Driving on interstate my dash lights/gauges went crazy (on/off,on/off). finally went back to normal. then in dec. i went out to start it & nothing, tried to jump it & nothing...end up buying new battery & it started right up. this month (may 10 2012) was driving to an appt. & dash lights all came on & then engine quit, pulled off road, turned key to off & back on (car started right up), no more trouble that day. may 13 2012 driving & dash lights would all come on & then go off several times, the engine didn't stop this time. what if i am on interstate again & it does this, injuring someone. i'm not happy with chrysler, there is no recall. mileage is 71, 200. apparently problem seems to be in the steering column, you just shake it or turn key off/on it quits. don't kav the money to fix & mechanic can't get it to this when he has car. *js
