Oh things have slowly been happening. At first nothing major to stop driving the car. I noticed the clock... not the digital one the other stopped telling time. Then my phone was not charging. My boyfriend was driving and where the radio and such is the light was super bright and bothersome in the evening driving. Then it appeared the car ran out of gas. It just quit while driving down the road. So put gas in and it started again. Went to the store turned it off. Wouldn't start back up. Waited a few moments and I believe he might have touched a couple wires and it started back up again. I drove a friend home and in the driveway it again died. I made it home only to not start back up.

I charged the battery and started it again hoping to run it long enough to really charge the battery. I didn't go as planned. The car just dies. While you are giving it gas.

I have watched so many videos and I can't believe this problem could be 2000 dollars. Come on Chrysler, its enough that the valve stems make my tires leak.

I am a 51 year old lady who is actually homeless currently and in need of this car on the road moving. Its all I have worth any value.

Its hard enough to find food for dinner. Fixing this is a must but what is wrong and how do you do it?

The bypass idea seems like a good one but I would like to hear from anyone who has done this.

Replaced battery in this vehicle twice in the time we've owned it. It currently has 81,800 miles on it. Bought it used and had 18,000 miles. Mechanic says there isn't anything pulling power from anywhere to damage the battery. Had it in the shop on 3 different occasions because it wouldn't start, claimed it was a bad cell in the battery, replaced it about a month ago. Today, the car won't start, engine won't turn over. Battery is fine, all electrical working. Now it's an engine problem.
