AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 6/19/17 AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FEW RIDES I FAULT WITH THE DEALER ABOUT MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED UNDER BOTH SEATS BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS NO WAY I WAS PAYING FOR THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS PRACTICALLY NEW ONLY APPROXIMATELY 42502 MILES AND I WAS HAVING ONGOING ISSUES WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. WELL NOW I AM REALLY FEELING LIKE THIS RECALL IS LARGER THAN IT IS PRESENTED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHEN I GET THINGS DONE TO MY VEHICLE. SUCH AS MY TRANSMISSION NEEDING SERVICE, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT, THE ABS, THE TRACTION, AND ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE FAILURE. ALL THESE LIGHTS CAME ON JUST FROM REPLACING A HUB (BEARINGS) ON MY PASSENGER SIDE. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS ON THE AIR BAG ISSUE. I JUST WANT TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION WHEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE TELL ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE IS GIVING ME THESE NOTIFICATIONS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED GOING DOWN A STEEPER GRADE ON I-81 THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AND WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT. I HAVE TO STOMP THE BRAKE OR CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM STEERING COLUMN. CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 65 MPH AND SPEED INCREASED TO ~75 MPH. THIS HAPPENS AT THIS SAME POINT ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY TIME I GO THRU THERE. SCARY!!!!

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FIRST PROBLEM: THE CAR STALLS AND/OR DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SHE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO GET IT STARTED AND DRIVE IT HOME BUT IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (?) WERE ALL ON. SECOND PROBLEM: THERE IS A MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMES ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WIT THE SAME PROBLEM. ON THE YELLOW WIRE BOX UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, THERE WAS A BLACK LATCH (?) THAT CLICKED WHEN I SQUEEZED. THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OIL CONSUMPTION AND ELECTRIC WIRING PROBLEMS CAUSING THE AIR CONDITIONER TO GO OUT AND BLOW HOT AIR. THE OIL CONSUMPTION WILL NEED ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED. OIL CONSUMPTION ALMOST CAUSED WRECK BECAUSE CAR WILL THROW CAR IN PARK AT UNEXPLAINED TIMES BECAUSE OIL IS LOW EVEN WHEN OIL WAS CHANGED. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON EITHER EVEN OIL IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. DRIVER IS UNAWARE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART CAR MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING TO START. TURNED CAR OFF AND CHECK OIL APPEARS TO BE FULL. WENT TO RESTART CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO START CAR AND WHILE ALL LIGHTS AND BEEPING CAME ON CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN OVER A 15 MIN PERIOD. CAN NOT PUSH BREAK DOWN AND WHEN PUSH THE START BUTTON NOTHING HAPPENS. CAR HAS ALSO STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN THE LAST YEAR. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATES ITS DUE TO OIL AND IT APPEARS CAR IS BURNING OIL VERY FAST. CHRYSLER STATES THAT THE CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO A SAFETY MECHANISM TO NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT DUE TO LOW OIL. AS OIL HAS APPEARED FULL AND CHECKED MULTIPLE TIME UNSURE AS TO WHY THE CAR WOULD DO THIS.

I STARTED THE VEHICLE, LET IT IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. PUT IT IN DRIVE AND DROVE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. GOT TO THE CORNER TO MAKE A RT TURN AND THE CAR DIED. DASH SAYS TO PUT CAR IN PARK. I THEN PRESSED THE START/IGNITION BUTTON AND IT STALLED, HAD A HARD TIME STARTING AGAIN. FINALLY STARTED AND I DROVE TO THE NEXT CORNER, IT STOPPED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE OR MORE. FINALLY STARTED. I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY TO GO BACK HOME. IT DIED/STOPPED AGAIN. I LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER DASH SAID TO PUT IN PARK. IT FINALLY STARTED. I HEADED BACK HOME, WHILE DRIVING /IN MOTION, IT STOPPED AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE CURB. IT STARTED RATHER QUICKLY, AND I MADE IT BACK TO PARK IT ON THE STREET. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE THEN, BUT I DID START ON JUNE 1, 2019, WHERE I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WOULD STALL/STOP. IT DID NOT, BUT I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE MAY 22, 2019.

THESE PAST FEW DAYS MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT WITH NO WARNING. ALL OF THESE TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STALLS AND MESSAGE WILL APPEAR TO SOMETHING UPON PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PUT IN PARK. ONCE YOU DO THAT THE CAR WILL TRY TO RESTART ITSELF. MY CAR EVENTUALLY RESTARTS BUT HAS STILL YET RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY OTHER WARNING CODES( NO WARNING CODES BEFORE NOR AFTER THE STALLING). THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO LOOK INTO AND ADDRESS.

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 5 DAYS. IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, IS A SAFETY RISK. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND AFTER PRESSING THE START BUTTON AGAIN, THE CAR STARTER WAS CONTINUALLY TRYING TO TURN OVER AND START, BUT DIDN'T. AFTER GETTING ASSISTANCE, THE CAR WAS FINALLY PUSHED OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FROM IT'S STALLED POSITION. AFTER GETTING PUSHED TO A PARKED POSITION, IT FINALLY STARTED, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF IT STALLING AGAIN, SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW.
