ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY DASH LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLASHING, SOMETIMES GOING OFF AND STAYING OFF, AND MY REMOTE START WILL START THE CAR BUT THEN IT IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS AND DISCOVERED NHTSA REFERENCE # 08V-152, WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING, AND MY CAR DOES HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY RECALLS ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I KNOW THIS TO BE UNTRUE BECAUSE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A SPRING IN THE GEAR SHIFT. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT IF I WANT THIS CORRECTED IT WOULD AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE PROBLEM THAT INITIATED THE RECALL CAN RESULT IN THE CAR STALLING WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR'S VIN DOES NOT COME UP AS A VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT IF THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING, THEN WHY WOULDN'T CHRYSLER WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT FOR SAFETY'S SAKE AND THEIR REPUTATION? BELIEVE ME, I PLAN ON TELLING ANYONE I CAN ABOUT THIS AND I WILL NEVER CONSIDER ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE EACH TIME IS RAINS AND/OR HUMID MY CAR WOULD STALL. I TOOK IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS (THIS WAS DONE IN THE SPAN OF THREE YEARS). UNFORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS ABLE TO FIND OR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS QUITE DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD STALL AS IT IS RUNNING, WHILE I AM DRIVING (TALK ABOUT UNSAFE). I NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD SURFACE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND/OR VERY HUMID OUTSIDE. MY CAR WOULD START TO LOOSE POWER, A BIT OF A ENGINE HICCUP, AND THEN AS I APPROACH A STOP OR RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD STALL COMPLETELY. WHICH MEANS I NEED TO PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. MECHANIC CHECKED IT AND SAID THERE IS "NO ISSUES" BUT ANY TIME IT RAINS I HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND REPLACED SOME OTHER RECALLED ITEM, AND COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS. HOW CAN ONE DRIVE A CAR THAT UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND NO ONE, EVEN THE DEALER, IS ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED, VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN CLIMBING AN INCLIINE OR WHEN I ACCELERATE, THIS IS NOT A STEADY HAPPENING.I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE IT COMPUTER CHECKED BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP. A YOUNGER MECHANIC AT THE SECOND DEALERSHIP STATED IT SOUNDED TO HIM LIKE POSSIBLY THE CLUTCHES WERE SLIPPING AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE COMPUTER HE SUGGESTED THAT I JUST CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IT MAY STOP MOVING COMPLETELY AND THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FOUND.

TAKATA RECALL. DURING THE COURSE OF A YEAR SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THIS CAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE POWER STEERING. TWICE WHILE COMING TO A STOP (STOP SIGN OR LIGHT), MY STEERING WOULD LOCK ALONG WITH MY BRAKES. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A SHOP I WAS TOLD MY THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACED. I TOLD THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. ON APRIL 17TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ONLY WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE MY WHEEL TO TURN ENOUGH TO DRIVE UP THE BEND I WAS DRIVING AROUND RATHER THAN THE SCHOOL IN FRONT OF ME. FINALLY I HIT A POLE AND MY CAR HAS BEEN RULED AS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE MANY CONCERNS IN REGARDS TO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND WHY.
