Consumer Complaints for this DTC



2015 CHRYSLER 200 with 17400.0 miles

I was traveling on highway 17 and attempting to traverse an overpass at 66mph, when suddenly my check engine light came on and the car began to lurch and decelerate. I put on my hazards and was attempting to apply brakes and navigate to the shoulder when i lost my ability to steer the vehicle and the service transmission alarm began going off. I pressed the brakes until the car came to a complete stop (thankfully was not rear-ended) and turned the car off and back on. Luckily the car restarted, however after traveling less than 500ft the problem occurred again. This time i was able to pull into a parking lot and call my husband. I turned the car off and waited a few minutes before restarting, however the car only stayed on for about 45 seconds before it died and would not restart. I contacted Chrysler roadside assistance after providing my location, the customer service rep asked me the following question point blank "were you driving down the road and your car stalled?" to which i replied that it was curious she asked me that as it was exactly what happened. I asked her if it was a known issue and she said no she was just required to ask the question. The car was towed to the dealership and the following codes were noted: P2302, P2305, P2308, P2311. Intermittent aod and b feed circuits f3 3. The dealership flashed the pcm, inspected, repaired the pdc connector c4 terminal pushouts on pins 15 & 18. But after reading the numerous complaints here, i was not convinced that the issue was resolved. I contacted my friend and sales person who's father owned the dealership, and they assisted us with a vehicle trade as having your car die and lose steering at 66mph is a huge safety issue. I am amazed at the number of complaints on this site which has failed to raise alarm for both Chrysler and nhtsa....I guess someone has to die first due to this issue...

2004 JEEP LIBERTY with 10.0 miles

This car has an electrical issue that no-one can figure it out. It keeps giving us all these error codes: P0430, P2305, P2311, P2317 and P0430. We had replaced all the sparkplugs, the electric coils, battery, starter, the computer (pcm), ignition switch, the 02 sensor and still the car will not stay on and shakes while is running.
