ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BOUGHT BACK BECAUSE OF A SENSOR AND HAD GONE THROUGH FULL INSPECTION AND WAS CLEARED FOR SALE. TWO DAYS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HAD ACCELERATED FROM 60-92 ON IT'S OWN. THE DEALERSHIP PUTS NEW PARTS IN AND EVERY TWO WEEKS AFTER I GET MY CAR BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. CHRYSLER HAS A TEAM TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK AROUND 10 TIMES AND IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST WEEK IT ACCELERATED FROM 72 TO 97 ON THE FREEWAY WHILE MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. WE ALMOST HIT A SEMI. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER IS ABLE TO KEEP CLOSING MY CASES AND TELLING ME THEY FIXED IT WHEN IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE GOOGLED ENGINE ISSUES ON THESE CARS AND FOUND MINE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I AM PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR AN UNSAFE CAR THAT KEEPS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.

SERVICE BRAKES
TOOK MY CAR INTO PRIVATE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT 11967 MILES ON 7/29/2013. WAS TOLD THAT BOTH OF MY FRONT CALIPERS ARE LEAKING. TOOK TO NEARBY DODGE DEALER SO I COULD GET TO WORK ON TIME. THE SERVICE WRITER BLEW EXCUSES AT ME. "WELL THAT IS NOT A LEAK." LOOKING RIGHT AT THE DRIVER SIDE CALIPER I SAID OK THEN WHAT IS SEAPING FROM THAT CALIPER. AND HE CONTINUED SAYING THAT THIS NOT SOMETHING THE DEALER HAS SEEN AS A PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP NOT RELEASING THE CAR TO ME BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS. I HAVE A RENTAL NOW. SO DID I BUY A TIMEBOMB? I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 CHALLENGER RT WITH A VERY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. CAN YOU HELP? I AM SCARED TO GET BACK IN THIS 200.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
IN JUNE 2016 THE AWD LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY. A CALL TO THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID IT COULD BE A GLITCH IN THE COMPUTER, TURN IT OFF FOR A WHILE AND RESTART. THE AWD LIGHT CONTINUED TO LIGHT UP. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER CHIP PROBLEM (PTU MODULE WAS BAD) THAT TOOK 4 DAYS TWO FIX.TWO WEEKS LATER ON 7/18/16 AFTER NOTICING DARK SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY I TOOK THE CAR IN, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE BELL HOUSING CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION IN A 2 YEAR OLD CAR TO BE REPLACED. AN HOUR AGO, (7/28/18 9:30P) I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE GSP WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON AND "SHIFT TO P" MESSAGE CAME ON IN THE DASH. THE "D" ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL STARTED FLASHING ABOUT A MIN LATER THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED UP I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A DARK HIGHWAY WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. IT WAS A CATASTROPHE IN THE MAKING! THIS IS THE 3RD MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN
IN NOVEMBER 2015, WHILE DRIVING TO VIRGINIA FROM FLORIDA, THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, PADDLE SHIFTERS WERE DISABLED, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A LIMP MODE. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO GAS STATION AND TRIED TO PLACE INTO PARK, DASH THEN TOLD ME NOT ABLE TO PLACE INTO PARK, THUS I FORCED IT TO TURN OFF. I RETURNED TO THE CAR 20 MINUTES LATER AND IT STARTED BACK UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CLEARED ITSELF AND TOOK TO DEALER 2 DAYS LATER, THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG W/ IT BUT MAYBE THE WIRING RECALL WOULD FIX IT BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND A STORED CODE THAT SAID IT WAS A COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I BEGAN TO HAVE HARD SHIFTING ISSUES IN MARCH. I FINALLY HAD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AS THE DEALER WOULD NOT TIMELY FIX THE RECALL. IT WAS THEN FIXED IN MARCH. THEY DID A LEARN AND PLAY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS FIXED THE HARD SHIFTING. SINCE MARCH, 3 DIFFERENCE OCCASIONS WITH TWO OF THEM IN THE TWO WEEKS AND MULTIPLE TIMES ON EACH OCCASION THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, AND THE CAR GO INTO LIMP MODE. THE LIMP MODE IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT PUTS ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET SOMETIMES AND CANNOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF EXIT RAMPS OF HIGHWAYS, I HAVE BEEN LEFT AT LIGHTS, ETC. EACH TIME WE GO TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THIS (BUT THEY STATE THEY CAN ONLY DRIVE IT A FEW MILES) SO IT NEVER GETS FIXED. THIS TIME, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS A LOW VOLTAGE ISSUE TELLING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHUT DOWN BUT THEY SAID THEY ARE TRYING TO GET IT APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL GOVT AS A RECALL. I HAVE GREAT CONCERNS OF THIS CAR, I HAVE PAID $32,000 FOR A NEW CAR AND IT LEAVES ME VERY VULNERABLE AND NOT SAFE AT ALL!

DRIVING VEHICLE IT JUST POPS OUT OF GEAR AND WON'T MOVE. OFTEN SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES UP. THE ENGINE DOESN'T DIE, BUT PRESSING THE GAS DOES NOTHING. I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND SOMETIMES IT LETS ME PUT IT IN GEAR. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THIS, EACH TIME THEY SAY IT'S FIXED AND THERE'S NO RECALL. MY FAMILY'S LIFE HAS BEEN PUT AT RISK, WE WERE ON A BLIND CORNER DOING 35, AND IT JUST STOPS. TODAY, WENT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AFTER STARTING, THE SAME SERVICE MESSAGES CAME UP. WE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO LUCK. AT THIS TIME, DEALER JUST SAYS TRADE IT IN.. THEY HAVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND WE HAVE A LOANER, BUT I'M SCARED TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR, IT KEEPS HAPPENING.
