| Description of the problem | The first occurrence was when i was driving on an interstate, about 65 mph, when the engine abruptly stalled. I changed several lanes onto the shoulder and call a tow truck, but before it arrived, it was able to start again, after ~30 minutes. This same behavior has happened 4 more times (total of 5 times in a year, or about 15k miles), sometimes weeks apart, sometimes months. The other occasions were slower, 25-40 mph. The dodge dealership was unhelpful diagnosing the problem, as all systems appear fine until the problem appears, which they unsurprisingly could not provoke. On each occasion, when we try to start the car again, it sounds as if it has no fuel, but after ~30 min. Of sitting, it starts again and drives just fine. It is very unnerving to always have to consider that the car may simply stall, this is absolutely a safety concern. Currently i plan to replace the tipm module, as it seems to have been a source of problems on many chrysler models. I will just cross my fingers that it doesn't happen again. |
