UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MINI CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THERE IS RECALLS FOR OTHER VIN # BUT MY VIN # IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILD AFTER MARCH 2006. EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME VEHICLE PROBLEM THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER MY VEHICLE. I WILL LIKE AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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!!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFILLING MY TANK WITH GAS, MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO STALL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFILLING, I STARTED MY CAR AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS IT SHUT OFF. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS OF STARTING IT AND REMAINING STATIONARY, MY CAR FINALLY REMAINED ON FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AND I ASSUMED IT WAS SAFE TO BEGIN DRIVING. 5 MINUTES INTO DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, FORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND TURN INTO THE NEAREST SHOPPING CENTER WHERE I CONTACTED CHRYSTLER, WHO CLAIMED THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE. I'VE SEEN A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS WITH SIMILAR, IF NOT THE SAME, ISSUES I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, ENGINE STALLED WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LEAVING ME STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. ENGINE WILL STALL COMING TO A STOP, ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, TURNING CORNERS, AND A COUPLE TIMES WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN YOU RESTART MOTOR, TRANSMISSION WILL NOT REENGAGE RIGHT AWAY. DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN IF YOU KEEP FUEL LEVEL BELOW 14 GALLONS. DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT MIGHT BE A VALVE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FUEL UP, CAR STALLS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS I WAS TURNING IN FRONT OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND CAR STALLS AND CAR JUST STOPS. WAS ABLE TO HAVE CARS AVOID HITTING ME AND EVENTUALLY STARTED CAR AGAIN - ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL ONCE AGAIN. CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT FOR A 10 YEAR CAR - THIS IS A LIMITED EDITION DAYTONA. VERY UNHAPPY TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND DODGE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO REMEDY THIS 'MANUFACTURER FAILURE'! SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING SELLING THIS VEHICLE AND SWEARING OFF ALL DODGE MAKES IN THE FUTURE.......HAVE BEEN A LOYAL DODGE CONSUMER SINCE THE 70'S!
