Consumer Description
WIN MODUEL(WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE) VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES. WHEN KEY IS INSERTED INTO IGNITION AND TURNED TO THE START POSITION THE WIN MODULE FAILS TO MAKE A CIRCUIT INTERNALLY AND WILL NOT CRANK THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY CONNECTIONS INSIDE WILL ALSO MOVE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF AT SOMETIMES A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES,STEERING, LIGHTS, ETC. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. MY PERSONAL VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STARTING. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE BEING LAST NIGHT WHEN DRIVING 60MPH DOWN A RULE STAE HI-WAY WE LOST COMPLETE POWER!!! NO HEAD LIGHTS, NO ENGINE, NO POWER BREAKS, NO POWER STEERING, EVERYTHING WAS DEAD. THIS WAS VERY SCARY!!! WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HI-WAY AND TURN OFF THE KEY AND EVERYTHING POWERED BACK UP. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE!!! THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON THIS ONE ALSO.
