What's wrong, in plain English
A voltage regulator chip on the circuit board inside the powertrain control module may fail. If this chip fails, the vehicle may stall while it is being driven, or it may fail to start at all. To correct this problem, Chrysler dealers will replace the entire powertrain control module with a new one so the vehicle does not experience this stalling or no-start condition again.
