While driving to work on a smooth straight road, the emergency information screen in my gauge cluster started flashing and stated "service power steering" "service electronic brake system" "service electronic brake controller" "service transmission" it also stated to not shift to park as shifting may become inoperable once stopped. My power steering was gone, my gas pedal was inoperable and braking was very weak. I had to muscle the truck to the side of the road and slowly come to a stop and shifted into park. I turned the key fob to off and let it sit for a few minutes. When I tried to restart the vehicle it would not even attempt to turn over. Now, my key fob was also stuck in the ignition and would not turn to the off position to remove the key. I called Chrysler roadside assistance and sat on hold for 55 minutes before the first person answered the phone. After 10-15 min we had a tow truck set up but that wouldn't be there for another 75 minutes. So from the time I called to when the tow truck actually arrived it was almost 2.5 hours! good thing it wasn't the middle of winter. They replaced the ignition module. That wasn't the problem. Then they thought it was the BCM. That didn't work as they now "only have communication with half of the vehicle". I'm still not sure what that means but that's where we are at day 7. I do not want this vehicle back. I do not feel safe driving it if the service department has no idea how to properly fix it or even know if they have properly fixed it with their guess and check methods. If I had been traveling at higher speeds or pulling a trailer when this happened, the outcome could have been disasterous! or even worse if my wife had been driving in 4WD and lost power steering there is no way she could have pulled the vehicle over safely. Huge safety concern that I want no part of. This is on top of the 5+ recalls.

On 13 may I was coming to a metered light when a lane splitter caused me to hard brake to avoid the splitter. My truck, with no prompting from me shut off. I was nearly rear ended by a semi behind me. On 6 June I was coming to a light and nearly stopped and my truck shut off. On 7 July I was coming to a stop at a stop light and my truck shut off. Each time this happens the truck turns off, the turn dial flashes "P" (as it is currently in D). I put the truck in P, turn the ignition back on, place turn dial into D and drive. Each time carl burger Dodge says that my truck doesnt "code" and they cant recreate the issue. I provided them with video's of what happens that I found on youtube and thats when they started a "star" case with Chrysler main. My Chrysler customer care assistance admits there is an issue saying "the tech's are working on it" but then says the best they can do is "give me 3 free years of oil changes". I am a disabled veteran and I have reached lemon law status but carl burger is not doing anything and Chrysler says its carl burgers responsibility to take my truck back but carl burger says its Chrysler. This truck is going to get me killed. There is another reported case in chula vista, ca and Chrysler also gave them 3 free years of oil changes just like they did with me. Your recall didnt include this year/make and model and it cant just be my truck, there is a Dodge forumn that has this issue on the entire thread but since no customers vehicles "code" Chrysler is keeping this quiet, I think they really have no idea what it is. Carl burger says they cant keep taking my truck apart but "we believe you". please look into this.

I pulled up in my driveway. I shifted my gear into park. I took my foot off of the break open the door & step out of the truck at that time the truck started to roll away. The driver side door hit me in the back, the driver side tire rolled over my left ankle 1st I then fell to the ground while I was laying on the ground the same tire rolled over my right ankle. The truck then jumped the curb & ran into a wall with my grandmother inside of the truck.
