AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE DIED OUT. LOCKING MY BRAKES AND MY STEERING WHEEL. AT THIS VERY MOMENT THE GEAR D WAS BLINKING ON THE DASH AND TELLING ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLES AND THE IGNITION WOULD NOT START THE CAR UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURRED WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER. DASHBOARD SAYS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, WHICH IT IS ALREADY IN DRIVE BECAUSE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I'M IN A PARKING LOT OR ON A MAIN ROAD IN TRAFFIC. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (A FEW WEEKS AGO) I WAS IN TRAFFIC ON A MAIN ROAD AND I HAD JUST STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. TODAY IT HAPPENED AFTER I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND STARTED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW OFF THE DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM IN SUMMER OF 2017. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER HAVING IT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN MY HOMETOWN AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND BEGAN TO PANIC BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'FIXED' THE ISSUE. SHORTLY AFTER, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND TOOK A WHILE TO RESTART. EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'FIXED' THE ISSUE. HERE WE ARE JUST LAST WEEK, 08/15/2020 AND I'M DRIVING ON A MAJOR THRU WAY AND THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF AGAIN. THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY WARNING SIGNS, LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD/ REASON FOR ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. MY VEHICLE BARELY HAS 50K MILES. AFTER LOOKING UP MY VIN TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL (THERE ISN'T), I DID NOTICE THAT THE YEAR PRIOR (2015) SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUE I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. THIS MATTER IS SERIOUS AS THE CARS TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND COULD CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I WILL UPLOAD MY PAPER WORK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST 2X. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE 8/15/20 AS I'M AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. I'VE CALLED TO REPORT THE ISSUE AT THE 888 NUMBER LISTED BUT THE PHONE JUST HANGS UP. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I LIVED IN NIAGARA FALLS, NY AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM JOE CECCONI'S CHRYSLER COMPLEX. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN CHARLOTTE, NC WHERE THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED.

Official recalls

18V332000 · Electrical System:software; Electrical System:wiring; Vehicle Speed Control:cruise Control

May 17, 2018

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
