“When driving approximately 65 mph on the highway, alert on the vehicle display came on saying to pull over the engine would shut down soon. We were able to pull over and the car no longer worked. We were driving with our family of young children in the car, had there been no shoulder to pull over on the highway we would have been extreme danger.”
NHTSA complaint #11524084, filed 2023-05“There has been several incidents where we experienced sudden engine loss and the vehicle and computer powered off while operating the vehicle. We reported these safety concerns to AutoNation Carlsbad and they were unable to recreate this problem. We have escalated these concerns to the Chrysler’s retention team.
