“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.”

“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. Their retention team recommends that we scheduled a follow up service appointment with a second service department.”

“Engine stopped at highway speed, instrument cluster displayed message for a restart sequence even though car was coasting. Once vehicle was stopped had to change from run mode to off mode and then was able to restart and proceed. Check engine light was amber. After restart engine stalling continued randomly without warning during our trip. I need this corrected and vehicle to perform as advertised, thank you.”

“I drive on the freeway, and I lost any power with the car, I'm lucky my baby was not in my car on that day. It happened two times and I go to the Mopar service center, they tell me they don't have the part for that, and I ask them what's should I do with that situation, and they said that's a good question, I have no idea, but you can wait for the part and I don't know when the part comes in maybe a week, and maybe few months.”

“I was driving on the interstate with adaptive cruise control active. The gasoline engine was running. The vehicle suddenly made a ding sound, and the main driver screen displayed an error message Stop Safely. The Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon . The engine shut down and vehicle completely lost motive power. I had to rapidly change across three lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder while losing speed, where I eventually parked with the hazard lights on. …”
