I was driving mid day, 35 mph on major city street and the engine shut off without any warning. as i was in right hand lane i was able to force the car to the curb even though the power steering had shut down. with the car stopped i could see there were no warning lights on and the it was still in "drive". after my nerves calmed i was able to start the car and drive on. this was a rental car that i had driven for 1,700 miles during the past 10 days with out a problem. however an hour before i had been on a major interstate highway in a driving rainstorm. had it shut down without warning there i am sure the accident would of shut that interstate for hours.
I was driving on the freeway and noticed that it was struggling for power. i exited. at the stoplight my car started shaking and puttering. `when i pressed the gas to go the car puttered like it didn't want to go, but then did. so i drove to the car dealership on the next exit. my car shut itself off in the entrance to the dealership. the mechanic reported that a fuel injector had exploded and was spewing raw gas. my car is now in the shop awaiting parts. another issue is that it easily slips int reverse while driving. serious safety concerns!

The car kept losing power in the middle of driving and no engine lights were popping up to show that anything was wrong with the vehicle. the first 2 times were in reverse. the power cut off and i was unable to move the steering wheel or brakes. i was able to restart the car and go. the third time i was going forward on a highway. i slowed to turn on and the power cut off in the middle of the turn. i was unable to control the steering wheel or brakes. luckily i was not around other vehicles and the car slowed to a stop on the side of the road in grass. this occurred with a young child in the car and it scared both of us. i was able to then start the car again and get it into the dealership service department the next day. the service department could not find anything wrong with the vehicle when they hooked it up to their machines. they drove the car for a week and were unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle. the last day when they took it for one more drive the car died on them in the middle of driving. they hooked the car up again and it showed that nothing was wrong. when they contacted chrysler corporation they told them to look at the engine. that is when they found metal shards and other things wrong with the engine. the corporation had known that some of these engines were faulty but had not notified the dealership or the consumers that they could be driving a car with a faulty engine. this was most definitely a safety issue and especially concerning since we had been driving our young children in the vehicle with us. i believe the consumers should know that they could have faulty engines and not know because the service machines do not detect the problem and chrysler is not giving out the information.

On 6/4/2018 i picked up my vehicle from the service department at my local dealership after taking it in for the abs and traction control lights being on and loss of power. the dealership advised they did an update on the power control model and fixed a wheel speed sensor. while on the freeway about 9 miles away from the dealership the lights (abs and traction control) came back on and the rpms went up. the vehicle was in cruise control and the vehicle had a 5mph loss in speed but went back up to 65mph with the raise in rpms. while going to exit the freeway and applying the brakes the cruise control would not disengage. i immediately placed the vehicle in neutral and turned the engine off and pulled to the right hand shoulde allowing the vehicle to coast to a stop.. after pulled over i applied the brake and placed the vehicle in park and turned the vehicle back on. the abs and traction control lights remained illuminated. i called the dealership and was advised to bring the vehicle back and i advised i would bring it back in the morning and would not use the cruise control. this is now the second time the vehicle will be going to the dealership for the same issues which include the abs and traction control lights being illuminated with the traction control and abs not working, loss of power and high rpms and bluetooth not working (not a major concern). this is the first time the cruise control has failed to disengage and only my fourth time using cruise control as it is a new vehicle and i don't use it much on the freeway.
