steering wheel locked, car turned off and brakes locked. This is very dangerous. I could of gotten in a horrible car accident. When mechanic checked it out he said there was nothing wrong with it and that there was a recall on this vehicle. I have been check and it says no recalls.

I was driving towards an intersection to merge right onto the main highway when I was in motion still my car shut off and said �shift to p� when I did so it wouldn't restart. The steering locked up and I couldn't move. It did not give me any warning or sign it was going to do so. I had almost pulled out onto the highway too. The radio and everything worked just fine. This happened once last year on a curvy two lane highway and I got lucky that I had a turn off when my car shut off. I called Chrysler and they apparently reset the system and it has been good since. It's not the alternator and it is not the battery. We ruled that out then. Jumping it does not fix the problem.

On multiple occasions the car has just shut off on its own while in motion. This has happened at least 10 times. Does not matter what speed you are going, the engine will just shut off on its own. The most recent incidents were on a highway going around 55mph and happened twice within a 8 minute period. The first time was going over a bridge and the car shut off. Waited about 3 minutes and the car started. 5 minutes later the car shut off again. Did not restart for another 10 minutes.

While traveling on m59 in oakland county my drivers side tire blew out causing the car to hit the concrete median as steering would not function. My car damage rendered it a total loss and caused physical injury to me. The oakland sheriff dept responded and I was taken by ambulance to the troy beaumont hospital. This happened 10/10/2020. I remain in great pain in areas of head and torso.

It died while driving on a highway multiple times. No check engine light no warning and no control of the vehicle. Repairs sometimes right away and sometimes after an hour or more.

While driving, usually decelerating or getting ready to stop or already stopped and getting ready to accelerate the engine will stall or completely shut off, will be completely hot, will take about 15-20 minutes and then will start again. This has caused my son safety issues where he's completely stopped running on a busy road and then had to push the car into either a parking lot without power steering (hard to do by himself at 18 yo) or into a driveway. This has also happened in the country at night. No lights come on except once when the abs and traction lights came on. The vehicle will vibrate slightly before each episode. The last episode we had to have it towed. Has happened about 6 times. Now no longer driving due to safety!!.

She was driving down a city road 35 mph and the motor shut off for no reason she had no power steering and the breaks where too hard for her to press the trans locked up and put it self into park and that must be why the trans is slipping after only 56000 miles on the car this has happened twice now in a month and after the car shuts down it does start right back up and drive normal after that.

My car has started to stall recently. It is usually when coming to a stop or decelerating although it is also while in complete motion but coasting. There is no warning sound, lights or indication. One must find a way to get off the road (if possible). The car does not re-start immediately. The only light on during this time is the battery light. However, the radio is still playing and the �start� button shows the car is in the �run� position. Power steering is also lost during this time. It is very dangerous!.

The seat belt indicator stays on. Code u0001 only occurred at in & out inspections. Code u1504 steering angle sensor 3/2020.

While driving slower, decelerating, or beginning to accelerate from a stop, the brakes and steering lock up, and then the car stalls/shuts down. This has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Prior to that, it would happen about once a week for about two months. It has occurred right before having to merge from a lane of heavy traffic (bumper-to-bumper) onto a busy highway, putting me in a dangerous position. Luckily, after turning the ignition off and then on again, everything works fine. . . Until it doesn't again.
