## Narrative
CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING.  THIS MEANS I HAVE VIRTUALLY NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES.  A FEW TIMES IVE DRIVEN INTO CURBS TO KEEP FROM HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND TO STOP MY VEHICLE.  THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE TRAVELING ON CONGESTED STREETS.  IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM, HAPPENING ON RAINY DAYS, SUNNY DAYS HOT DAYS AND COLD DAYS.  MY MECHANIC SAYS CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.  WHILE THAT'S MY NEXT STEP, THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.  AND IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL?  *JB
