FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I PURCHASED THE USED CAR ON JULY 20,2013 FROM CAR CENTER IN WALDORF, MD. ONE WEEK OF DRIVING THE CAR I HAD TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE IT THE CAR BEGAN TO STUMBLE AND SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED CAR CENTER AND I WAS GIVEN A LOANER CAR 08/01/13 AND THE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN TO WALDORF FORD AND DODGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I CALLED THE WALDORF FORD AND DODGE TO DISCUSS MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS CUT A NEW KEY FOR THE CAR, WHICH I HAD THEM FAX ME THE RECEIPT OF THE WORK DONE. MY CAR SHUT OFF ANOTHER 2 TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING, JUST AFTER FUELING. WHEN I PERSONALLY DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT WALDORF JEEP AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST ONE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY CAR SHUTTING OF WHILE DRIVING, JUST AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. I ASKED HIM WAS THERE A RECALL ON THE CAR THAT WAS NOT DONE. HE SAID THEY'RE INVESTIGATING IT. I ASKED HIM WHAT DO I DO IN THE MEANTIME, HIS [XXX] ANSWER JUST DON'T FILL IT ALL THE WAY UP. ON 04/16/14, MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY WHILE I HAD THE GREEN LIGHT TO CROSS IT. WE WERE ALMOST SIDE SWIPED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY'RE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR STARTED IN TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I NO LONGER FEEL THAT THIS IS "SAFE" TO DRIVE BUT YET I'M STILL STUCK WITH THESE PAYMENTS! PLEASE HELP I LOVE THE CAR BUT WANT SOMETHING THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING MY CAR (PROBABLY DRIVEN LESS THAN 1000 FEET) THE CAR SHUTTERED AND STALLED. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN WITHIN THE MILE. AGAIN, IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILLED THE TANK AND IT STALLED AGAIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON EXITING THE GAS STATION. AGAIN, IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY AND I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP OR SINCE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT REFUELED SINCE; SO DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND IT IS DEEMED I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. GAS TANKS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT AND OUR CAR IS LOW MILEAGE AND IN MINT CONDITION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY DESIGN PROBLEM. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND I SUSPECT WITH OTHERS WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL. (I DID NOT "TOP OFF" THE TANK ON EITHER OCCASION.) *TR

AFTER FILLING MY TANK MY CAR WOULDN'T START. CALLED MY HUSBAND WAITED FOR HIM APPROX 15 MINUTES AND CAR STARTED. AS I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND ACCELERATED THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 3 LANE BUSY STREET. I COASTED WITH NO POWER TO THE RIGHT AND TURNED ON MY HAZARDS. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, PICKED IT UP NEXT DAY, SEEMED FINE. STARTED FILLING TANK TO 3/4, ACCIDENTALLY FILLED FULL 1X SINCE, SAME PROBLEM LAST NIGHT. CALLED 2 CHRYSLER DEALERS THIS MORNING (4/8/14) TO FIX PROBLEM. THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS WORKING ON FIX, NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SOOOOOOOOO DANGEROUS!!!!!! THIS IS WRONG, I HAVE LITTLE KIDS AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH CAR WILL DIE IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH GAS AND AS I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC, MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART THE ENGINE. NEXT DAY, I FILLED UP WITH FUEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL WITH FUEL SINCE THE INITIAL EXPERIENCE. NOW MY CAR STALLS ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT TIMES BEFORE IT RUNS NORMAL AFTER FILLING WITH GAS. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT AND REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM EXCEPT AT A COST OF ABOUT $2000. NOW CHRYSLER SAYS THAT I WAS NOTIFIED EARLIER AND DID NOT CONTACT THEM WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR. I AM REFERENCING PE13-016 AND INFORMING YOU THAT CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO MEET ITS OBLIGATION. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR
