I recently ran into some mechanical issues that have concerned me. I was driving my vehicle October 9th 2019 on the highway with an average speed of 70mph �speed limit� and without any warning the vehicle cut off while still in motion. There were no warning lights or any indication that I was having any issues mechanically. I was able to pull over safely and the vehicle would not start. After 15-20 minutes on the side of the road and a few phone calls to a towing company I tried to start the vehicle and it started right up. I contacted the nearest dealer to me �rocky mount Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram fiat, located at 1340 s wesleyan blvd, rocky mount, nc 27803 at phone number 252-977-1340�. I was told by the service manager my vehicle had already had the recall for the electrical system: alternator/generator/regulator completed and there should not be any problems. This was even after stating the issue which I caused me to be on the side of the road. Believing the recall actually fixed the problem the first time then why am I now/still having the same problems as listed with the recall, electrical system: alternator/generator/regulator.

My 18 year old son was driving the car at about 40-50 miles an hour on a very busy street in bellevue washington, a city he's not familiar with when the car suddenly shifted into park and would no longer accelerate. He had to think quickly and by the grace of god he was able to momentarily get the car in drive and pull over into a driveway. Once stopped the car would not shift into any other gear, it would revert back to park regardless of what gear you shifted it into. We tried to shift it into drive and it reverted back to park. This is the second very serious situation I've had with this car. The fuse happens over a year ago when the car just stopped running in the middle of driving. I almost got hit by a bus but luckily I was also able to think quick nd turn into a urgent care parking lot. It was a faulty alternator that was a part of a recall. I am very scared to drive this car and do not want my so. To ever drive it. It's supposed to be a second car for him to drive but its unsafe. I want Chrysler to pay me out of my loan as I never want to drive this car again and I still owe $15,000 on this car.

While driving down a busy highway my car began to have electrical issues with the lights blinking and display going in and out before the vehicle cut off in the middle of the road.

Last week my power steering went out while I was driving. I couldn't move the steering wheel at ali. I called the insurance company to send assistance to no avail. I replaced the power steering fuse the next day and after dropping my son off to school, it went out again in the middle of the road. Luckily, I had purchased extra fuses in the event it went out again. I took it to the dealership that did the work before, where they told me the only thing that would fix that problem would be to replace the power steering pump because its electrical. Having electrical issues that affect your ability to operate the car while you are operating it is extremely dangerous and frightening especially when you have children aboard.

Experience recall t36: I was taking an exit off ramp from the highway when I could smell a burning smell. The abs, battery and check engine light started blinking. My speedometer was moving up and down, my screen started blinking, windshield wipers went on on its own and my car just locked up and all lights completely went off. Steering and brakes was not operable. As I came down the hilled ramp I pulled over (steering wheel) was hard to steer, hoping and praying that I didn't hit the light pole that was approx. 10 ft away. Thank god the car came to a complete stop about 5 ft away from the light pole. I was not able to put the car in the park position. I called roadside assistance and the tow truck guy couldn't get the car into neutral in order to tow it! he had to open up something by the shifter to force it to go into neutral. Got to the dealership and they quoted me a $160 diagnostic fee. Found that the problem was the alternator which also killed my battery. My car went to the dealership at about 10:30am. The shuttle service brought me to work. By 3pm I didnt get any phone call regarding the status on my car, I called them to check. They said it was the t36 recall -the alternator is faulty that they will try to get the new alternator covered without me having to pay anything out of pocket. The car wouldn't be able to be repaired until the next day. Well today is the next day, they will replace the alternator free of charge but it'll still be a defective one because I will still have to come back to the dealer "when they get the right alternator" and replace it again! this means I will still be driving my "unsafe" car that could get me in an accident or burn until the new part comes out!!this is totally ridiculous! I called the dealer monthly prior to this happening to no avail. I feel like they should provide me a rental car until the "right part" comes in!.

So called my local Chrysler dealership and was told I pay for a tow and have my car towed to them, they could do a temporary repair, which I would also have to pay for a rental, but I still would have to bring my car back when the actual part comes. They didn't have an option for me to have my car repaired some where else than be reimburse.
