Consumer Description

MY CAR WON'T START INTERMITTENTLY AND OFTEN DIES AND OFTEN IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE CARE SUDDENLY DIES WITH NO WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. ALSO, I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT MAY OR MAY NOT START, THEN SUDDENNESS FOR NO REASON STARTS. THIS CONCERNS ME AS I LIVE IN AUSTIN TEXAS AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ON A TOLL OR FREEWAY AND HAVING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CARE SUDDENLY DIES. WE HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING AND ACCORDING TO THE HUNDREDS OF FORUMS THE TIPM IS THE PROBLEM, BUT DODGE REFUSES TO FIX OR RECALL THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY FOLKS. THESE CARS ARE OFTEN USED TO HAUL CHILDREN AROUND AND MY CONCERN IS THAT ONE DAY SOON SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.
