Consumer Description

WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, EITHER AT LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC, MY RPM GAUGE NEEDLE WOULD DROP TO 0 RPMS, HOWEVER MY BATTERY IS STILL ACTIVE. I WILL THEN HAVE TO CYCLE KEY TO TURN VEHICLE BACK ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AS VEHICLE WAS MOVING/APPROACHING INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I COASTED TO INTERSECTION MY RPMS AGAIN WENT TO ZERO. I THEN RELUCTANTLY WAS ABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL (ALTHOUGH LOST POWER STEERING) TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO COAST ONTO SHOULDER OF ROAD. PUT CAR INTO PARK, CYCLED KEY AND CAR TURNED ON BUT TOOK A SEVERAL SECONDS FOR ENGINE TO TURN OVER. TOOK VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 3X FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT WHILE DRIVING IT FOR A FEW DAYS.
