This problem has occurred & been repaired 3 times since purchasing the vehicle. It stalls and you loses all power. This happened the first time as we were going over railroad tracks. It has happened while making left turns. This is extremely dangerous because you never know you have a problem until you are driving along and lose power. This was repaired by vero beach Chrysler the first time, and they said it was not covered under warranty. Ceconni Chrysler said it cetainly was a warranty item and got our money reimbursed by Chrysler. The second time it happened it was repaired gator Chrysler-Plymouth, melbourne, FL 32901. The mileage was 53,000 the second time and they said it was no longer warrantied. The third time it happened the mileage was 95,200 and we again paid for the repair. This is a very upsetting problem. It has happened during left hand turns.
