| Description of the problem | All dash board lights would begin to flash. Steering would fail. Air conditioner would shut down. All accessories would stop. Engine would stall or shut down. This would happen at any speed. A safety hazard! When taken to the dealer they initially could not duplicate problem. After multiple tries they replaced "short powertrain control module and front control module" at a cost of $1040. This repair lasted less than one year and the problem occurred again. Took it to a local mechanic and he found the problem in the ignition switch and fixed for approximately $100. Note, that i went so far as to call the chrysler corporation and, even though multiple cases of this have been recorded on the internet, they did not consider it a problem and would not issue a recall. This issue is considered a safety issue and chrysler is very lucky to not have paid out for any lawsuits. |
