“After car in motion, it shuts off while driving, noticed that ABS light came on before this happened. Sometimes after it starts, it just shuts down, car goes completely dark, I opened the door and power came back on, then I could re- start it. It is very scary because I was in major traffic when this happened.”

The car jerks back and forth as you drive not good form my 5 yr and 3 yr old necks when its jerking them back and forth. As we brake the car feels like it is giving gas to go.

NHTSA complaint #10722462, filed 2015-05, 100 miles“While driving the vehicle the dashboard/instrument cluster keeps on flashing in and out, staying off for at lease 5 seconds at a time. At night the headlights also flicker on and off. The car also tends to pick up speed while braking. Lets talk about the brakes, the brakes absolutely suck, they don't hold properly at all. While coming to a stop I often have to sink my foot into the peddle and give myself extra feet to stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11098182, filed 2018-05, 52,555 miles“Stopping the vehicle as I was traveling down my street, came to a stop sign, hit the brake pedal, became extremely stiff and hard to stop. No longer stopped after that and had to be towed to nearest Chrysler dealer. Brake light came on and a service electronic brake warning came up on info screen. Luckily was not traveling fast enough so I still managed to stop with parking brake and shifting into neutral”
