Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ALL THE GAUGES AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON,GAS GAUGE NEEDLE WENT TO E(TANK WAS FULL), LOST POWER AS I WAS DRIVING. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THEY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE...AGAIN! A WEEK LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO WORK ACROSS ALL 3 SHIFTS, I AM FRIGHTEN TO DRIVE MY CAR, I OFTEN HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH. THEY WERE IN THE CAR MARCH 25,2016 WHEN THE CAR BEGAN BUCKING AND JERKING WHILE WE WERE DRIVING HOME. I WAS ON A STREET DOING 45 MPH, WHEN THE CARS SPEED DROPPED TO 5 MPH. I WAS IMPEDING TRAFFIC, AND CARS WERE PASSING ME ON CURVES! I WAS ON ANOTHER SITE AND SEE 93 OTHER COMPLAINTS, FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM THINKING THERE WILL NEED TO BE A LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE CHRYSLER CORP. DOES SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
