ENGINE
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

ENGINE
CAR IS A 2012 MODEL, PURCHASED THREE DAYS AGO WITH ONLY 10 MILES ON IT. TODAY IT STALLED AS IT WAS IDLING AT RED LIGHT. IT STALLED AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. IT STALLED AS I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO MY GARAGE TO PARK. I CALLED MY SALESMAN, HE CLAIMS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT AND REFERRED ME TO THE MANAGER. HE ALSO CLAIMS HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. YET I FIND OUT FROM A FRIEND TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. I DO A SEARCH AND SEE MANY ARTICLES FROM TODAY AND OVER THE WEEKEND ON THIS. SO, HOW DOES A DEALER NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE SELLING ME THE CAR? CONCERNED ABOUT MY KIDS BEING IN THE CAR WITH ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO CUT IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AS I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE ENGINE DIED AND THERE WAS NO LIGHTING. THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT AND THE CAR COULD NOT EVEN TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. AFTER 15 MINUTES THE CAR REGAINED POWER AND STARYED. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING....IT WAS JUST A BRIGHT WHITE SCREEN. AFTER IDLING FOR 10-15 MORE MINUTES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT HAS BEEN NORMAL FOR THE PAAT WEEK. *TT

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH APPROX 300 MILES BROUGHT FROM A DEALER'S INVENTORY IN KOKOMO, IN TO ONE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY, WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT 11 MAY ,2012..IT HAD BEEN ON THE PREVIOUS DEALER'S LOT, AS PART OF INVENTORY, I BELIEVE SINCE SEP,2011. IN TOTAL IT HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT 2 SEPARATE TIMES..TWICE IT HAS EITHER QUIT WHILE SLOWING OR DOWNSHIFTED CAUSING QUITE A VIOLENT THROW FORWARD OF PERSONS IN THEIR SEATS WHILE AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED COMING TO A STOP...IN THE OLD DAYS IT WOULD BE THE JERK YOU GET WHILE POPPING A CLUTCH TO GET A CAR STARTED WITH A BAD BATTERY.. THE THIRD TIME IT STALLED WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY...WE ARE NOW APPROACHING 1000 TOTAL MILES ON THE CAR WITH LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP...MADE FIRST VISIT TO A DEALER SERVICE 30 MAY 2012,..PCM CODE WAS UPDATED,BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM..HAVE HAD ONE JERKY DOWNSHIFT SINCE THEN ..THIS HAS BEEN THE RECURRING THEME OF MANY OF THESE INSTANCES WRITTEN UP ON BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MODEL OVER LAST 2 YEARS.. SIDE NOTE..THIS CAR HAS REMOTE START CAPABILITY ON THE KEY FOB..I NOTICED A RECALL LAST YEAR FOR SOME VEHICLES WHERE THEY NOTICED THE CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE A FOB HAD VIBRATED LOOSE, AND SOMEHOW WAS SENDING SIGNALS TO SOME COMPONENT IN THE CAR WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO STOP...IE. NO CODES ASSOCIATED WITH A MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT...MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT TOO. TWICE ALSO, THE HINT OF AN ELECTRICAL SMELL HAS BEEN DETECTED...SAME SMELL I EXPERIENCED WHEN THE PCM ON MY 1993 FORD VAN COOKED ITSELF A COUPLE YEARS AGO..AT FIRST I WROTE IT OFF AS A NEW CAR THING..BUT COMBINE THAT WITH PRESENT AND PAST EXPERIENCES...WELL, THE CONNECTION MAY NOT BE COINCIDENTAL. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
OUR 2011 CHRYSLER 200 HAS ABOUT 8000 MILES AND HAS BEEN STALLING, SURGING IDLE SPEEDS WHEN STOPPED, AND DOWNSHIFTING HARD (JOLTING) FOR THE LAST 2000 MILES OR SO. TOMORROW IS THE FIRST TIME TAKING IT IN SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS REASON AFTER HAVING THE DEALER ANNOTATE THESE SYMPTOMS DURING THE LAST OIL CHANGE. IT IS NOT SAVE TO HAVE A CAR'S IDLE JUMP WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR INTERSECTION NOR IS IT SAFE TO HAVE A CAR STALL OUT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. FURTHERMORE, IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR SO THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IF IT DOES NOT GET FIXED I WILL BE CONTACTING MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AS I AM FEARFUL THAT ONE OF THESE LUNGES WILL RESULT IN A CRASH. *TR
