MY 2017 CHRYSLER 200, THAT I PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 8, 2018 HAS STARTED TO JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE I'M DRIVING, WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN THE TYPE OF BUSY TRAFFIC THAT I DRIVE IN, DAILY. I'M THANKFUL THAT THE TIMES IT DID SHUT OFF, IT HAPPENED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, AND BEFORE I'D GOTTEN INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT SHUT DOWN ON DECEMBER 20, 2019 AT A STOP SIGN, AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON DECEMBER 22, 2019. BOTH TIMES, IT DIDN'T RESTART IMMEDIATELY WHEN I PRESSED THE START BUTTON. IT STALLED FOR A MOMENT THE FIRST TIME, AND PERHAPS 2 MINUTES THE SECOND TIME. I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY BLANKERS THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED, AND I LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW TO GO AROUND ME BECAUSE IT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER TO RESTART. THIS ISN'T SAFE, NOR IS IT GOOD FOR ME AS A CONSUMER. THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT AN ALMOST NEW CAR SO I WOULDN'T HAVE ISSUES SUCH AS THIS WHILE DRIVING.

I CAN BE DRIVING AT REGULAR SPEED BUT IF I TURN THE CORNER OR START TO DEXCELORATE OR START SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR WILL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE CAR DEALERSHIP KEEP SAYING IT'S NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2017 AND STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING, IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT ALSO FREQUENTLY STALLS. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS IN 2 DIFFERENT STATES AT LEAST 10 TIMES. TWO OF THE THREE DEALERSHIPS CLAIMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SOME SORT OF FUSE UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT. AFTER THE CAR CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO LOW OIL. I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER'S HEADQUARTERS WHO HAS GIVEN ME A FREE OIL CHANGE PACKAGE AND INSTRUCTED ME TO RETURN TO A DEALERSHIP EVERY 500 - 1000 MILES FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY KNOW THAT THE CAR IS BURNING AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF OIL WHICH IS A CLEAR INDICATION THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM. INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL, THEY CONTINUE TO PUT LIVES IN DANGER BY GIVING THEM BACK THEIR DEATH TRAP OF A CAR AND INSTRUCTING THEM TO CHECK AND GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES. I'M GUESSING THEIR HOPE IS TO KEEP THE OIL CHANGES GOING UNTIL THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. SOMEONE'S GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE OR GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THESE CARS, I JUST PRAY THAT IT'S NOT ME.
CAR WAS MOVING SLOWING DOWN FOR A BUMP AND JUST SHUT OFF. NO ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTHING CAME ON CAME TO A STOP AND TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START RIGHT BACK UP TOOK ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND FINALLY STARTED UP THE CAR ONLY HAD 44**** ON IT

May 17, 2018
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
