CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LAST FEW WEEKS. IT HAPPENED. AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO A ROAD, GOING 20-30 MPH, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE CAR JUST STALLS, SAYS "PLACE IN P TO START" AND THEN DIES. THE GEARSHIFT AND WHEEL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. EACH TIME I HAD TO TRY AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT INCLUDED, BUT HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS FINE. TRYING TO RESTART, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALSHIP BUT, ALL THEY TOLD ME TO DO WAS TRACK MY OIL CHANGES BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

THE TRANSMISSION WILL CHANGE GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. CAUSE MY CAR TO JERK SHAKE AND UNUSUAL LONG DELAY TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES EVEN REV HIGH WHILE PROLONGED DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATING. THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE SITUATIONS THAT MADE THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNPREDICTABLE AND A HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHER MOTORIST.

ON 10/12/18 WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY JUST STARTED GOING DOWN A HILL AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND MY GEAR SHIFTER STARTING BLINKING IN NEUTRAL, BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND PUSH TO START WOULD NOT WORK FOR ME TO RESTART MY CAR AFTER A FEW TRIES I WAS ABLE TO GET TO TURN OFF AND TOOK A COUPLE TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN BACK ON. I WAS STALLED AND HAD CARS DODGING ME AND SWERVING IN OTHER LANES WHEN THEY WERE TOPPING THE HILL. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WASN'T ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT DAY AND TOLD ME THEY COULD PROBABLY GET TO IT THE NEXT FOLLOWING WEEK. WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP IT OFF WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS AT A STOP SIGN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT DECIDES TO TAKE OFF ON IT'S ON AND I HAD TO SMASH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE IT STOP IN ORDER TO NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A PRETTY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE FOR ME AS I HAVE ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF THAT CAR SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. I NEVER HAD A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE EITHER. MY ENGINE WOULD ALSO SKIP A FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO MY DEALERSHIP. I HAVE ALSO NEVER HAD ANY WORK DONE TO MY VEHICLE MECHANICALLY BESIDE OIL CHANGES ON A REGULAR BASIS.

CRUISE CONTROL IS GETTING STUCK! I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JUNE, 2018 AND EVERY TIME I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR IT GETS STUCK WHILE I'M TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'LL WORK FINE ON FLAT ROADS AND GOING UPHILL BUT WHEN THE CAR GOES DOWNHILL AND THE SPEEDOMETER INCREASES PAST WHAT I HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON' THE ENGINE REVS UP, THE RPMS GO UP TO 5 OR 6 (SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE!). I PRESS THE CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL BUTTON AND IT DOESN'T STOP IT, I EVEN MASH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WON'T STOP IT! I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. I'VE NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN 2016 CHRYSLER 200S DUE TO THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER THEY SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. BUT IT IS GETTING STUCK LIKE THE OTHER VEHICLES AND I NEED HELP!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

Official recalls

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.
