| Description of the problem | This is the 4th time that the car has shut off while driving and cannot move the steering wheel to pull over to the side of the road. The big rig truck behind us almost crashed into the car due to the engine shutting off while we are traveling with the flow of traffic. With the engine shutting off, the steering wheel is locked making it impossible to get out of the way of other vehicles. The car eventually reduces speed down to a halt. I have to place the jeep in park and restart the ignition. The truck driver was yelling profanities out the window, telling me to learn how to drive and showing obscene gestures while i have two children in the car with me. I am scared to drive this vehicle because i do not know when it will shut down on me again. The only advice i get from chrysler is to not have any other keys on the ring and to not have my knee hit the ignition key while driving. |
