I was in motion on numerous occasions driving on highway and city streets and the vehicle would make an awful ticking and grinding noise and then stall. I lose steering and brakes and have been in too many close accidents due to this. I have kids and this is not safe. I took it to the dealership where I bought the car and they could not find anything wrong with it. There are no dash indicators on nor any codes coming up when scanned. I read about this from other people. Something needs to be done. The scariest time was when I was going down a steep hill, cars in front and back of me. My car stalled and with no power steering and no brakes I barely managed to swerve around the car in front, Dodge the oncoming car in other lane, I then had to go into an intersection praying to god that no other cars were coming thru at the same time and then managed to pull over. Did I mention my kids were in the car!!!! please recall these cars for stalling before someone gets killed! it is very dangerous.
