Starting issues, starts up and quickly cuts off. All lights and power are on. Plenty of fuel in tank but not overfilled. I think it is the fuel injection area. I worry it will just cut off due to that while driving. This has happened at least 3 times in the past 3 weeks, it is becoming more frequent.

On most occasions, the car will not start and continues to crank when either using the push start, manual key fob, or auto start. It cannot be moved once stalled. If you attempt to restart too quickly or after several attempts,…

Recall was not effective at solving the problem and chrysler is now billing customers for the…

Intermittent stalling usually during deceleration. Four times in the past 3-months. Twice while slowing for a right turn, once while slowing on a downgrade. The vehicle can only be restarted if in park forcing the need to come to a complete stop and shifting into park. The only indication is the loss of engine noise, power steering and confirming using the tachometer. This condition could lead to a rear collision on…

Car stalled 2 times, towed to jim click jeep in tucson r09. My fuel pump was replaced for $1284 at only 81,230 miles. I believe the go around fix of a cable vs replacing the computer caused my fuel pump to fail prematurely, and i could have been hit when my car stalled 2 times in motion
