SAFETY RECALL S61 / NHTSA 16V-668. THIS WAS ALREADY FIXED AND COMPLETED BY THE EWALD CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN FRANKLIN WI, PHONE 414-369-4552 A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THE WEBSITE INDICATES THIS RECALL IS STILL OUTSTANDING AND I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL JUST LAST WEEK. COULD YOU PLEASE FIX THE WEBSITE TO SHOW THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED. THIS WAY YOUR RECORDS WILL BE CORRECT AND I WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE MAIL ABOUT THE S61 RECALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH! P.S. I ALREADY SENT AN EMAIL THROUGH THE 'MOPAR' WEBSITE TODAY AS WELL.

MY VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF/STALL WHILE DRIVING, LOSING SPEED CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN I CAN COUNT. ON RESIDENTIAL STREET, MAIN HIGHWAYS, AND FREEWAYS WHILE DOING SPEEDS UP TO 70MPH. IF I AM ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. AFTER 2HRS THE VEHICLE WOULD START. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HOOKED UP A TRACKER AND SAID IT WAS ONE THING AND FIXED IT AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. FIRST INCIDENT WAS MOTHERS DAY MAY 2017
