 Description of the problemI have two problems with the vehicle that make it unsafe to drive. The first is that the engine randomly stalls. Most of the time it stalls when the vehicle is stopped. Sometimes it stalls at very slow speeds. When stopped, sometimes i hear a "thunk" right before it stalls like it was trying to go into gear. It has done this running in park and when the brake is pressed while in drive. It has stalled on me in busy intersections putting me in unsafe situations. Turning the key all the way off and back on will restart it. The second issue is that the transmission randomly gets stuck in 4th gear. It happens most often when a lot of power has been applied from stop. But it also happens randomly. When it occurs, i pull over and stop the engine turning the key all the way off. Usually when i restart it will go back to drive and all the gears in the transmission function normally. The issue is so chronic now with the transmission that it immediately goes into 4th and the vehicle is not drivable. It is at the dealer now. The dealer pulled codes and recommends replacing the transmission solenoid pack. This part is currently on national backorder and there is no eta of when the part will be available to the dealer. Also there is no guarantee that this part will fix the transmission problem. If it doesn't, the vehicle will require a new transmission. They are not even looking at the stalling problem until the transmission problem is resolved. The stalling problem is very serious and i cannot confidently use the vehicle without fearing putting children in an unsafe situation. There should be a safety recall by chrysler on these vehicles.
