A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
In July 2015, my husband drove the car to Atlanta to pick me up from a conference. In rush hour traffic, the car began to lose power every time the car idled (which was a lot). This continued until we were out of traffic. For the next couple of days, this occurred every time we came to a stop, made a slow turn, and even once going over the railroad tracks. We took it to a dealer who immediately diagnosed it as the ignition switch recall. After 2 weeks, Chrysler provided me with a rental. I left the car at the dealer because the part was not available. It sat there for 3 months. In October, I was called and told that the car was ready. I picked it up. After an hour, it started to do the exact same thing with the new ignition switch! My husband and I barely avoided a serious collision while making a left hand turn into busy traffic. This time, the dealer said it was the battery. When I asked them how a weak battery could cause the exact same thing to happen, they said that a weak battery could make the same thing happen. I asked them if the problem could have been a weak battery the entire time (3 months) and I was told "possibly." After the battery was replaced, it has been driven about 70 miles with no more incident. I am scared to death of this vehicle because I'm not sure if the problem was related to the ignition switch or the battery. I have replaced the battery fairly often in the last 10 years. After seeing all the complaints about electrical systems and this model, I'm thinking it could all be related.
