CAR RANDOMLY STALLS, SOMETIMES WHILE STATIONARY AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 27, 2016
FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE PERTAINING TO LACK OF FUEL TO ENGINE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD HARD STARTING AND STALLING, NOW THE VEHICLE WON'T START. AFTER INVESTIGATING COMMON ISSUES (I.E., AIR, FUEL, SPARK) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL WAS NOT TRAVELING TO THE FUEL RAIL AT THE ENGINE. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IN NON-OPERATIONAL DUE TO THE LACK OF FUEL. I FELL THIS ISSUE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE NHTSA PE13016 INVESTIGATION WHERE THE DETERMINATION WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AS THE INTEGRATED MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE (MFCV) WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT WAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WERE EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.7L AND 6.1L 8-CYLIDER ENGINES. WE FIND THIS INACCURATE AS OUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5L 6-CYLINDER AND IS SUSPECT TO HAVE THE IDENTICAL ISSUES AS STATED IN THE ALL OF THE INVESTIGATIVE DOCUMENTS FOR PE13016.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 20, 2016
AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE MY CAR WILL STALL AND RANDOM INTERVALS. SIMPLY DRIVE AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SO I'D START IT AND THEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THIS LARGELY HAPPENED WHILE I'M STATIONARY SO I WASN'T VERY CONCERNED UNTIL I HAD IT STALL WHILE I WAS TURNING ON TO A STREET AND ALMOST GOT SIDE SWIPED BY AN ON COMING CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY THE COMPANY AS THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED IT AS AN ISSUE AND I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE FILE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THIS IN MY OPINION IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE SIR BAG ISSUE MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR. CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAS ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND STATED IT'S A VALVE I CAN'T RECALL THE NAME OF THE SPECIFIC PART AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK.

PULLED IN TO GAS STATION BECAUSE MY GAS LIGHT CAME ON WITH MY WIFE AND 3 OF MY CHILDREN, ONE BEING ONLY 1 YEAR OLD, AND A TRUNK FULL OF FRESH MEATS AND FISH FROM THE MARKET ON A HOT GA DAY 45 MILES FROM HOME, PUT IN $30 WORTH OF GAS WHICH ALMOST FILLED IT UP, WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT STARTED JERKING, CLICKING AND SHAKING REAL BAD BEFORE IT JUST DIED. AS SCARY AS IT WAS THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING I TRIED TO START AGAIN AND GOT THE SAME RESULT. WITH THIS KIND OF LOAD AND A BABY ON A HOT DAY, BROKE AND NO OTHER WAY HOME, I TRIED A FEW MORE TIMES UNTIL IT STOPPED TURNING OVER AND JUST MADE A CLICK SOUND, 1 CLICK. A TIRE SHOP GUY ACROSS THE STREET SEEN I NEEDED HELP, DUE TO THE BABY NOW HUNGRY AND CRYING, CAME OVER TO SEE IF HE COULD HELP. AFTER TRYING TO START AGAIN HE SAID MAY BE MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR OR STARTER SO HE WENT TO THE PARTS STORE AND GOT AN H7 LOANER BATTERY. ONCE INSTALLED TRIED STARTING AND AGAIN IT STARTED JERKING, CLICKING AND SHAKING REAL BAD BEFORE DYING. ANOTHER GUY WALKED OVER TO HELP, AGAIN DUE TO THE BABY CRYING, AND SAID THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR FUEL PUMP AND SAID "I HEARD OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AND THEY(DEALERSHIP) HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR GAS TANK FOR FREE". I HAD TO PAY WELL OVER $100 FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO PAY A COMPLETE STRANGER TO FOLLOW ME HOME WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM IN THE TOW TRUCK FOR THEM. I'VE NEVER HAD ISSUES LIKE THIS WITH MY CAR BUT NOW AS I'M RESEARCHING FOR DIY RESOLUTIONS I'M FINDING THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I'M NOW OUT OF MONEY. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND AM THE ONLY ONE IN MY HOUSE WORKING AND THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION THAT I AM STILL PAYING A NOTE ON. BY THE WAY, TRIED TO START MY CAR AGAIN AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME EFFING THING. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FAST!!!
