Shortly after I filled up my car it started stalling out. I was on the freeway and the car completely power down and shut off. I was able to pull over to the side of the road waited a few minutes and restarted the car. The car is continuing to stall out and I don't know what else to do. I have been to the dealership and they are not aware of what to do and just want me to bring it in an let it sit. But I need transportation that does not stall out and it is very dangerous my children were with me in the car when I lost power.

Vehicle will not shift into gear from park. No warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard, there is nothing indicating there is any issue. Pressing the brake does not seem to unlock the shift lock mechanism that would allow me to shift into gear. Contacted Chrysler group and was informed that although there have been recalls for the same problem in other model years, the 2006 model year is not currently covered.

I filled up the gas tank and shortly after entering the highway and accelerating the engine stalled on me in the middle of traffic. It took several attempts to restart. Since then it has stalled on me every time I fill up the gas tank so I have only been filling it 3/4 full and I have no problem. I found out there was a recall for the problem (PE13-016) and called Chrysler but was told my VIN number was not covered even though it fit the exact criteria of the recall. Chrysler could not tell me why my vehicle was not covered.
Engine begin making a loud knocking noise steering wheel locked up could not turn or do anything with the car. I immediately put hazards on, noise stopped car began to slow down until it completely stopped. Car would not start back. Later found out it was do to oil sludge built up. Oil light never came on when the oil was out causing engine failure.

After filling up the fuel tank, after approximately 30 seconds the engine shut down. It was hard to restart, but finally restarted. When pulling out fromt the fueling station, the car began to buck and jerk intermittently. When stopped at a red light, it stalled again. I restarted the car. When I proceeded when the light turned green, the car again stalled. This occured for the next 5-6 miles, then stopped occurring. This happened every time I refilled the fuel tank. Since ooa 15 December 2011, I cannot fill my fuel tank and have to stop it before the nozzle shuts if off. If I inadvertenly let it fill until the nozzle clicks off (doesn't matter the fueling pump/station), it will buck and stall for the next several miles until some of the fuel is burned off in the tank.
The car engine stopped and the brakes, the steering wheel did not work, and almost caused an accident.it happened several times when I turn the car to the left, then it dies in the middle of the curve, especially after filling the gas tank completely.

I purchased the used car on July 20,2013 from car center in waldorf, md. One week of driving the car I had to fill the gas tank up. Once I started to drive it the car began to stumble and shut off on me while I was driving. I immediately called car center and I was given a loaner car 08/01/13 and the car was supposedly taken to waldorf Ford and Dodge to have it looked at. I called the waldorf Ford and Dodge to discuss my car. They told me the only thing they did was cut a new key for the car, which I had them fax me the receipt of the work done. My car shut off another 2 times while I was driving, just after fueling. When I personally dropped the car off at waldorf Jeep and Chrysler dealership the technician told me that I'm not the first one to complain about my car shutting of while driving, just after filling up my gas tank. I asked him was there a recall on the car that was not done. He said they're investigating it. I asked him what do I do in the meantime, his [xxx] answer just don't fill it all the way up. On 04/16/14, my car stalled in the middle of a busy highway while I had the green light to cross it. We were almost side swiped by another vehicle because they're light turned green and I couldn't get the car started in time to get out of the way. I no longer feel that this is "safe" to drive but yet I'm still stuck with these payments! please help I love the car but want something that is safe to drive.

The noise started over a few months to now a gradual loud metal "ticking" noise when idling. I looked up various sites and apparently the rocker arm assemblies have had a problem in these vehicles of this age. I contacted Chrysler who refused to communicate and or take to do anything about this problem. I read that the rocker arm assemblies were faulty at the manufacturing date of these vehicles yet Chrysler will do nothing, there is apparently a new kit available to repair.. this is not a high mileage vehicle yet it has this loud metallic ticking noise coming from the engine and it is getting worse.
