Consumer Description

LAST YEAR WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY DURING VACATION. POWER WAS LOST AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STEER OR BREAK. VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART AS IGNITION TURNED OVER THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN. VERY FORTUNATE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THIS HAS SINCE RECURRED TWICE, ONCE WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, AND ANOTHER WHILE EXISTING A PARKING GARAGE. ALSO, VEHICLE CONSTANTLY NEEDS TO BE STARTED TWICE, DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY POWERED UP AFTER INITIAL IGNITION. DID NOT THINK OF FILING A NHTSA COMPLAINT AT THE TIME, BUT WITH THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF IGNITION PROBLEMS FROM CHRYSLER, WANTED TO MAKE SURE I GOT THIS LOGGED. *JS
