A FEW TIMES PULLING OUT INTO THE TRAFFIC THE CAR WOULD FAIL TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, SOME TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SEEMS AS IF ITS DYING OR LOOSING POWER. IT IS ALSO RATTLING WHEN I CRANK IT UP. THE OTHER THING IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WHILE ACCELERATING SEEMS TO TAKE A WHILE TO SWITCH GEARS AND THEN THE CAR JERKS REALLY HARD WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFT GEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY JUST SAID THAT THEY CHECKED IT AND CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT THAT THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BUT THAT "ITS JUST THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS A 4 CYLINDER." IT'S VERY SCARY PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND GETTING TO FREEWAY SPEEDS CAN'T REACH A MAX OF 55MPH. HAVE HAD THE CAR COMPLETELY STALL OUT ON THE FREEWAY AND PUT ITSELF INTO "NEAUTRAL" WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. MAINTENANCE AIRBAG LIGHTS FREQUENTLY COMING ON. CHRYSLER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A FIX TO THE ISSUE ON WHY THIS CAR IS DOING WHAT IT HAS BEEN. THEY KEEP SAYING ITHE ISSUE IS FIXED WHEN PUBLICLY THERE IS NO REAL FIX TO THE ISSUE AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE RE ACCRUING PROBLEM. LITTLE TO SAY, I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE EVEN DOWN THE STREET TO MY LOCAL GROCERY STORE. I WORK TOO HARD AND PAY TO MUCH FOR MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR TO BE HAVING ISSUES LIKE THESE. I REALLY WISH CHRYSLER WOULD RECALL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES ALREADY BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP LOOSING A LIFE OVER A FAULTY LEMON OF A VEHICLE.

AT TIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR , THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN LIKE IT HAS SOMETHING BLOCKING IT AND YOU THINK IT'S NOT GOING TO TURN . IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT'S MORE FREQUENT THAN OTHERS. ALSO AT TIMES WHEN YOU START TO ACCELERATE THERE IS DELAY IN RESPONSE CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL AND WHEN THE CAR WILL RESUME. *TR
