She was driving with two feet and while braking she was hitting the accelerator at the same time? Causing a safety feature to kick in?

No, but on vehicles with electronic throttle control, this can set a code in the PCM.

If it wasn't the fuel sloshing around when it was low I'm lost.

Scott says she has a massive amount of key chains/weights/decorations that are under hard braking, it's weight of the key is turning the key to the accessory position thereby killing the motor?

Agreed. Could have been like a pendulum effect

Bingo! Leave it to the Scott to connect the dots! The amount of keys, chains and trinkets was literally in excess of 3 lbs. Well done, Chief!

So the bigger question, did she have to pay out of pocket for all the new parts and labor? Was it under warranty at the time or was it an out of pocket expense?

I don't get why people like to carry around that much stuff on their key chains. I keep mine with the minimum as I can for ease of carrying.

Interesting one for sure though.

I am the same way...it's more comfortable to carry in a pocket. A lot of Women though just throw it in their purse so i guess they don't care how much is on there

Since the buyback was already in progress, Chrysler took it back.
