I bought my car in Feb 2014 used with a little under 70,000 miles. Overall the vehicle was in excellent condition with a few minor paint issues. Within the 1st week of buying it I noticed the check engine light would come on and act like it would stall, or would actually stall all together once coming to a complete stop. The scariest is when you are driving on a highway & the car looses all power! I have learned is if I throw it into neutral then the power will come back up & I don't have to come to a complete stop most of the times. I have taken it to my mechanic who I have used for over 10 yrs & he still has not been able to find the cause, he said the check engine light code is coming back as the park/neutral switch (which would be the transmission and costly and could not guarantee this would fix the problem). Last week my car died & I had to have it towed since it would not start. Ended up being the fuel pump, but when they put the new fuel pump, the pcm shorted it out so that ended up being replaced as well as the crank shaft sensor . He thought this would have fixed the problem but sadly it is still happening :( this is very frustrating to see that so many people have the same issue and yet Chrysler is still not issuing a recall for this. When someone like me has a kid(s), it makes it very scary every time you get in to drive not knowing what will happen. As a single parent, I can not keep putting in thousands of dollars for a problem that should have already been identified and recalled and fixed. I have had the car for almost a year and still wont drive outside of orlando for the fear of breaking down too far from home. Please find what is causing this and recall so I can stop throwing money away on senseless fixes!!.

Car stops while driving and also doesn't start on some days and not others. You can be going 60mph on the highway and car will stop for no reason and then start up again after sitting for a while. I've had an engine code reading with no codes showing. Replaced battery, spark plugs and wires, plume gasket, crank shaft sensor, rotor cap and button. I am now getting a "no bus" reading when it won't start. It's getting a spark and tries to turn over. I have looked up this problem and there are numerous complaints about the same problem with nobody knowing, including the dealerships, as to how to fix this problem. If something is not done soon, someone is going to die from this. This has been happening for 4 months with three trips to the shop. It will drive fine for a couple of days and then you go to start it and it won't. Or you're driving on the highway or regular streets and the car will stop. It's scary when you have a semi on your behind flying at you and all you can do is pray that you can get over to side of the highway with your car when it's stopped. This is a recipe for disaster. Please help. Please look this up on the internet with a google search and see that this is a big problem for so many consumers of this car. There really should be a recall.
