Car stalls loses power dies in the middle of intersections and busy highways has very high oil consumption no low oil indicator light has ever been displayed I have almost lost my life my children's lives even my family and friends lives due to this issue it's also causing me lots of extra expenses which might I say have gotten very expensive time after time again replacing the burnt oil all the time tow truck fees mechanic fees hotel fees part fees rental car fees all because the manufacturer of this vehicle could care less the safety of the people should always be more important than anything else point blank.
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.

Engine, motor mounts and transmission have been replaced and issue remains. Vehicle will also hesitate to start causing me to have to try again to start the vehicle. Battery has had to be replaced twice.
Engine stated overheating. Sometimes will not start and acts as if it will shut off while driving. I was told the active grille shutter failed on the car and have only had it for 3 yrs. I see a lot of review on these parts failing meaning they were made poorly. You don't know if the vehicle is going to cut off on you while your driving due to the air not being filtered to the engine. I feel like this is a safety hazard and should not have failed this fast.

Bought the car used in March of 2019. It is now spetember and I have had to change the oil 5 times just to keep the car running. It gives no indication of low oil. If I wasn't checking the fluid levels I most certainly would not have figured this out.
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.

Vehicle was in motion going up a hill while driving to work. The vehicle stalled and shut off while other cars were behind me. This happen at least three times while driving to work before I decided to take the vehicle to Chrysler for a diagnostic check up. Dealership service department decided to give me a tune up after paying 600 dollars to fix the problem. Several months later I continued to have issues with the vehicle stalling while driving. Later on Chrysler service told me my engine was shot due to anti freeze in the engine oil compartment. Now I have no car and a $6600 dollar maintenance quote to get a new engine.
Car stalls cuts completely off no matter speed when happens you can not operate the. Vehicle I was in the middle of a 5 lane freeway where my car stalled then does I had 2 stop completely there in middle of interstate put the vehicle in park then try to start multiple times before it finally started and 2 just do the exact same not even a minute later and as of now that's all the vehicle will do it's not drivable at all up to date.
As I drove the vehicle off the lot located in modesto, ca I drove to my home address which is located in antioch, ca. On my way home the car started jerking when I notified the dealership they said they will fix it and to drop it back off. They had the vehicle for 7 days and did not fix a thing because the vehicle cuts off any power and gas control on the freeway.
I have been informed that I need engine and transmission mounts due to jerkiness in car. I have also had issues with the car shutting off at lights, or any driving situation where I may be at standstill waiting to proceed. Ex: traffic clearing or waiting for parking space. At times it take 3-4 tries before it restarts and there is no warning that it is going to cut off. Lastly, the electrical systems inside car are unstable. The air bag light goes on and off, the bluetooth connection for phone isn't always reliable. Overall I am disappointed and wish I was in position to trade it in. Please encourage people to note issues they are having as well.

Cars tipn needs replaced after 35,000 miles. Car initially set all dash lights off, one front and one rear led light remained on even after key was taken out and never went out leading to dead battery. The car died on me while driving it about 20mph as I was attempting to pull out onto roadway causing near accident. Been without a car for last 3 weeks while trying to get diagnosis and repair. Total cost from going to several repair shops to get diagnosis and part to replace it is estimated to cost $1500-2000 which I cant afford. I am making payments on a car that I cant even drive. I am a college student and this was my first purchase of a car with my own money. This part needs to be recalled. I have read multiple complaints with the same issue. One Chrysler repair shop made comment that he was surprised they havent had a recall on that part due to all the ones he has seen needing replaced. This needs to be fixed and Chrysler needs to be accountable.
The engine turned off while I was driving and the power steering quit working. The screen alerterted me to put the car into park. I put the car in park and was able to restart the engine.
