VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 5 TIMES IN THE RECENT PAST. 1X19 OCT; 2X31 OCT; 2X7NOV. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS ALL POWER IS LOST FOR BREAKS, STEERING, AND OBVIOUSLY NO ACCELERATION. CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL P54 HAS BEEN APPLIED PRIOR TO THESE ISSUES. DEALER AND CHRYSLER ARE CHARGING ME CUSTOMER (AT MY EXPENSE) TO FLASH NEW SOFTWARE FILES ON THE VEHICLE COMPUTERS. I SENSE THIS IS VERY LIKELY A MUCH BROADER SAFETY ISSUE AND AM HOPING OUR GOVERNMENT (NHTSA) OFFICIALS WILL INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS.

I PILLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PULLED THE A PILLAR AND PULLED DOWN THE HEADLINER. FLAMES WERE PRESENT, I REACHED IN THINKING IT WAS A WIRE (IT WAS) SUSTAINED BURNS ON MY RIGHT HAND. GRABBED THE OWNERS MANUAL , LOCATED THE FUSE FOR COURTESY LIGHTS UNDER THE HOOD, PULLED THE 15 AMP FUSE (WHICH HAD NOT BLOWN). REMOVED THE SUN VISOR AND VANITY LIGHT, AND ASSOCIATED WIRING. FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED AT THAT POINT. REMOVED THE VISOR AND WIRING, FOUND A BURNED CONNECTOR AND SMOLDERING WIRING. GRABBED A SIDE CUTTER AND TERMINATED THE WIRING TO THE LIGHTED VANITY LIGHT, AFTER REMOVING THE CENTER UPPER MAP LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I SUSTAINED MINOR BURNS RIGHT HAND (THREE FINGERS).

CHRYSLER RECALL # P54 REGARDING TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WAS APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. IT TOTALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS PRIOR TO THE SO CALLED "FIX" VIA P54. MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING HOME LAST NITE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILST BREAKING AND COMING TO AN INTERSECTION. THIS WAS THE SAME AS LAST NITE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS CORNERING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. BATTERY IS FINE, FUEL IS FULL, I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 4,000 MILES OR LESS AND ROTATE THE TIRES EVERY 6,000 MILES. THIS TIPM IS A REAL PROBLEM. SHUTTING A VEHICLE DOWN WHILE MOTORING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I SINCERELY HOPE THE NHTSA TAKES ACTION ON THIS BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. *TR
