FOR MONTHS NOW MY CAR KEEPS STALLING I HAVE 62,000 MILES. I WILL BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND CAR WILL STALL. IT WILL START BACK UP AND THEN STALL AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE AND SAID NOTHING APPEARED IN THE CODES AS THERE WERE NO ISSUES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY CLAIM THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THAT THEY RELY ON THE DEALERS TO DIAGNOSE. TODAY MY CAR STALLED AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND I SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED BACK UP AGAIN WHILE RECORDING IT ON MY PHONE WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND THE OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLEASE DOCUMENT AND LET CHRYSLER KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ MANY INSTANCES ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING AND CONSUMERS REPLACING THE ETC JUST TO HAVE IT ACT UP AGAIN. THE COST TO REPAIR IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 400-800 DOLLARS. AT 62K I FEEL THAT THEY PUT A VEHICLE ON THE MARKET AND NOW SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FROM THE CONSUMER TO INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A RECALL.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY . SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING IT WILL EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER AND OR ROUGH IDLING . SOMETIMES IT WILL SEEM AS IF THE GAS PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED ON ITS OWN . SOMETIMES IT WILL LOSE POWER AND ONLY DO 10 MPH EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED . SOMETIMES THE CAR DIES COMPLETELY . USUALLY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WILL SOMEWHAT FIX IT WHERE IT WILL AT LEAST DRIVE .
