Going home from work, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes from my job, and traveling at approximately 40-42 mph my engine just stopped....no sounds, no warning lights, nothing. just tried to up my speed to go up a very small incline, and nothing...headlights still worked, no power steering, no brakes.......managed to pull over.........shaking like a leaf on a tree, because i am 65 years old, alone, no family to call, no one.....and this was a little after 9pm at night on nov 2nd. called my mobile mechanic the next day and he gave me this info to file a complaint. he said this is very serious. i was on buford hwy <four lane road> speed limit 45 mph going straight and approaching a red light on a very small incline.

When heat is on, the passenger side blows cold (i live in wi so, when i say cold, i mean cold) air from every blowing port on the passenger side... occurs at all times, whether stationary or in motion. have tried a few things reccomended on multiple other pages by people who are experiencing the same exact issue. no help. the driver side vents do blow warm air but, not close to as hot as it should be. this has been occurring since right around 118,000 miles. i start my car 20 minutes before i leave my house at 5am to bring my young children to daycare and be to work by 6. when getting in after being started for 20 min... barely any difference in temp which, is frustrating when you drive with your babies 35 minutes in the cold cold cold along with several deer and a windshield that won't defrost completely. have purchased the extended warranty from dealer and, somehow (what a shock) there is no help for me as 'the issues being described sound like it was brought on by you, the vehicle owner or, enviorment factors'... it hurts knowing you are a loyal and honest ...

I was driving along the freeway and the car just automatically went into limp mode. i change the oil i flush everything then when i went on to the kelly book blue book to try to sell it as saying that it had a bunch of recalls welcome to find out chrysler saying it doesn't so i don't know what's going on with my car and neither do mechanics.
Takata recall.- i am approximately 2 years old with the light from the driver's airbag turned on all the time. i had it reviewed and i was informed that it is a defect in the bag and that it will not be opened in the event of an incident. two years have passed and no revision is called for replacement. with the shift lever i was sent by chrysler a notice to carry out a revision, i did it and today after 2 years being in a street stopped and trying to make the change to drive i could never move it i just got stuck and could not drive more. how many more times will i have to call to do something about it? because i had to pay my composure and chrysler refused to reimburse me for that money arguing that my car is no longer guaranteed !!!!!
I was driving down the road and all of a sudden it was like the transmission shifted down to a lower gear, the engine reved up and then within a few mins stalled out. with no warning also all the warning lights were lit up. when i tried to restart the car it just clicked after jump start because of trying to start it ...restarted but still was "stuck" in the low gear and stalled out again. i then called a tow truck and had it towed home. i looked up recalls for the year of the model and found the recall #h33- tcm/pcm was recalled on 712 models by vin it says mine isn't one of those but by description it did exactly as the recall describes. i was on a very busy interstate road during 4th of july traffic and almost caused an accident trying to pull off the road as my car suddenly slowed down and then stalled
Upon acceleration to enter highway vehicle continued to accelerate as tho the throttle was to the floor. almost rear ended car in front of me. had to apply brakes and turn on caution lights and pull over. engine seemed as tho it was going to blow up. very scary. upon further inspection it seems as tho dodge/chrysler rushed production of the intake components to get cars to show room in all 08 with these intakes. chrysler later fixed the problem in all future vehicles. problem lies in cheap components in the runner flap assembly on the intake manifold. problem throws code p2008 and code p2017. flap sticks open and increases horsepower without intent of driver. chrysler knows about this problem because they fuxed it in future cars. i am sure all of these cars have this faulty component and therefore; depending on how and where it fails it can be extremely dangerous.
