NHTSA Complaint #10125528 — 2005 DODGE SRT-4

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 2WD ON 4/11/2005 WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 2 VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JACK CARUSO''S REGENCY DODGE. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS AND SEVERAL FUSES BEFORE COMING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT THE WIRING AT THE BACK OF THE RIGHT SIDE CYLINDER HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPAIR AND A CAPACITOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON 6/15/2005 WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED, AGAIN, TO JACK CARUSO''S REGENCY DODGE. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER 6/16/2005 I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE PERFORMING ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC''S TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS WRONG. AT THIS POINT I ADVISED I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY SON AND MYSELF. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE WORRY EVERY TIME I GET TO AN INTERSECTION IF THEY VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT REPLACING THE VEHICLE; I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL CHRYSLER CORPORATE HEAD QUARTERS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE I WAS INFORMED THAT REPURCHASING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AN OPTION BASED ON THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM MY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MYSELF, UNDER FLORIDA LEMON LAW YOU MUST HAVE 3 PROBLEMS WITH IN 24 MONTHS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 PROBLEMS WITH IN 66 DAYS. UNACCEPTABLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE CHRYSLER RECTIFIES THE SITUATION.
