| Description of the problem | Driving to st. James, ny after a weekend in nj in snowy and cold conditions with new puppy. At 7:00am, about one hour into the drive, while on long island expressway, radio went off, lights flashed on and off, car began to shake and lose power. I pulled off the nearest exit and it stalled as i coasted into a gas station. After about 15 minutes, the car started again, and i tried to drive it to the huntington service center about 8 miles away. The car would not drive over 25 mph, and after about two miles began to shake uncontrollably. I pulled into a parking lot, put the car in neutral and tried revving the engine. Nothing changed and the car stalled. I waited in the cold and snow for aaa to tow me to the huntington service center. Service center communicated to me that the car had nothing wrong with it based on the computer check. That a technician would take it for a test drive with me. The problem didn? T happen on the test drive. Upon return to the service center, i insisted that they continue to search for the problem on the grounds that my car had to be towed in after losing control on the highway. Service manager refused. I asked him to explain chrysler? S responsibility in the matter and he said in an unkind tone that i could go to arbitration but the problem would have to occur in front of the arbitrator, so it probably wouldn? T work in my favor. Returned to service center at 29,308 miles because the dashboard lights were going on and off while i was driving. Insisted that they find out what was wrong with the car and fix it. Service advisor told me that they would call the chrysler tech support team to help with solving the problem. They stated that the problems caused on march 3 and march 4 were because the battery was low and the esp was activating prematurely. They stated low battery was causing the power failure and the esp was causing the shaking of the car. Service center replaced the battery and fix the module that controlled esp. |
