2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2016

The engine shuts off while I'm driving and in reverse. I can restart it with no problem as long as I immediately step on the gas peddle. I have to shift into neutral to keep the engine running while at a stop light & back to drive. When I turn the key I do not hear the fuel pump like I used too! I've had repairs costing$509. 96 and still have the same problem! I think my fuel pump is not working correctly or about to stop working! is there a recall for the fuel pump?.

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2014

Engine shut off while driving anywhere from 20-40 mph - or when the car is in idle mode - engine will shut off. Sometimes after refueling as well - gas tank was replaced with the warranty issued by Chrysler by an authorized Chrysler dealer however a day or two later I was back to seeing the same engine shut off issues. I find it hard to beleive that this is not taken as a severe safety concern. Someone is going to get hurt or killed due to this engine shut off issue - it should be reinvestigated.

5 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2013

After filling the Chrysler up with gas for the last 6 months, maybe more, the car starts and then within 3 feet it shuts off. The computer says that the system is ok. This happens 3 to four times in traffic. It has caused minor bumper problems. It is a serious safety issue. Finally, it was supposedly, inspected by bettenhausen, fiat in tinley park, but we never got a response or the problem alleviate. It did the same thing today on the highway. Thank god, there were no cars next to me. I had to pull over because the car stopped without warning.

6 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 07/26/2013

I purchased the used car on July 20,2013 from car center in waldorf, MD. One week of driving the car I had to fill the gas tank up. Once I started to drive it the car began to stumble and shut off on me while I was driving. I immediately called car center and I was given a loaner car 08/01/13 and the car was supposely taken to waldorf Ford and Dodge to have it looked at. I called the waldorf Ford and Dodge to discuss my car. They told me the only thing they did was cut a new key for the car, which I had them fax me the receipt of the work done. My car shut off another 2 times while I was driving, just after fueling. When I personally dropped the car off at waldorf Jeep and Chrysler dealership the technician told me that I'm not the first one to complain about my car shutting of while driving, just after filling up my gas tank. I asked him was there a recall on the car that was not done. He said they're investigating it. I asked him what do I do in the meantime, his smartass answer just don't fill it all the way up. On 04/16/14, my car stalled in the middle of a busy highway while I had the green light to cross it. We were almost side swiped by another vehicle because they're light turned green and I couldn't get the car started in time to get out of the way. I no longer feel that this is "safe" to drive but yet I'm still stuck with these payments! please help I love the car but want something that is safe to drive.

7 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2013

Engine shut off after tank fill up.

8 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2012

After refilling the vehicle with gasoline I travel about a mile from the service station and while coming to a traffic light the vehicle rpm began to decrease until the car engine shut off; I was able to restart the engine and the vehicle drove a short distance and began to stall again. I restarted the vehicle and was able to get the vehicle off the road into a parking lot; after sitting briefly I restarted the vehicle and drove it to tire kingdom to have it checked, the technician scan the vehicle and determined that there was no codes available to determined what caused the malfunction. He took the vehicle for a test drive but was not able to duplicate the discrepancy; in his opinion since the vehicle tank had just got filled more that likely the problem was caused by a vapor lock. I was told since the problem could not be duplicated to continue with my travel and if the problem returned to return the vehicle back for evaluation.

9 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2011

After filling up the fuel tank, after approximately 30 seconds the engine shut down. It was hard to restart, but finally restarted. When pulling out fromt the fueling station, the car began to buck and jerk intermittently. When stopped at a red light, it stalled again. I restarted the car. When I proceeded when the light turned green, the car again stalled. This occured for the next 5-6 miles, then stopped occurring. This happened every time I refilled the fuel tank. Since ooa 15 December 2011, I cannot fill my fuel tank and have to stop it before the nozzle shuts if off. If I inadvertenly let it fill until the nozzle clicks off (doesn't matter the fueling pump/station), it will buck and stall for the next several miles until some of the fuel is burned off in the tank.
