“After making slight turn (either direction), and hitting small bump. Ie, transition between highway and side street. Vehicle stalls. Loose all steering and excelleration. Have to quickly put into nuetral while coasting and restart engine. No accidents yet. Maybe Dodge needs a few more deaths on their hands to consider fixing these issues. Has happened multiple times over last 2 months.”

“Etc light coming on with check engine light. Locks out gas pedal and leaves you coasting on the road hoping not to get hit. Just bought the vehicle and had to take it back to dealer immediately. They said parts (a sensor) was already ordered for it. Picked up 2 days later after repair and immediately done it again when driving out. Took back and dealer replaced computer. Picked up a week later and started again after 50 miles. Took back to dealer and they replaced gas pedal but did not resolve. …”
