Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving down the road and the car just shut off all at once. I immediately put emergency flashers on and crank it up only for it to do the same thing 3 or 4 more times before it starts to drive normal as if nothing ever happened. This happens while I am driving down the street, turning or whenever it feel like cutting off.”
NHTSA complaint #11220718, filed 2019-06, 121,000 miles“The car will randomly shut off. There are no codes or warning. It has shut off while moving, and while sitting at a light. One time almost caused an accident with my son in the car! I have replaced the computer, throttle body, and several coil packs. While each repair helped the car will still stall. Very frustrating!”
NHTSA complaint #10781391, filed 2015-10, 100,000 miles“My vehicle suddenly shuts down after a short period of driving it has stopped several times in the middle of traffic and needless to say I was berated and once even threatened as several other vehicles could not pass this could cause an accident or someones life”
NHTSA complaint #11092556, filed 2018-05, 151,000 miles“While driving on more that one occasion my knee accidentally bumped the ignition key and turned the car while moving I was able to restart the car without incidents. I contact Chrysler twice regarding this matter to give the a heads up but I have not heard from about resolving the problem. I bought this car new in 2006.”
NHTSA complaint #10598666, filed 2014-06, 96,247 miles“I was driving on the off-ramp of a freeway and my car abruptly stalled. There were no warning lights or anything. After several tries, my car started up again. Approximately 2 months later, the same thing happened while I was driving on the freeway. This time, it took approximately 20 minutes for my car to start up again.”
