Consumer Description

While driving my vehicle on the highway the car turned off and I was unable to steer and/or turn the car back on. After I managed to get to the side of the road and then I managed to get it re-started. I took it to the dealership as it had a check engine light. The crankshaft electrical had thrown a code and I was advised to not drive my vehicle due to safety issues of the car "turning off" again without warning and that it could cause a crash. There were no previous warnings from my vehicle prior to this incident. I was given information from the Service Advisor for Chrysler recall S89-NHTSA 16V-907 but he stated that my vehicle didn't have that recall attached to it. The service advisor told me to report the issue to the NHTSA to get my vehicle inspected as he feels it should be included in the recall.
