Twice in the last two days, the car engine has shut off on its own while in motion, and the "vehicle at too high speed" flashed on my dashboard as it asked me to put it in park to restart the vehicle. Imagine if I was on the highway going 65 with cars all around me! an accident, possibly deadly, would have occurred! I have a 7 year old child, and this car is putting us both in danger. I didn't pay for a death machine, I paid for a working vehicle that is supposed to keep me and my family safe. This hits all of the qualifications of needing to have a recall issue, as I've seen at least 20 other complaints about this issue on carcomplaints.com. How many people have to be affected/injured/killed for this to get fixed?

The car will not crank even though the key fob is in close proximity. It can take up to 1 hour (sometimes more, sometimes less) to get the car cranked. The car starts at random...no special technique can be used to get this car to crank as it should. The key fob works for locking, unlocking doors; however, it does not work to start ignition. I have replaced the battery in the fob, had the car's battery tested (it's in good working order), taken it back to the dealership of purchase twice. I have been dealing with this issue for several days now in upper 90 degree weather in Florida. The vehicle is immobile/stationary. The occurrences have happened at home, work, grocery store, restaurant. Additionally I have noticed that the car skips while in motion. It feels as if something gets hung up and then releases. This is unsafe and frustrating. This car is crap!

We traveled two hours away for an event. When we were leaving the park the car stalled. No steering, no brakes, and no dash lights. We almost side swiped a camper before the car finally stopped. Another time driving down a busy highway the cat just dies. Etc light comes on. We take the car ti the dealer and they tell us its because the oil was low. I dont understand how the oil being low is going to stall out the car, there was no indication of oil issues. No lights were on in the dash. This car is unsafe.

When I am in drive and turn a corner onto an uphill street, my car's bell sounds and the dash readout says "press ok for kmh" then the engine cuts out and the car stalls. It will restart after a couple attempts. This has happened several times over the course of a couple days. The car is still under warranty, but a dealership won't be able to fit it in for two weeks. I have appealed to Chrysler in two separate phone calls, but they have been unhelpful and will not agree to reimburse costs if I go elsewhere.

The airbag service light came on I took it in to where I bought it and they said they had to reset it. It went off and 2 days later it came back on and never went off.. now it stays on. I was told there is no recall for my car. The transmission jolts when going from 2nd into 3rdwhile driving also. And my middle console the controls air and sound works when it feels like it.

Engine stalls/cuts off at any moment without any signs or warnings. The issue happened for the first time in July 2016 and the car was with dealership for about a month. They gave back the car 3 times without proper diagnosis and it kept stalling at different times. I had to open up a case at Chrysler and explain them the risk of driving this vehicle when it cuts off on freeway and finally at 4th attempt it was fixed. They mentioned that the recall which was performed in June was not done properly. 2017, I went in for another recall and just after a month again in June 2017 I am having this issue again. The engine stalled on me when I was on first lane on freeway, again a risk experience. The car is with dealership since last 15 days and they are also able to recreate the issue. There is something really wrong with this year's model and I have seen other complaints as well from other owners. I am selling this car as soon as this is fixed.

A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as I was turning into my driveway. It completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. I tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. The engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen. My husband had to disconnect the battery, which reset everything and allowed us to start the car and pull it out of the road and into the driveway. I called Chrysler roadside and my car was towed to the Chrysler dealership. After 3 days in the service dept I was informed they could not recreate the issue that caused the car to totally shut down and lock up while driving. They drove the car, however no codes were active and they were unable to get the car to throw a code while they had the vehicle. They have now returned my car to me without this major safety issue being addressed. Since they could not recreate the stalling and shutdown they returned the car to me. Luckily this happened as I was turning into my driveway as opposed to a few minutes earlier when I was on the highway surrounded by other vehicles. I'm very concerned that it could happen again and next time I may not be as lucky. I leased the car brand new in Aug. 2014, the lease ends Aug. 2017.
