PURCHASED/LEASING CAR FROM AMERICAN CAR CENTER AND FROM DAY 2 THERE HAD BEEN PROBLEMS BUT THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP 3X IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS. THE AIR BAG LIGHT LIGHT WAS ON. THEY HAD ME TAKE IT TO A PLACE THAT DOESN'T FIX THEM THEN THEY SENT ME TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CAR SEEMING LIKE IT'S GOING INTO NEUTRAL. AGAIN, ACC SENDS ME TO ONE OF THEIR SHOPS WHO SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND IT JUST NEED TO BE RESET SO THEY RESET IT. WELL THE SAME DAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED IT DOES IT TWO MORE TIMES ESPECIALLY GOING DOWNHILL. IT DOESN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR AS IT SUPPOSE TO. I PUT IT IN DRIVE BUT IT MOVES LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL THEN JERKS INTO DRIVE, NOT SAFE. IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN IT STALLS TO PULL OFF. THE PASSENGER SEAT GOT STUCK AFTER IT WAS LET BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SPEEDOMETER GLITCHES AND THE RADIO/PHN CONNECTION DOES WHAT IT WANTS TO. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHAT IT'S DOING SCARES ME WHENEVER I DRIVE IT. THE DATE IT LAST HAPPENED IS LISTED BELOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START WHILE DRIVING (2 TIMES )TOWED TO DEALER AS (BOTH TIMES) TOW DRIVER COULD NOT RESTART. DEALER REPORTED NO COMPUTER CODES AND CAR STARTED AFTER CAR STARTED ON PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE COMMON SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OWNERS, THAT REPORTLY CHRYSLER AND NHTSA AGREED UPON A RESOLUTION TO AVOID A RECALL BY CHRYSLER OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD IN SEPT 2012. CHRYSLER DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE AND NOT SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH DEALERS SO THEY CAN TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION. VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION HAVE INCLUDED REPLACING THE POWERTRAIN MODULE, CAMSCOPE REPLACEMENT, MONITORING THE ON BOARD WITH A COPILOT COMPUTER-WHICH ALSO SHOWED NO CODES. THE DEALER DID SAY THAT CHRYSLER SUGGESTED AN ADDITIONAL MODULE BE ADDED TO THE ON BOARD COMPUTER, BUT NONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS RETURNED A THIRD OR MORE TIMES AS PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AND APPEARED TO GIVE UP. THIS LIFE THREATENING SAFETY HAZARD NEEDS TO BEINVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED, AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A ROADWAY AND THE MOTOR JUST SHUT OFF., IF THIS NOT RESOLVED IT WILL SOMETIME CAUSE INJURIES OR DEATHS, WHICH COULD END UP WITH A RECALL SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT OF ON COMPUTERS.
