ENGINE
ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 20-40 MPH - OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN IDLE MODE - ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES AFTER REFUELING AS WELL - GAS TANK WAS REPLACED WITH THE WARRANTY ISSUED BY CHRYSLER BY AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER HOWEVER A DAY OR TWO LATER I WAS BACK TO SEEING THE SAME ENGINE SHUT OFF ISSUES. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT TAKEN AS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS ENGINE SHUT OFF ISSUE - IT SHOULD BE REINVESTIGATED. *TR
