| Description of the problem | About a month ago i was in the middle of a 4 hour drive i do on a weekly basis and 2 hours into the drive my vehicle stalled as i was slowing for a yellow light. There was no warning at all and it took me a second to realize it had stalled. I was able to roll out of the traffic lane onto a side road. The police showed up and helped me push it off to the side of the road. At that point i tried to start it, approximately 10mins after stalling and it started right up. I went straight to autozone and had a new battery installed, $250. 00 and got going on my way home - fat, dumb and happy - until 2 days later when it did it again. The second time it stalled i was on a busy 12 lane interstate 95 in downtown miami. Again i did not know it had stalled, i was increasing speed from about 50mph to 60mph and pushed the gas pedal and nothing happened. I was in the middle of 6 lanes and immediately put my hazards on and rolled through traffic onto the side of the interstate. I waited 5 mins and it started right up and i went straight to the chrysler dealer in kendall, fl. They gave me a rental vehicle - thank god. About 3 weeks later they changed out the pcm and gave it back to me - fixed (supposedly). 2 weeks later it stalled in traffic on a 4 lane hwy; waited 5 mins and it started fine, was later at the store got in the vehicle and it would not start just kept trying to crank itself, waited 5 mins later and it started. That weekend took it to chrysler in tampa (jerry ulm) they said it is not in my warranty and i paid $400. 00 for what i was told was a chrysler "work around". 2 days later it would not start and it tried to crank itself. I turned the key off and waited 5 mins and it started right up and i went directly to kendal chrysler, where it is sitting today as i write this. |
