For several years, the vehicle has been stalling intermittently; at traffic lights, when slowing to use an exit ramp, when trying to pull over for an ambulance, etc. . . . Also it intermittently increases to a high rpm for about 10 seconds or so, then returns to normal. This can occur at a constant speed on a level road. Dealer can not find the issue since no 'trouble' light is on. I see what seems to be a similar issue on an internet search, but have not found any cause. After several trips and several hundred dollars paid to Chrysler dealers, nothing has been found and nothing has been suggested. The stalling in traffic is very troublesome as it may cause injury to my family. For this reason, the recommendation to drive it till something breaks is not acceptable as it may be the occupants that 'break'! the last time it happened for me (both the stalling and the revving) is reported below.

I am not able to open any doors except the driver door. The trunk will not open and Dodge did not build a manual key entry for this model. Also I have a starting problem the car stalls and won't start unless I put it in neutral or jiggle the gear up into drive and back into park. The car turns very slowly when making left hand turns and the engine revs up sometimes when it's trying to pick speed back up after a turn. The dealer told us it was the battery and we had them install a new one but the issue is still there. I've read several complaints about the same issue. Customers getting their batter, starters all the recalls updated because they were told those were the issues but was not as their issue still existed as do mine. I don't want to spend a fortune at the dealer until they find what the problem is. The manufacturer should know what the problem is from all the complaints being the same. I emailed them for suggestions of what they think it may be and they just said take it to the dealership.

Vehicle will stall without warning for no apparent reason at any speed. On oct 3, 2014 I was taking my child to school when the car stalled in an intersection. After the light turned green I proceeded to the intersection and stalled upon entering the intersection. I was able to put the car in neutral and restart within ~10 seconds. This issue repeated itself at least twice while en route from my home to a nearby service shop (foltz auto) which determined there was no issue the battery or ignition. On 10/5/14 I took the vehicle to heritage Chrysler (21234) and had the car serviced for two reasons: the main reason was the above issue and a secondary issue was the main odometer (not the trip odometer) at some point had reset itself leaving a display of an incorrect mileage much lower than the actual mileage. The dealer could not recreate the stalling issue or offer any solution, but noted that another electrical issue was causing the odometer to display an incorrect mileage; the fix was to replace the instrument cluster assembly. After having the instrument cluster replaced, the issue did not reoccur until 12/26/2014, when the car stalled three times without warning at ~40 mph, leaving the car completely "dead" each time, and once causing the car to veer quickly towards another car as I was in the process of turning the wheel around a slight curve when the car locked up. The car restarted in neutral and continued on in each incident until I was able to safely reach my home - I did not further drive the car. My concern is that the manufacturer knows, or show know, of multiple issues where this model and model year vehicle has randomly stalled without warning and can not offer a solution to the problem. Consumers are left to guess which repairs to undertake at significant expense, while driving a car that could continue to have the same issues.

Had been intermittently seeing white smoke come from under the hood or front undercarriage of vehicle. No cause visible to the eye was found. On date in question, engine area caught fire while driving at a low rate of speed. Vehicle towed to collision shop where it was determined that transfer case/ pua unit was "bad" and cracked. No collision or external damage caused it. Part simply cracked for an unknown reason according to Chrysler collision/body shop. Damage not covered by auto insurance because it was spontaneous. Front end of vehicle pulls, ignition stalls, electrical problems, brakes (pads, rotors & often calipers) & tires must be replaced every 4-6 months. Upon regular maintenance inspection there is no sign of problems with brakes & tires but full replacement is usually required within several weeks of inspection.

While pulling out of a parking lot onto street, the car stalled in the middle of the street. This is the second time in approximately a month this car has stalled. I do not remember the date of the first incident, so I did not enter it. This car was purchased used on March 3, 2014. After some research, I do believe there was a recall on the 2010 model regarding this issue, but do not know if this vehicle was included in that recall. My 5 year old son was with me when this happened today and thank goodness I was able to escape collision.
