 I thought the battery died as a result of a light being left on, but attempted to jump start the battery and would not start even after charging battery. it would not even make no noise trying to start it. was in the process of having it towed to a dealership and driver was able to get it started. then on 8/12/2012 was at gas station after getting gas and it would not start madeno noise while attempting to start it, finally started after removing and reinserting the power plug located under stealing column. taking into dealership in morning hoping they figure it out. *tr

 Car has stalled roughly 7-9 times. several times it has stalled while completely stopped behind another vehicle or at a red light and 2 times has stalled while making a left hand turn and i almost got nailed by on-coming traffic. the ignition is sticking when starting and the car is hesitating like crazy. i notice the car hesistates a lot and some time that day my car will stall. the air-conditioner is usually on when the vehicle stalls. i've had it back into the shop 2xthis week today will be my 3rd within a 10day time period. they can not find anything wrong and i'm terrified to keep my 2 yr old in this vehicle!

 Was driving car , took a left hand turn and car died in middle of intersection , had enough momentum to carry car through intersection so there was no accident. the car stared right back up seemed fine. the a/c was on but that should not have an effect on it. the car did the same thing 3 days before this and i was not turning , i was stopping behind a car that was turning. each time this has happened the a/c was on and it was within 5 miles of first starting the car. i did notice the rpm drop and then it seemed like to catch itself and rev back up. seems like it is related to the torque converter in the transmission or with the programming of the ecu. bringing it to dealer first thing in am.

 I bought this car on 4/11/2011, and this car shut off while driving the first time at 402 miles , it has happened another four times. the car dies like the key was shut off no warning of any kind. i took it to the dealer 06/22/2011 and as usual they could find no problem with it. i do know that dodge had this problem with the 2010 caravan, (falty win module) so i would think that someone would be able to figure out that this is the same problem. this situation must be taken care of before someone get's killed because their car died while in traffic
