VEHICLE ENGINE QUITS COMPLETELY AND ABRUPTLY WITH NO WARNING. THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER HAS CHANGED THE DISTRIBUTOR 4 TIMES, EVERY 10,000 MILES. THE LAST THREE TIMES IT FAILED WE WERE ON EITHER MAIN ROADS OR THE EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT. WHEN THE ENGINE QUITS WE LOOSE POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY CAUSING A MAJOR BACK UP AND BRAKE SQUEALING BEHIND US. IT IS TO THE POINT WHERE OUR PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE, BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER TELL US THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND WE MUST TOLERATE THIS EXPENSIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN ALL CASES ALL FAILURES RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY AND NECESSITATED A TOW VEHICLE.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
