| 2007 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | MY ENGINE STALLS WHEN AT STOP LIGHT/SIGNS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER REFUELING THE CAR. I HEARD OF OTHER CHRYSLER/DODGE MODELS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT ARE BEING INVESTIGATED THOUGH MY CAR IS NOT THE SAME ENGINE OR YEARS BEING LOOKED AT. ENGINE IS 2.4 L. IT DOES THIS FOR UP TO ABOUT 10 TIMES AND I CAN KEEP IT RUNNING IN NEUTRAL AND REVVING THE ENGINE. NOT SURE OF THE DATE THAT I FIRST NOTICES THIS BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR SO. MILEAGE AND DATE ARE FROM LATEST TIME. *TR |
| 2008 | ENGINE | DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR LOST ENGINE POWER WILL RUNNING VERY ROUGH. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND BECAME HARD TO HANDLE. WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ON A CITY STREET. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY STREET OR THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN STUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH NO OR VERY LITTLE POWER TO GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR MORE TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO WARNING OTHER THEN THE LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR |
