| The car is started and acceleration begins without any problems. then within a fairly short time the car begins to decelerate and sometime completely stops. there were times when it jerked forward as the accelerator was pressed. it is currently at its 4th location which is also the 2nd dealership in trying to diagnose the problem. last week the dealership said they were 100% sure they knew the problem and how to fix it. after they did the repair the problem was still there. i am waiting for them to contact chrysler engineers. i am afraid to drive the car becasuse you never know when it will cut out and this could put me and my children in a very dangerous situation that could result in an accident. i have taken very good care of the car and expected it to last me another 1-2 years. this has been very upsetting as i do not have any other transportation and am a single parent.*ak | |||
