ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A FILE WITH A COMPLETE TIMELINE WITH THE INCIDENTS UPON REQUEST. I AM NOW BEGINNING TO REALLY LOOSE ANY FAITH IN THE CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE. STILL UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. BUT THIS LAST RECALL HAS THROWN ME OVER THE EDGE OF CONSIDERING NEW COMPANY. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP CHRYSLER FOR THE SAFETY RECALL THAT IS STILL OPEN. THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN FOR 3 WEEKS. I MAKE APPOINTMENT BC MY CAR KEEPS LOOSING OT POWER AND DIES OR ALMOST DIES/.MY CAR LOST ALL OF ITS POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT A CONSTANT MOVING PACE WITH OTHER CARS. MY CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND I CANT EVEN STEER THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WORK INTO THE MIDDLE LANE. WHERE FREIGHT LINER ALMOST HITS ME IN THE [XXX] END AND SWERVES TO MISS ME AND OVERCORRECTS AND WINDS UP ALMOST GOING OVER THE BRIDGE WITH A CONCRETE WALL SAVING HIM FROM ENDING UP ON THE LOWER FREEWAY. ONCE WE GOT THROUGH THE SHOCK OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TRY TO GET CAR TO START. IT WONT EVEN KICK OVER AND I CANT GET IT OT IF NEUTRAL. I CALL CHRYSLER CORPORATE BC IF I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE RECALL FIXED SOONER THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. THEY TOW TO CHRYSLER AND WE WAIT 2 MORE WEEKS WHILE THEY GET TO THE CAR. MEANWHILE I AM HAVING TO PAY EVERYDAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. WHICH WAS OVER $500 AND I AM A SINGLE DIVORCED PARENT OF 2 CHILDREN. 1 CHILD RECENTLY PASSED FROM A RARE DISEASE AT AGE 7 AND MY ONLY SON JUST STARTED COLLEGE IN CONWAY AND I AM SO PROUD AND WANT TO SUPPORT HIM IN THIS MOVE. AT THE END OF 2 WEEKS I GO TO PICK UP THE CAR AND I AM BILLED FOR 300 FOR A NEW BATTERY AND DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I ASK ABOUT THE SAFETY RECALL & WHY IS WAS NOT DONE WHEN THAT IS THE XAVCRT REASON WE MADE THE APPOINTMENT? THEY OVERLOOKED THAT AND NEEDED TO GO DO THAT. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE COST ME MORE THAN $1000. WITH TIME I HAD TO LEAVE WORK AND ALL THEIR CALLS TO THE CHRYSLER . PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THE CAR STALLING OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT ON 8/18/18, IT JUST SHUT OFF WHILE STILL IN GEAR. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. LATER THAT SAME DAY, I WAS DRIVING HOME, THANKFULLY ON A QUIET ROAD. IT STARTED TO SPUTTER AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE STILL IN GEAR. SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS TIME, I COULD NOT GET IT RESTARTED, SO I CALLED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO TOWED THE CAR TO THE PLACE I PURCHASED IT. THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND SAID THEY WERE OXIDIZED AND WERE PROBABLY THE CAUSE. I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 8/21/18 AND IT DROVE OK. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS DRIVING HOME AND AS I TURNED THE CORNER ONTO A BUSIER ROAD, IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE STILL IN GEAR. I COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART AT ALL. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY EVEN THOUGH I WAS OVER AS FAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I COULD BE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AGAIN AND I RECEIVED A TEXT THAT THEY WOULD BE THERE IN LESS THAN 45 MINUTES, AND THEN ANOTHER STATING THEY WOULD BE THERE IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES. THE SHERIFF THAT SHOWED UP SAID SHE WASN'T WAITING AROUND FOR 75 MINUTES AND FORCED ME TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED BY THE COUNTY TOW COMPANY AS SHE SAID IT WOULD BE FASTER. MY TOW COMPANY SHOWED UP LESS THAN 2 MINUTES AFTER THEIRS DID, BUT I WAS TOLD TOO BAD AND THEY TOOK MY CAR TO IMPOUND. I HAD TO COME UP WITH ALMOST $300 TO GET MY CAR OUT AND THEN I CALLED MY ROADSIDE AND THEY SWITCHED ME OVER TO CHRYSLER ROADSIDE WHO WAS ABLE TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER, WHERE IT NOW SITS. I TOLD THEM I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW AND I WANT IT FIXED. I AM THINKING IT IS THIS IS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RECALL R24

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT HAS BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. I HAVE TO PULL OVER CUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RE START IT. ALSO THERE'S ALWAYS ISSUES WHILE I TRY AND START THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FIVE DIFFERENT MECHANICS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NEW ALTERNATOR,NEW BATTERY,FIVE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTICS MADE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MENTIONS THAT I NEED TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER. WHICH I HAVE TWICE. THEY RE SET THE SOFTWARE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT STILL SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. COTTMAN TRANSMISSION DID A DIAGNOSTIC THAT I PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM AND THE CODES THAT CAME UP ARE MANUFACTURING ISSUES. ASSOCIATED WITH BAD ELECTRICAL WIRING AS WELL AS A BAD SET UP FOR THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE SAME MODEL MAKE AND YEAR FOR THIS VEHICLE THERE WAS A RE CALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND CODE. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY COVERS THESE PROBLEMS BUT TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO CHRYSLER TO FIX. CHRYSLER HAS CHECKED MY VEHICLE TWICE AND RE SET THE SYSTEM FOR THE LIGHT TO COME OFF. OF COARSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. NOW EVERYONE IS STILL POINTING THE FINGERS AT EACH OTHER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. MY FACTORY WARRANTY SHOULD FIX IT UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ALSO SILVERROCK SHOULD FIX IT UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT. THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE TO CONSISTENTLY TAKE OFF WORK TO MAINTAINANCE THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP.

STEERING
TAKATA RECALL; WHILE DRIVING THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON A WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH SCREEN: POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE, NEED SERVICE SOON. SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND WOULDN'T TURN. I CRUISE THE CAR TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN RED IN ORDER TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF. WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN GREEN I TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON BUT SUDDENLY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND AGAIN I WASN'T ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OVER TO THE NEXT LANE IT FROZE UP. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND A LARGE TRUCK WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME BLOWING HIS HORN FOR ME TO SPEED UP OR GET OUT OF THE WAY BUT I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR OVER. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND TRY HARD TO STEER THE CAR UNTIL I REACH ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN REACHING THE RED LIGHT I TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND TURN IT BACK ON AT THE GREEN LIGHT. THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A LITTLE BETTER FOR ME TO CRUISE THE CAR IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE TO THE NEAREST SHOP. I WAS ABOUT 15 MILES FROM HOME AND ABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LANE TO DRIVE SLOW WITH MY AMBER LIGHTS BLEEPING. THEN I NOTICE A FIRESTONE WAS OPEN, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCK UP AGAIN SO I JERK IT AS HARD AS I CAN TO STEER IT INTO THE PARKING LOT. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THANKS GOD FOR HIS PROTECTION BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVES. FIRESTONE EXAMINE MY VEHICLE AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY FELT THE PROBLEM WAS; ELECTRICAL, AND I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE FOLLOWING DAY THEY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT IT COULD BE MY BATTERY SO THEY REPLACE THE BATTERY STILL NO SUCCESS. CALL THE FOLLOWING DAY AND ASKED IF THEY BELIEVE THEY COULD REPAIR THE CAR AND THE MANAGER WAS HONEST AND SAID NO BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PARTS THAT IS NEEDED IS OUT OF STOCK AND THE CAR HAVE TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP. POSSIBLE A RECALL.
