| Description of the problem | Pulled onto lemay ferry road from forder road (63129) at the light. As soon as i got onto lemay ferry rd. Going slow in traffic, the engine cut out and died suddenly with no warning. I had no extra keys on with the keyfob and nothing bumped the ignition. There was not a bump in the road. This has happened many times since i bought the vehicle new in 2009 and has been reported repeatedly to chrysler since that time. Although there is now a recall, the parts are apparently unavailable and i have been on the list for repair with the dealer since the recall was announced. This is a ridiculous way to handle the safety of the public. Obviously, chrysler is not that concerned about us. It also happened at highway speed in the dark last fall when i accidentally did bump the fob while scratching a mosquito bite on my knee. Ridiculous!!!! Dangerous!! Lawsuits!!! |
