I HAVE REPORTED MY ISSUES OF MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WEATHER IT BE 25MPH OR ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT BY DEALERSHIPS AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. MY LAST INCIDENT LMAO THIS CAUSED ME TO FLIP MY CAN AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH. MY CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, SO THEN I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK ONE I'M ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS CAUSE ALL MY LIGHT TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. MY ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO VIBRATE OUT OF THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I'VE BEEN REPORTING TO MY DEALER AND THE MECHANICS FOR ALMOST 2YRS NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ( FIAT SERVICE ) TO GET HELP TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD I MAY HAVE TO BE IN A WRECK FOR ANYTHING TO BE DONE.

I HAVE CHILDREN I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CAR STALLING ON MY AND COMPLETELY LOOSING POWER TO EVERYTHING.
