The first incident 01/13/2015 occurred while driving at 15 mph, all lights flickered, hvac system shut off, radio turned off, every light on dash flickered on and off. on 01/14/2015 when vehicle was started, the radio turned off and on continuously, each time the blower on heater stopped. later in the day, vehicle was running while parked. all lights flickered off and on, radio turned off and on, and fuel monitor reading went to 7 miles left before needing fuel. vehicle had a full tank of gas. i am terrified to drive this vehicle now. losing electrical power while driving is a recipe for disaster. *tr

While slowing to make a turn in a left turn lane, right knee contacted the ignition key causing the engine to shut down. i was already braking, so came to stop, without incident, and restarted the engine. chrysler sent us a notification of recall several months ago and indicated that they would notify us when parts were available to fix the problem. a subsequent notification suggested positioning the seat such that it would keep the knee from contacting the key. this is an absurd suggestion by chrysler. if i do what their suggestion says, i must drive with my arms almost fully extended, which then means that the driver is not optimally positioned for the air bag protection. i think that the us dept of transportation needs to call chrysler out on this and get the problem resolved before some unintended consequences occur as a result of their temp fix solution. *tr
