ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY, THEN TURNS BACK ON. NOW THE IGNITION WONT WORK AT ALL. SOMETIMES A JUMP START WILL GET IT TO WORK. ITS SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY USELESS RIGHT NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON 4 SEPARATE OCCURANCES WHILE CAR IN MOTION THE CAR ENGINE STALLED AND REQUIRED RESTARTING. VARIOUS SPEEDS AT TIME OF STALLS 5 - 45 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING OVER A SET OF BUMPY RAILROAD TRACKS AT WHICH TIME THE CAR ENGINE STALLED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS ON LEVEL ROADWAY WHEN CAR ENGINE STALLED AND REQUIRED RESTARTING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED 11/17/15 AND THE CAR ENGINE STALLED 2 TIMES IN ONE DAY AT A SPEED OF 45 MPH. WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE RIGHT TO START THE VEHICLE IT TENDS TO HANG UP AND GET STUCK IN THAT POSITION. I FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON CERTAIN 2008 DODGE CHARGERS REGARDING IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS SO I CALLED TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS NOT INCLUDED - THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I TRAVEL A MAJOR INTERSTATE DAILY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I DID HAVE MY CAR CHECKED FOR INDICATOR CODES TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS INDICATED AND NOTHING FOUND.
