Description of the problem | My vehicle started acting up a few times when i would go to start the vehicle, the engine would turn over and then stall out. I thought it was strange, but continued to drive it. While driving down an ice and snow packed road in the middle of traffic my vehicle stalled out; lost all power steering, brakes locked up, lights shut off, and i almost ended up rear-ending the car in front of me going 45 mph. I pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and was able to get it started again. Since then i have taken it to the car dealership and they told me the win module needed replaced along with the key fob ($725) that was not covered under my warranty. Upon further investigation i see this is a common problem. I called chrysler headquarters and they told me that there was nothing they could do about it. This is a serious issue and needs a recall! It has done it several more times while driving. I have no other choice but to drive the vehicle due to it being my only means of transport. Something needs to be done about this. I've had the truck less than a year. |
