Vehicle's engine shut off while driving like the key would be pulled out, would not start right away, some times would not start at all before a trip. It happens daily and after going to 3 mechanics and 1 Chrysler dealership the issue cannot be identified. No codes are stored and therefore they said it's working fine. Do I need to get into an accident before this problem is addressed? I know about many people having the same issue with the same unidentified error. They have this problem with the new models and they should start checking the old one as well. It is definitely an ignition problem as the car can be started by bypassing the key switch.
