I WAS NOTIFIED IN EARLY JUNE, 2015 ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL #R03/NHTSA 14V-373 AND DIRECTED TO CONTACT A DEALER ABOUT THIS RECALL. I DID SO SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK LATER BECAUSE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALLED AGAIN ON 12/14/15 AND WAS PUT ON A WAIT LIST OF 40+ PEOPLE TO GET THIS FIX DONE. AGAIN I'M TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT SENDING OUT THE PARTS. LOOKS LIKE SLOW-WALKING IT TO ME. I FORMALLY REQUEST THAT CHRYSLER BE PUNISHED FOR THIS LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

WHILE DRIVING 55MPH ON I75 IN CINCINNATI,OH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES COULD ONLY BE MOVED WITH GREAT EFFORT. THE VEHICLE MUST BE IN THE PARKED GEAR SHIFT POSITION BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED THUS THE NECESSITY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SO AS TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION. WHEN GETTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE STEERING FEELS LIKE IT IS LOCKED. THIS SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE OVER THE LAST APPROX. 2 1/2 YRS. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT OFF PROBLEM. THIS LEAVES ME WITH A VEHICLE THAT APPEARS TO BE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE REQUESTED THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER TO ADVISE ME AS TO HOW THE VEHICLE CAN BE SAFELY DRIVEN. AND ALSO TO ADVISE ME IF THE AIR BAGS WILL FUNCTION NORMALLY AFTER SUDDEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. *TR
