“Start car, when in idle it shuts off with in a few seconds of hitting gas now. It use to idle and I would have to rev a little so it would not turn off. That worked for a little bit today to broke down. Luckily in my drive way this time instead of the middle of road like last week. Why is my car doing this?”
NHTSA complaint #10723312, filed 2015-06, 155,000 miles“I won a car from my local Chrysler dealer. The car had a 2.7l v6 engine in it that nada and kbb do not list such an engine in this type of car that I won, so I can only assume it was a dealer swap prior to the raffle drawing, but they deny the swap when I called them about this incident. When I won it, last june it had like 181,000 miles on the car, unknown mileage on the engine, but I had it from jun to deb 2016 and drove it maybe 9000 miles max and it failed without warning. …”
