ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR ENGINE STALLS. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUR SITE AND INDEED FOUND PE13016 BUT DISAGREE WITH THE FINDING BEING THAT IT IS A LOW SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE I WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHERE I CAN'T STEER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FUEL VAPOR LOCK IN WHICH THE EVAP VALVE STAYS OPEN AND DUE TO IT, THE ENGINE RUNS RICH BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. I WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL IN WHICH I HAVE STOPPED, HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS JUST BY FILLING UP. I HAVE HAD TO REV THE ENGINE TO BURN OFF GAS UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPS STALLING. EVERY TIME, I'VE STOPPED TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT AS WELL WHERE VISIBILITY IS LOW AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THANKFUL THAT IT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE I MADE THE TURN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I'VE BEEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND A FEW TIMES ON A HIGHWAY BUT EVERY TIME I WAS ABOUT TO TURN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I DIDN'T KNOW AND GOT THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR AND HAD THE POLICE TO COME BEHIND ME BECAUSE IN HIS WORDS, I WAS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION, SO THAT NO OTHER ONCOMING VEHICLES WOULD HIT ME. THE DATE THAT I PLACED ON WHEN IT HAPPENED IS THE LAST DATE IT HAS HAPPENED THUS FAR AS OF THIS WRITING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY CAR'S ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WITHIN THE SAME WEEK FROM A USED CAR DEALER. IT NOW AFFECTS MY HEADLIGHTS BY MAKING THEM FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE PAST YEAR AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THERE IS A PAST TIME DEVICE INSTALLED WHICH INTERFERED WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK OUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE ENGINE STALLS BEGAN. ENGINE STALLS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT NOT OFTEN. THE HEADLIGHTS HAPPEN EVERYDAY AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE IS BECOMING UNDRIVABLE BUT NO SERVICE TECH CAN FIND THE ISSUE.
