Consumer Description

THIS IS A REPETITIVE, ALMOST DAILY PROBLEM. WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST DRIVEN IN THE MORNING, IT STALLS DURING DRIVING AFTER ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES OF TRAVEL. THIS STALLING HAS OCCURRED DAILY AT SPEED AROUND 30 MPH, AND I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUSH CONTROL TO NEUTRAL, TRY TO RESTART IGNITION (USUALLY STARTS IN ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS) TO REGAIN POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE CONTROLS. THIS CONDITION HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS STEERING AND BRAKING IS SIGNIFICANT REDUCED AS ENGINE STALLS (I.E. NO POWER). I SAW IN READING INTERNET STORIES, THAT 2010S WERE RECALLED AFTER 2 ACCIDENTS. I FEAR I MAY BE AN ACCIDENT, AND HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO REPAIR, BUT NO TROUBLE HAS BEEN FOUND YET. IF CHRYSLER/DODGE KNOW ABOUT A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE PROBLEM, I REALLY HOPE THEY WILL NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN HOPES OF GETTING AN ANSWER QUICKLY. MEANWHILE, I'LL TRY TO ANTICIPATE THE STALL AS MUCH AS I CAN TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, AS I HAVE A NEED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVEN WITH THIS FAULTY CONDITION. *TR
