Consumer Description

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED OR IDLING, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. THE RPM GAUGE WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THE ENGINE WILL REV BY ITSELF, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL IS OFF BUT THE RUNNING/OUTSIDE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THE STEERING TIGHTENS UP,BUT THE BRAKES WORK. THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SO FAR. IT NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, OR STOPPING AND BEING IDLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, NORMALLY ONCE A WEEK, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WE NOW DON'T LEAVE TOWN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT JUST AROUND TOWN. I HAVE KIDS AND DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN WHILE IM DRIVING AT ACCELERATED SPEED. ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE 100'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND, NO ONE IS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG, DEALERSHIPS CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM OR CODES. WHICH HAS BEEN MY ISSUE. PLUS, DODGE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR COMPLAINTS. *TR
