Driving the car and the engine shut off on me. Brakes didn’t work. Steering didn’t work. Just coasted on a busy highway to safety. I’m lucky I’m not dead. No warning it would happen.

Auto stop and start failed while driving causing the vehicle to not start back up at a stop light when the light turned green. It took shutting the ignition off and restarting the vehicle to get going again. This created an unsafe situation in traffic that very well could have resulted in an accident due to the brakes being released and tail lights going out and the vehicle stalling instead of taking off. Had the driver behind me not been paying attention I would have been rear ended. Message currently displayed on dash shows auto start,stop disabled and needs serviced.

The current recall, NHTSA 23V-010, on my vehicle can not be resolved. The manufacturer customer service stated that repair instructions would be released within the 1st quarter or 2nd quarter of 2023. That could be up to six months. I am losing a lot of money because I can't fix the issue. Currently, I do not have any noticeable issues with my vehicle, but Chrysler Customer Service is telling me that even though there is a risk for an accident to occur due to the recall, it is okay for me to continue driving it. This is unacceptable and I think Chrysler should be pressured to move quickly to repair safety recalls or they should have to pay customers subject to the recall for the time they are unable to use their vehicle. This would include either payment for the monthly vehicle loan (or equivalent cost) or payment for a rental vehicle. This particular recall could result in a crash, a fire, injury or a fatality.

Exiting I-75, vehicle initially slowed but then accelerated while braking. Result was a collision with vehicle on exit ramp. Vehicle is still at collision shop. There was no forward collision warning. Air bags did not deploy despite impact that resulted in radiator being punctured by hitch of pick-up truck.
