SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ABS HUB (COMPLETE AXLE) DUE TO RUST/ROTTING. WHEN THE ABS RING RUST OR ROTS, THE ABS MODULE BECOMES CONFUSED AND ACTIVATES INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES LOCKED INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I STOPPED THINKING THAT IT WOULD RESET SOMETHING BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP ONCE AGAIN AND NOW I'VE HAD TO PAY OVER $1,000 FOR THE REAR AXLES AND NOW $1,000 FOR THE FRONT. AXLES HAVE TO BE REPLACED EACH TIME. THESE RINGS SHOULD NOT SIMPLY ROT AND CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE CAR DIES SHORTLY AFTER FUELING WITH OUT ANY KIND OF WARNING. AFTER YOU DRIVE A LITTLE WAYS AND BURN SOME OF THE FUEL FROM THE TANK, THE CAR RUNS FINE. THE DRIVER HAS NO WARNING AND THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING AFTER IT DIES. I WAS ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR IS QUITE AND I DIDN'T REALIZED THE CAR DIED. I JUST KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDDLE UNTIL I OBSERVED THE RPM GAUGE WAS ON ZERO. I HAD NO WARNING. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH LOW MILEAGE. I THOUGHT IS WAS A ISOLATED INCIDENT, BUT SADLY WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT UP WITH GAS AND MAY DIE ONCE OR SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE NO PRE-WARNINGS FOR THE VEHICLE STALLING. ALL ACCELERATION, POWERS STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES WERE GONE WITH OUT WARNING. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVILED THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK DESIGN AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO FIX THIS. CHRYSLER SAID THE ONLY FIX IS A NEW FUEL TANK AND THEY ARE ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER ALSO CHANGE THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK IN LATER MODELS BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT PLEASE HOLD THE MAKER ACCOUNTABLE FOR DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING DEFECT.
