    The engine died just after fuel fill-up when i was leaving the lot and getting onto the street. While filling the tank, the pump stopped as if the tank was full, but when i got in the car after fill-up, the gas gauge read only 3/4 full. When the engine died, there was traffic behind me and traffic ahead. I could have been in an accident or caused one. I shifted to neutral, and coasted and re-started the car. This is…

    I feel that chrysler is not honoring the agreement of extending the warranty on the fuel tanks as stated. Its been months and chrysler either isn't going to warranty the tanks or they are being very selective on which tanks they consider defective. My vin is not showing being covered by this warranty even though it meets all the qualifications. This is the message i received from the local dodge/chrysler dealership…

    While driving on the interstate after work my vehicle stalled out and i lost control. I had to strong arm the steering wheel to get the vehicle to veer onto the emergency shoulder lane. Vehicles behind me slammed on their brakes and honked their horns trying to avoid hitting my vehicle. Prior to the event i filled my gas tank.

    Multiple times in the last month when i have refueled, the vehicle is difficult to start and then runs extremely rough and usually dies on the road once or twice. The engine seems to rumble and shakes the vehicle and then after a short period of driving it seems to go away. The engine light blinks on and off while this situation is happening.

After the engine is restarted, driving /idle is rough for some amount of time before returning to normal. This happens all the time.
