| The electro-luminesnce lighting for hte instrument cluster goes out randomly after starting the car after say fueling, or going to a store. there appears to be some correlation with engine temperature; i.e., it happnes more frequently when the engine is still warm. the condition does not allow me to view the instrument panel (fuel gauge, engine temperature, speedometer, or tachometer) all other warnings and monitoring are ok (e.g., tire pressure warnings, odometer, etc). | |||

| While idling at a stop light in ocean city, new jersey, engine surged then stalled. the car was then driven two blocks to a corner sunoco station and while idling at the gas station, the car again surged and died. car was taken to atlantic chrysler, but service could not duplicate the problem and the computer did not reflect it. jan. 13, 2013, while driving in atlantic city, nj, car engine revved and stalled while stopped at a stop light. the car surged forward slightly before breaks halted forward progress of car, nearly hitting the car in front of me. this happened twice before getting the car home. during the same trip the dash board light activated indicating the convertible top was in operation. the light did not deactivate until the convertible top had actually been activated, taken down and replaced. i have read a number of similar reports to this one. this is a dangerous situation and has to have a fix by now. *tr | |||

| As of sunday (7/20/08), i was driving and my engine cut off (no warning), power steering & breaks locked up....i lost control of my car. after my car came to a stop i attempted to re-start and it failed. i then placed the car in park, took the key out of the ignition, put it back in and the car cranked up. i drove it to the dealership monday (7/21/08) morning and got it back later the same day with zero help. they said nothing came up when they hooked it up to the computers. so if it happens again to let them know. that chrysler had no recalls or reported issues for this problem. i went on-line yesterday and learned a recall has been issued visiting other websites | |||
