ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON NOVEMBER 21, 2020, THE 7TH DAY I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM CAR MAX, I DROVE MY CAR FROM TX TO AR. NEARLY HALFWAY TO AR THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND WENT OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT HAS IT DURING THE DAY TIME. ONCE I ARRIVED IN AR, THE DASHBOARD CONTINUED TO FLICKER BUT THERE WERE NO ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. LATER THAT NIGHT, I DROVE TO THE STORE AND IN THE STORE PARKING LOT THE CAR QUIT ON ME AFTER THE LIGHTS FLICKERED SEVERAL TIMES!!! I AM LIVID! I HAVE A 5-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME! WHAT IF THE CAR STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY? WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER FIXED THIS ISSUE? I'M JUST NOW READING ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH NUMEROUS CAR OWNERS!!! I DESIRE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY! IF SOMETHING WE'RE TO HAPPENED TO MY CHILD AND I WOULD THAT NOT BE HORRIBLE? THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT EXISTS AS THIS IS DANGEROUSSSSSSS!!! OUR LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT!

THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT JUST STARTED DOING THIS ON NOV, 13 AND HAS CONTINUED DOING THIS AS OF TODAY. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS. I CALLED BERGSTROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN OSHKOSH WHO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $130.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS CLOSED AND NOT COVERED. WE ARE A NON-EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION COMPANY. WE PROVIDE RIDES FOR DISABLED PEOPLE. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH OUR VEHICLE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WE WOULD LIKE THIS ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. OUR CONTACT INFORMATION IS[XXX], [XXX] OR [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER START UP, IT STALLS AND BEGINS TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHTS, OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ONCE YOU GET IT STOPPED AND RESTART IT, IT DOES THE SAME THING ABOUT 3-7 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THEN IT WON'T DO IT AT ALL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS HAS CAUSED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. NO CODES TO GO ON FOR A POSSIBLE PROBLEM. THIS MODEL HAS HAN MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND I BELIEVE RECALLED BEFORE FOR IT, BUT A CHECK OF RECALLS FOR THIS VIN SHOWS NO UN-REPAIRED RECALLS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. DEALER HAS STATED THAT WITHOUT CODES SHOWING UP, AND OR WITNESSING THE PROBLEM THEY REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING BUSY TRAFFIC AND CAUSED CARS TO ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND WHEN MINE STALLS AND SLOWS DOWN FROM NO POWER. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN IN AREAS THAT HAVE A SHOULDER TO MOVE ONTO. I HONESTLY DO NOT THINK I AM BEING TOLD EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE FROM RESEARCHING IT ON LINE, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM, AND NOBODY SEAMS TO HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER FOR IT THAT I CAN FIND. I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS. THANK YOU

MY CAR SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL 6 TIMES WITHIN A 600 MILE RADIUS ON THE INTERSTATE AND ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TURN IGNITION COMPLETELY OFF BEFORE I COULD PUT GEAR IN PART THEN SIT FOR 15-20MINS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN. WE DONE THIS 6 TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO OUR DESTINATION. THANK GOD IT WASN'T A LOT OF TRAFFIC. TOOK TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE I FOUND OUT SOME RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND WIRING. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE ISSUES STARTED SO CHRYSLER WANT HONOR MY RECALL. I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSORS.

THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERMANENTLY STAYS ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL JUST DIE AS YOU'RE DRIVING IT COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IT COULD BE WHEN YOU'RE REVERSING IT DOESN'T MATTER I JUST WANTS TO DIE AND THEN NOT START UP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GEARS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING. WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMPUTER RESET OFTEN IN ORDER FOR OUR VEHICLE TO DRIVE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2015 CHRYSLER 200S WHICH I GOT IN JANUARY 2016. I HAD GONE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT A TRADE IN I HAD AT THE MOMENT. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO SEE VALUE OF IT ANOTHER CAR 'HIT IT' THEREFORE THE SALESMAN FELT IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP. I GOT A CHRYSLER 200S W/ NO DOWN PAYMENT OR ANYTHING. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, RIGHT? NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER MY CAR WOULDN'T START AND I WENT TO CHECK ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE FOR ANY RECALLS. MY SURPRISE WAS THAT THERE WAS MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SENT A TOWING TRUCK TO COME AND GET IT. 2 DAYS LATER THEY SAID THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR AND MAGICALLY THE RECALLS ISSUE WAS MENTIONED AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE BATTERY AFTER THEM LOANING ME A PACIFICA FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF MY CAR BEING AT THE SHOP. TO MY SURPRISE THE PACIFICA DIDN'T EVEN LAST A DAY BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND IT STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY. THE YEAR AFTER SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND THEY HAD TO KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER 2 DAYS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. NOVEMBER 2019 COMES AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. NOVEMBER 2020, AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED SO I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY COULDN'T BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE CALLED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND THEY SAY IT'LL BE FIXED BUT THE ISSUE KEEPS GOING. MY CAR HASN'T EVEN REACHED 100K MILES, IT'S BARELY GOING TO HIT 61K MILES AND I'M STILL STUCK WITH A 11K NOTE ON THE CAR THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2020 I WAS DRIVING MY GREAT NIECE TO DAYCARE AND WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND CUT IT OFF, IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP OR ALLOW ME TO SHIFT AT ALL. A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED WHICH DID NOTHING, A TOWING SERVICE WAS CALLED AND IT WAS FLATBED DELIVERED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPUTER BRAIN IS GONE AND THE CAR WILL NOT CUT OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO CUT IT OFF, THEY HAD TO DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. THIS IS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE POWERTRAIN OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BRAIN IS GONE. THEY BUILT THESE CARS WITH NO SAFETY IN MIND. I AM JUST THANKFUL IT DIDN'T STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY BABY INSIDE. AND NOW THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE THOUSANDS TO REPAIR IT.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
I AM STILL HAVING TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS, TRANSAXLE, AND SMELLING SMOKE SMELL INSIDE CABIN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR MORE THAN 2 TIMES AND THE RECALLS STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED AND I HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT IT HAS BEEN DONE. YET EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR WITH THE COMPLAINT THAT THE CAR IS SHIFTING HARD, & INTO NEUTRAL UNEXPECTING IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. TRANSAXLE IS A CONTRIBUTING ISSUE TO MY PREMATURE TIRES WEAR OF MY FRONT TIRES AND ISSUES OF THE WHEEL BARRENS AND UNABLE TO GET A ALIGNMENT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED STRUTS AND WHEEL BEARINGS THAT IS HARD TO BELIEVE WITH LESS THAN 30, 000, MILES. THIS CAR HAS 58,175 MILES . I CANNOT OR HAVE NO INTENTION IN PURCHASE OF ANOTHER CAR. YET I FEEL THAT WHAT SAFETY RECALLS THAT WAS REQUIRED WERE NOT DONE WHY CAN'T I SEE WHAT THE RECALLS WERE. SERVICE DEPT. STATES THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE CONCERN YET THERE ARE THOUSANDS STATING THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT TOMBALL DODGE, IN TOMBALL TX 281-351-2000
