WHILE DRIVING I-405N AT APPROX 63MPH, MY CEL & TC LAMP ILLUMINATED AND CAR STALLED OUT LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING FUNCTIONS, THEN SUDDENLY IT TURNED BACK ON AND RED-LINED FOR ALMOST 20SECS STRAIGHT LEAVING ME AT WOT SPEEDING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE DASH FLASHED SOMETHING IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RIGHT BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF BUT TOO QUICKLY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO READ IT, THE WHITE BOX THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE SELECTED GEAR TURNS ORANGE AND HIGHLIGHTS ALL GEARS, THEN TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER FALL TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE THE DASH DISPLAY ON MY PHONE WHEN IT WAS OCCURRING BACK -TO-BACK. I PULLED FAULT CODES(U0101,U1110,U1120,U11BC,U0121,U0100,U212). I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, THEY JUST RESET MY CEL LAMP AND SAID BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ECM AND TCM PROGRAMMING, OR THE MODULES THEMSELVES. INCLUDED IS SCREENSHOT FROM THE VIDEO I RECORDED AS IT STALLED ON THE FWY FOR THE 3RD TIME IN 10 MINUTESS.

TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION: THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE DODGE AWD RT MODEL MALFUNCTIONS AND CREATES A GROANING SOUND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING ON FLAT OR LOW TO STEEP ROAD INCLINES. IF UNCHECKED IT MAY LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND AWD SUBSYSTEM. SINCE THIS TORQUE COMPONENT IS NOT A REGULARLY STOCKED ITEM AT MOST DODGE DEALERSHIPS, IF THE COMPONENT FAILS THE WAIT TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT CAN BEEN UP TO A FEW WEEKS. MY DEALERSHIP BROWN DAUB DODGE, A 5 STAR DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN EASTON PA, SAID THERE WERE ONLY TWO COMPONENTS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE USA!

WHILE DRIVING ON A TOWN ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE ABS AND ESC SYSTEMS LIT. I SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER SINCE THE VEHICLE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL PERFORMED FOR ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT, AND SYMPTOMS INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL - CHRYSLER P60 / NHTSA 14V-634 - INDICATE THAT MODES OF FAILURE MAY INCLUDE DISABLING ABS AND ESC. CHRYSLER STATED THAT "SOMETIMES THEY MAY NEED TO DO THE RECALL AGAIN". BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS A SENSOR FAILURE. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.SERVICE WRITER STATED THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENS ON THESE CARS QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND EVEN "GUESSED" CORRECTLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE TECH WORKED ON IT. ESC AND ABS ARE BOTH SIGNIFICANT SAFETY SYSTEMS.
