I have had the vehicle towed 6 times, the vehicle goes completely dead, with new battery, once the vehicle sits for a half a day there is no power to start the car. I have talked to several other people and have had similar problems. I had car towed to Chrysler dealer ship and they said they did not want to work on it? There should be a recall, I have had many Chrysler vehicles but never this type of problem with the electrical. If you park my car on Friday when I get off work, by Monday morning it is completely dead. I have had the vehicle to two local car repair and electrical shops to no avail. (both shop owners said this is a Chrysler manufacture problem) I can be reached at [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While driving my child to school a short while ago today, my car accelerated on its own and would not brake. I was attempting to stop for an upcoming red light. The car accelerated without me pressing the gas and the brakes went completely out. I was able to avoid a collision. This lasted for under 1 minute, then suddenly the car decelerated and I was then able to brake.

I HAVE THREE CHRYSLER, DODGE CARS AND ALL THREE OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS MESSING UP ON THREE OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME. ONE OF THEM IS A 2011 CHRYSLER 300 WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES, 2010 DODGE NITRO TRUCK WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND A 2012 DODGE AVENGER OVER 100,000 MILES. I FEEL THAT DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD HAVE THIS AS ONE OF THE RECALLS. THE 2010 DODGE NITRO TRUCK MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING JUST CUT OFF ON HER ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SHE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. AND THE 2012 DODGE AVENGER IS SITTING UP IN MY DRIVE WAY NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE OF ITS SO EXPENSIVE TO GET THEM REPAIRED. MY 2011 CHRYSLER 300 AND 2010 DODGE NITRO TRUCK IS GOING IN THE SHOP TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE, BUT I FEEL DODGE, CHRYSLER JEEP SHOULD BE EATING UP THE COST FOR THESE REPAIRS. THE DODGE TRUCK STOPPED ON HER OCT 15TH ON THE FREEWAY, DURING TRAFFIC HOURS.
