“This is my third time with an issue on this vehicle stalling. I was turning at an intersection and the car just stalled lighting up every notifying signal including an emergency brake being locked in almost causing an serious accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11245785, filed 2019-08, 6,673 miles“I came to a red light; my car cut off like normal; when I took my foot off the break it would not start back up. I had to cut my hazards on. I put my vehicle in park and tried to turn my vehicle on. I tried 3 times and it finally started. My vehicle started making weird noises; on my control panel it said start/stop not ready battery protection mode. I parked my car and let it cool of for 2 hours. I got in my vehicle, started, left my house, when I got to the stop sign. It did the same thing. Im honestly scared to drive my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11354784, filed 2020-09, 39,600 miles“I was backing out of my drive way when the car completely stopped and stalled. I tried turning the car back on and it sounds like it is on but does not let me accelerate or reverse. I tried multiple times turning it on and off and it still would not let me drive. We pushed the car back into the driveway and about 3 hours later I tried turning it on again and it turned on. We took it back to dodge (this is the second time this car has stalled like this randomly) and they could not duplicate the issue and released the car back to us.”
NHTSA complaint #11301497, filed 2020-01, 3,000 miles“I was at a red lighting turning right and when I started to go the car stalled and would not let me go forward. I tried turning the car on and off and it made a noise like the car was turning on but would not let me move forward. I tried turning it on and off a couple times then the check engine light came on. I popped the hood and then tried turning the car on again, this time it did turn on and was letting me move forward and then it stalled again and would not let me go forward. My husband had to push the car and jump start it (its a manual) we drove straight to dodge to have it looked at. …”
