THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. AS I'M SLOWING UP TO TURN, OR COMING UP ON A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR TENDS TO START STALLING. IF I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BEFORE STEPPING ON THE BREAKS, IT DOESN'T DO IT. BUT IF I DON'T PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL IT WILL STALL & THE RPM WILL DROP TO 0 & THE CAR WILL CUT OFF.

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR LOW SPEED VEHICLES KICKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES IN THE BEGINNING AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR FEEL IT HESITATE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TWICE ONCE IN 2012 THEN 2013 PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. ON 08/31/2015 THE CAR FINALLY STALLED OUT WHEN I WAS GOING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED IT IS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND A HARNESS THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY RECEIVED SEVERAL CODES WHEN HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL TWO DAYS AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AM QUITE SURPRISED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SINCE WE DO RUN THE LIABILITY OF BEING INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BY GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE CAR HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON I CAME TO A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I PROCEEDED I MADE IT INTO THE PARKING LOT AND THAT'S WHEN THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PUT BRAKES ON IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID HITTING A CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN MY WHEEL BECAUSE POWER STEERING WAS OFF BECAUSE ENGINE SHUT OFF. SCARED ME. I TOOK IT TO ROBERSONS DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS BECAUSE IT DID IT TWICE. THEY RAN COMPUTER TEST FOUND NOTHING WRONG. AND THEN TODAY THIS HAPPENED. I AM SCARED. I WILL TAKE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. MONDAY JAN 12 2015. I THEN READ THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AND CHRYSLER DID FIND A PROBLEM BUT NHTSA DID NOT FORCE THEM TO RECALL. SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED IF CAR STALLS WHILE CROSSING A ROAD AND GET SLAMMED INTO. THIS IS IN EXCUSABLE, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I AM SCARED AND FURIOUS AND SHAKEN UP. THE STEERING FELT WEIRD RIGHT BEFORE IT HAPPENED.

WHILE SETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THIS RENTAL VEHICLE (ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL), MY KNEE ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE IGNITION WHICH ENDED UP TURNING THE CAR OFF. REALIZING THAT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN, I ASSUMED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTING HADN'T TAKEN. I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS MANUALLY AND COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO SPEED UP. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AMONGST TRUCKS AND CARS GOING 65 MPH + ON THE 3 LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE HAZARDS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE INOPERABLE AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I NARROWLY ESCAPED COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER AND CONTINUE TRAVELING.
