NHTSA Complaint #10129523 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I BOUGHT A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFIC ON JULY 18, AND DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALER. THE NEXT DAY, WITH 17 MILES ON IT I DROVE IT TO WORK, A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 72 MILES. RETURNING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY, I SLOWED FROM 65 MPH (USING CRUISE CONTROL) TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO THE TURNPIKE ENTRANCE. THE CAR OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR CUT OFF OR STALLED. I HAD DIFFICULTY CONTOLLLING IT TO A SAFE PLACE AS THE HIGHWAY I WAS EXITING FROM (HWY 82 FROM TAHLEQUAH TO 412) HAS NO SHOULDER. IIMMEDIATELY TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING, NO CLICKS, NOISE, ANYTHING. I WALKED ABOUT 1/5 OF A MILE TO A CONVENIENCE STORE TO CALL SOMEONE. AFTER 15 MINUTES I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. THE NEXT DAY (TODAY) THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY "HAD FOUND A LOOSE WIRE NEAR THE STARTER" THAT MUST HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THIS SOUNDS COMPLETELY WRONG TO ME. WHY WOULD THE CAR STALL AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING? I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM.
