2007 Chrysler Pacifica Speed Control & Cruise Problems

ITS VERY BAD AN FREAKING ME AND MY KIDS OUT

THE SUV SHUTS OF WHILE MOVING. WHILE WE ARE DRIVING (IN MOTION) THE SUV WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WE HAVE TO RESTART IT BY PLACING IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE KEY. WE HAVE REPORTED IT TO CHRYSLER 3 TIMES AND WE HAVE SPENT $900 TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS AFTER WE PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ALL REPAIRS FOR THIS SUV WERE DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE LIFE OF THE SUV. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SUV HAS NOT DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM WHILE IN THE DEALERSHIP WHILE BEING REPAIRED AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES BY THEM WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY DID IT SHUT OFF WHILE MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING IT 2 DAYS AFTER WE PICKED IT UP. THEY ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. WE DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 4TH TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. THE TRUCK IS IN GREAT SHAPE BESIDES THIS PROBLEM THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS OF THIS VERY PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLERS AS WELL.
