When I accelerate, the vehicle jumps, as if the transmission is slipping. It seems like it does it when it needs to change gears. There aren-??t any lights on to indicate anything is wrong, however, this problem is consistent and I-??m scared the vehicle will leave my small children and I on the side of the road

The battery and check engine lights are constantly on despite a new battery, new battery cable, and new alternator. The cruise control will randomly stop working. Abs and vehicle stability lights will go on and off. And at times headlights, dash, and radio screen will flicker and lose power making it impossible to see or know what the car is doing. Mechanic has looked at and repaired the car 3 different times and there is nothing identifiably wrong. The car is now unsafe to drive not knowing when the dash will go out, speed will reduce, or lights turn off. It is a hazard to the driver and others on the road.

Bought the car new in 2014, (it was the 6th Chrysler minivan I've owned since 1995.) I love these minvans! this one has had an ongoing problem with cylinder #3 misfiring and causing violent shaking (as if it had a broken engine mount). The problem has always been diagnosed and eventually "fixed" by three different Chrysler service departments in nc, fl & va.(the problem occured on various trips). It was usually diagnosed as a faulty fuel injector. Most recently it was diagnosed as a spark plug failure due to a tiny crack in the insulation. They installed a new spark plug, and after leaving dealership and driving no more than 20 miles, violent shaking occured again. I immediatley returned to the dealership. This time #3 spark plug had "exploded" and caused the cylinder head to crack. All previous repairs were covered by the "lifetime" warranty purchased at the time of purchase in 2014. However this time, Chrysler insurance sent an investigator who determined that the damage was caused by the exploding spark plug and therefore denied coverage. The Chrysler service technician said the "PCM" failed, causing the spark plug failure. The insurance agent continues to deny the claim because their policy "does not cover spark plug problems" ! they now want me to pay $2500 for repairs. In all cases, the "check engine light" came on and I would return to a Chrysler dealership to have it checked. Their computer check always defined the problem as being something in cylinder #3, but inconclusive because of no obvious engine symptoms. They would reset the engine light and send me on my way until an actual problem occured, and then leave the vehicle for more detailed checking. Each time the problem occured at highway speeds and usually in heavy traffic on I-95...a dangerous time and place for engine problems to occur. Please note that every problem we've had with this vehicle has always been with cylinder #3 "misfiring". is there a problem here?

I bought my car from 440 Dodge in Jersey City NJ, I had Mopar Insurance for repairs. I bought it back twice for transmission purposes, Dealer did change a somewhat sensor to change shifting on trans at no charge cause I was covered but know it's happening again, Not shifting accordingly, gas is burning cause of staying in gears that are not shifting. Trans is not slipping but I'm having the same problem on shifting and will stay stuck on same gear and car will keep accelerating wich in some cases l'd have to keep foot on brake, pull over and let system reset. What are my options in this case, Thank You

I've had to have major work done to my engine and transmission. But the electrical problems are never ending. Most of the electric inside of my car hardly works. Our power doors have closed on my kids several times, the car has locked us in while the alarm was going off and we couldn't get out, it's been stuck on and wouldn't turn off, the transmission is constantly slipping, the windows open and close themselves, many times I've come out of the store and the electric sliding door was open when it wasn't left open, locks lock themselves, car alarm goes off while cars in drive and in park, car hesitates to go and I could go on and on. This car is only five years old !!!!

My van is shaking when I stop and stalls out when I stop. It also shifts poorly (jumps when shifting). I took it to medina auto mall who said the transmission needs replaced. It only has 55,000 miles on it. I noticed there is an active recall for power tran on the ones made right before (or after, I can't remember exactly which way it was) my van was made which is very frustrating. I should not have a to replace a transmission on a van I just purchased 2 years ago that I have taken great care of and has low miles on it. I paid 21,000 for this vehicle and it is disturbing that they are telling me the transmission is bad. I have 3 children and it is dangerous to be driving them around in this vehicle. Unfortunately, we are unsure what to do right now as we don't have the funds to put that much money into it. I put a date as to when it last happened but it has happened many times.

I was driving along in motion, an all of a sudden the car just completely shut down. The steering wheel locked up and the brake got tight. Thank god I was on a slow street so I was able to stop the car and put it in park and the car started right back up again. This happened to me once in October and once again a month later in November. In November I was on a regular street in traffic and the car shut down. I was able to put it in park and start it back up again. This is so scary and a safety problem. Thank god I didn't cause an accident.

The car has 25,000 miles on it. Starting out from my house down a hill the power steering and brakes were not working as apparently the engine stopped. I restarted and drove about 15 miles and was on I-26 in tn at 65 mph and the engine RPM dropped to 0, power brakes and steering were inoperable but I managed to get onto the shoulder but was in a dangerous spot with traffic speeding by. Car would start but I was afraid to drive it ass it was not safe if it cut out again on the interstate highway. Had it towed. Still not repaired and mechanic said it showed a code of both bank sensors. E has not found the problem as of yet but I understand Chrysler has had issues with engine stoppage. This is dangerous as my wife would not have been able to control the hard steering and brakes and likely would have wrecked.

The vehicle stalls and all electrical turns off when driving. When the vehicle is in motion and slowing down to make a turn the vehicle stops running and the whole electrical system turns off so there is no power steering, no brakes, the whole electrical system fails. The stability control light comes on after a few seconds and stays on until you pull over turn the key off and then back on. The vehicle restarts after you do this but it has happened 4 times in the last 3 days.
