I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2013. FEW MONTHS AFTER, THE FIRST ISSUE APPEARED, IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS PUT ME IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS MANY TIMES. I GOT A RECALL, AND FIXED. AFTER A WHILE ANOTHER ISSUE POPPED UP, THE SHIFT LEVER CAN BE MOVED TO D BUT THE TRANSMISSION STAYED IN P. AGAIN MANY TIMES I GOT STUCK IN THE ROAD, IN BAD SITUATION. I HAD TO CHECK WITH A MECHANIC AND SPEND AROUND $500 TO REPLACE THE SHIFT CABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR FEW WEEKS, AND APPEARED AGAIN. AND THEN THE SECOND RECALL CAME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER (SAFFORD SPRINGFIELD VA) AND GOT FIXED, BUT FOR 2 DAYS ONLY, AND THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I CALLED THE DEALER TO BRING THE CAR TO BE CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THE SHIFT CABLE IS OK. BUT WHY IT HAS WORSEN AFTER THE SHIFT CABLE WAS "FIXED". AFTER 2 DAYS "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" POPPED UP. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND AFTER ONE HOUR I GOT CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR $8500. IT IS NIGHTMARE I HAD WITH THIS JUNK. THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY BAD SINCE THE FIRST DAY. I NEED TO AN EXPLANATION AND A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU I WILL RISE THIS ISSUE TO THE COURT.

AFTER 5 MONTHS OF MY CAR BEING IN THE SHOP AT CUMMINS DODGE IN WEATHERFORD OK THEY BROUGHT IT TO ME TODAY STATING IT WAS READY AND FIXED. THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO FIX THE RECALL IT HAD. I NOTICED THE SHIFTER KNOB DID NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN SO I CALLED STEVE AT CUMMINS AND ASKED HIM WHY IT WAS NOT SHOWING WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. STEVE STATED HE WOULD HAVE TO GET BACK WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND GET BACK WITH ME AND DID NOT CALL BACK. I HAD DOUG GRAY TECHNICIAN COME TAKE A LOOK AND HE STATED THEY DID NOT FIX THE RECALL AND ALSO STATED THAT IT WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SINCE THEY DID NOT FIX IT THE SHIFTER KNOB CAN BE ENGAGED INTO GEAR WITHOUT KEYS BEING IN THE VEHICLE. HE SAID FOR EXAMPLE IF YOUR DAUGHTER WAS TO GO TO THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE SHIFTER KNOB IIT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AND ROLL AWAY. HE STATED THAT HE CAN PUT IT IN GEAR WITHOUT TURNING CAR ON WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THEY BROUGHT ME MY CAR TODAY BECAUSE I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND HAD NO INTENTIONS OF DRIVING IT UNTIL I GET ANSWERS.

ON 9/23/19 I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS HIT IN THE REAR AND WAS PUSH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE FORCE OF IMPACT WAS SO EXTREME MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. NOT EVEN ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED!!! THEY SAY THIS CAR HAS 10 AIR BAGS AND NOT ONE OF THEM DEPLOYED. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WASN'T. I WANT ANSWERS AS TO WHY NOT EVEN ONE OF MY 10 AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ENTIRE REAR OF MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE BACK SEAT, THE FRONT OF THE CAR THE HOOD WAS PUSHED TO THE WINDSHIELD, LIKE I SAID THE CAR IS TOTALED. IF YOU COULD SEE MY CAR YOU WOULD BE ASKING, WHY DID NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOY, THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT THAT COULD OF COST ME MY LIFE! *DT*JB
