The vehicle randomly loses all power, which means no power steering and no brakes. It happens randomly and after searching online it appears others have the same issue faced back to the wireless ignition node being faulty. However the previous recall doesn't cover the vehicle I have which is experiencing the exact same symptoms. My wife has already had a close call as she is unable to steer the vehicle without power steering and the brakes don't work at all.

Car shakes and stalls when coming to a stop. No lights on the dash. Took it to a dealer and found it is the sensors in the transmission. These should not break on a van that has under 100,000 miles.

We have had multiple times when we are driving, and our vehicle shuts off and we lose power steering and power brakes. When the van does come to a stop, we are able to restart it and continue on. There is no warning that the van is going to shut off, it just does it. This is our family vehicle. I have found multiple forms online with customers complaining of the same issue with no positive results from the dealerships.

While driving at 70 mph on the highway on 8/13/23, the car electrical system failed. Power steering immediately failed. Brakes unresponsive. Lost control and almost veering into a semi beside us. Coasted and lane changed with no means to signal to others. Once we coasted to a near stop car was put into park without ability to press on break. After 3 min, attempted to start car again and it was responsive again.

Car was running perfectly at 70 mph on the highway and engine cut off without any warning or indication of poor operation, resulting immediate loss of power steering and loss power brakes. This has happened twice in 12 days on Nov 14 and now Nov 26 while driving to whole family to thanksgiving. Mechanic has not been able to duplicate the problem. Very scary. Car has 76K miles. Car will start right back up after 20 min and run perfectly fine. Car has been well maintained with extended warranty.

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.

On one of our last visits on June 12, 2019, I took my vehicle in because it was making an awful whining noise and jolting when accelerated and when I would brake it would shake. Upon inspection the dealer informed us that the whining and jolting was due to the transmission failing and needed replacing through warranty. They also told us my automobile was shaking when braking because it needed new brakes, which were not covered by warranty. I declined the replacement service for the brakes due to their excessive fees upward of $800. We picked up our vehicle on June 25, 2019, after the transmission issue was addressed. We then visited an auto brake vendor and they informed us our brakes were still good and didn't need replacing, not what the dealer told us. So we drove our car for 2 months with an unknown shaking when braking. Come August we begin to notice the vehicle jolting a bit again when accelerating. On August 28, 2019, while driving the vehicle with my 4 kids in it after school, the brakes gave out it; took me pressing the pedal to the bottom to finally get the car to stop, nearly missing the car in front of us. I pulled over immediately and called the dealer because I knew this was not a simple brake pad issue. The dealer told me to take the car to them immediately. When I arrived the service attendant informed us that the vehicle needed to be inspected which would probably not be until the following day since it was later in the afternoon. The following day I was informed by the dealer that the vehicles brake booster had failed and that the transmission and engine head bolts were broken. How is it that the transmission head bolts were broken when they had just reconstructed it 2 months prior and why was the braking issue not correctly diagnosed during that same June visit instead of trying to sell me overpriced brakes and putting my family in danger.
