ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CARS TIPN NEEDS REPLACED AFTER 35,000 MILES. CAR INITIALLY SET ALL DASH LIGHTS OFF, ONE FRONT AND ONE REAR LED LIGHT REMAINED ON EVEN AFTER KEY WAS TAKEN OUT AND NEVER WENT OUT LEADING TO DEAD BATTERY. THE CAR DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING IT ABOUT 20MPH AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ONTO ROADWAY CAUSING NEAR ACCIDENT. BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR LAST 3 WEEKS WHILE TRYING TO GET DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. TOTAL COST FROM GOING TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS TO GET DIAGNOSIS AND PART TO REPLACE IT IS ESTIMATED TO COST $1500-2000 WHICH I CANT AFFORD. I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CANT EVEN DRIVE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASE OF A CAR WITH MY OWN MONEY. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE . ONE CHRYSLER REPAIR SHOP MADE COMMENT THAT HE WAS SURPRISED THEY HAVENT HAD A RECALL ON THAT PART DUE TO ALL THE ONES HE HAS SEEN NEEDING REPLACED. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH CUTTING OFF WITH OUT PROPER LIGHT WARNINGS. IT SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKING IT TO BE SEEN BUT NO ONE CAN FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND PEOPLE OWNING THESE TYPES OF CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY STARTER OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE SO ITS SOMETHING ELSE. IT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND MOST DEFFINATELY WHILE MAKING TURNS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER, STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING VERY BAD COMING FROM HVAC SYSTEM AND WINDOWS BECAME VERY FOGGY. I HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN WITH THE DEFROST ON IN ORDER TO SEE. VISION WAS STILL IMPAIRED. AFTER LETTING IT SIT, A FILM APPEARED ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS HARD TO REMOVE. FURTHER IMPAIRING VISION. PRIOR TO THIS, HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING SO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT DEFROST QUICKLY. CURRENTLY HAVE IT IN THE SHOP. THEY ARE GUESSING IT'S THE HEATER CORE, A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. ESTIMATED COST STARTING AT $900.

I ALSO HAD TO PUT THE SAME 200 S IN THE SHOP FOR A MASSIVE OIL LEAK THAT ONCE I NOTICED IT AND THEN HAD IT CHECKED BY A CHRYSLER SERVICE ADVISOR THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE 3.6 L ENGINE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 3.6L ENGINE THAT THERE WAS A TSB OR SOMETHING ON IT SO I DROPPED IT OF AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATION TO FIND OUT MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS THE OIL COOLER CRACKED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $200 LIFETIME WARRANTY I HAD ON THE CAR. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS THERE'S A ENGINE LIGHT ON THAT INDICATED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING WHICH I HAD MENTIONED TO THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR OR THE SWEET BUNGENT ODOR THAT I SMELLED COMING OUT OF MY VENTS AT 5 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY BY 50 MILES ON MY ODOMETER AND NOW AT 66700 IT'S BACK AND WAS NOTICE BY THE DISCOUNT TIRE SHOP TELL ME THEY SMELLED A STRONG COOLENT LEAK AND I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MORE MONEY TO FIND IF THERE WAS A ISSUE THAT THAT HAD ALREADY TOLD ME WAS THERE AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AT 5 MILES AND WOULD GO AWAY AT 50 !
