Driving over 50 miles an hour on an expressway and vehicle randomly dies. After pulling off road, need to wait 20 minutes and vehicle will start as normal.

Hi, I was traveling on highway and at about 45 mph the rpm's ramped up to 5+ and van had no additional power and I coasted off the highway. I was recently informed I need to have my transmission replaced at a cost of $4,286. 70 and was reaching out to you for consideration of any warranty extension as I only have 110k miles on our family van. This estimate is probably higher than what one of your dealerships can offer. While these are very challenging times for many I was hoping Dodge can offer brand loyalty coverage (3rd Dodge product we've purchased) as you were kind enough to do last year with a problem we had. Any financial assistance would be greatly appreciated. I will be sending an email to the corporate office and look forward to a response. Thank you! rich buckholz 203-988-8292 rbuckholz@snet. Net.

Then, six months later the car is still not starting accurately and was fixed at my cost. A ground wire was put in from the battery to the transmission.

On September 25, 2015, the battery light came on while travelling from canada to USA at night time with my wife and two young children. Because I carry a vehicle scanner with me, I pulled over at a rest stop and checked the voltage sense pid. It showed 12. 5v. Thought that was acceptable and continued driving. Aproximately 400 miles later, vehicle exhibited sudden loss of momentum while in cruise control at 72mph, as I pressed on the accelarator, vehicle downshifted and rpms rose to 4500, however vehicle slowed even more and I had to take evasive action to get to right shoulder. Vehicle went from approx 72mph in cruise control to 40mph in a matter of few seconds while I was trying to accelarate to safely get vehicle from left lane on I-495 s to right shoulder. I again plugged in my scanner and had code p0622 show up. At this time, control module voltage sense was reading 11v. After erasing the code and multiple ignition key cycling attempts, the vehicle started up, and everything seemed fine, battery light went out and voltage was again at 12. 5 v, and climbing. We made it to our destination (taunton, MA) and everything seemed normal over the course of the weekend. On September 28, while we were travelling back to canada, within 40 miles of leaving taunton, the battery light came on again, but very shortly after the vehicle lost power again, and had to scramble to get vehicle pulled over to the shoulder of the highway (I-495 n). And is unable to restart. I called fca road side assistance, and they sent a tow truck. The vehicle is currently at dan's Dodge Chrysler Jeep in westboro, MA, USA awaiting diagnostic.
