6. 1. 17 at roughly 7:50am, my 2014 Dodge Avenger lx with rallye package completely shutoff while doing highway speeds - 70mph cruise, flat land. Power steering was gone and thankfully no other cars were on the road. I placed the car in neutral and was able to get it started to continue on my way to work. Over the past year, we've experienced numerous issues such random accelerations without cause, dummy lights flashing or coming on and then disappearing on their own, acceleration issues where car will not go over 40, etc. Issues have not been able to be replicated and has not been brought to the dealership for that purpose as I had a friend experience the same and the dealership told her they couldn't recreate so there was no issue. I have contacted my dealership and have an appointment for 6. 5. 17, and I have also contacted Chrysler regarding the issue so they can get a case manager assigned. I no longer feel safe driving myself or my children in this vehicle, as I have found several have experienced the issue without remedy.

I was trying to reverse after making a u-turn on a business avenue in queens, NY and after turning around, I put the car in reserve to go back a little bit to complete my u-turn, and my car would not reverse, instead moves forward, even though the vehicle was put into reverse position. I turn off the engine and turn it back on, put the car in reverse, and it continues to do the same thing. Someone help me push it back while in neutral and I then put it in drive and it was ok after that. My children was in the car with me and this happened on a busy Ave. I am concerned for the safety for everyone. My children are always with me in my car. Please take a closer look at this problem with my car and many others. Thank you.
