TAKATA RECALL: THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO DECELERATE RANDOMLY, IN COMBINATION WITH A TICKING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE AIR BAG AREA OF THE GLOVE BOX THAT IS EXACERBATED BY THE AC AND THE HEAT BEING TURNED ON. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ALTHOUGH IT SAYS THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL ON THESE COMPONENTS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO ME ON THE EXPRESSWAY TODAY.

DEAR SIR/ MADAM: 11-08-15 A FIRE OCCURRED AT MY HOUSE WHICH WAS LOCATED AT [XXX], ON THE ABOVE DATE, I PARKED MY 2012 CHRYSLER 200 IN THE GARAGE AND WENT TO BED. APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR AFTER RETIRING, I WAS AWAKENED BY A LOUD EXPLOSION AND MY NEIGHBORS BEATING ON MY FRONT DOOR TO AWAKEN ME AND MY 21 YEAR OLD GRANDSON. HE ALSO WAS SLEEPING IN ANOTHER BEDROOM. WHEN BOTH OF US ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE FROM THE HOUSE THROUGH THE KITCHEN/GARAGE ENTRANCE, WE WERE MET MY HEAVY BELLOWING GREY AND BLACK SMOKE THAT PREVENTED OUR EXIT AND ALMOST OVERWHELMED US. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I AM YET SUFFERING FROM THE SHOCK AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA. BECAUSE OF DEALING WITH FLASHBACKS, NIGHTMARES, INTERMITTENT WAVES OF NERVOUSNESS, DEEP SADNESS, FEELINGS OF GRIEF/LOSS, PERIODIC CONFUSION, DIGESTION ISSUES, AND NUMEROUS FINANCIAL CONCERNS, I AM IN PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WRITE THIS LETTER UNTIL NOW. EVEN NOW, A FRIEND IS ASSISTING ME WITH COMPLETING THIS COMMUNICATION. THIS IS THE SECOND CONTACT I HAVE HAD WITH YOUR CORPORATION. THE FIRST WAS THE MORNING AFTER THE FIRE, WHEN MY SON CALLED ON MY BEHALF FROM HIS CELL PHONE. HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OF THIS PARTICULAR CHRYSLER 200, HOWEVER THERE WERE SOME KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK AND IGNITION SYSTEMS THAT WERE BUILT BETWEEN MARCH AND NOVEMBER OF 2012. PLEASE UNDERSTAND. I LOST MY HOUSE, 23 LONG YEARS' WORTH OF CHERISHED BELONGINGS, AND THE CAR I RECENTLY PURCHASED. I LOST EVERYTHING IN THE FIRE. I DECIDED THAT,I WOULD RATHER INITIALLY CONTACT CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. MY HOPE IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION AND DO THE RIGHT THING WITHOUT GOING THROUGH EXPENSIVE ATTORNEYS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS MERGING ON I-271S WHEN SUDDENLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING). I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE SO I SLOWLY MANEUVERED MY CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RE-STARTED,BUT I COULDN'T STILL ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED 25 MILES TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD MY HIM THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE THAT THE SENSOR ISSUE IS SERIOUS. WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. BY SHEER LUCK I WASN'T REAR-ENDED AND I DIDN'T LOSE MY LIFE, OR WORSE, MY KIDS.

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT WITH A 7 YEAR 100,000 MILE CERTIFIED WARRANTY,WITH 29,000 MILES. AT ABOUT 31,000 MILES WHILE CITY STREET DRIVING THE BRAKES STARTED GRINDING AND SQUEAKING WHEN COMING TO A STOP, TOOK TO DEALER, THEY SAID EVERY THING WAS FINE. ANOTHER 200 MILES SAME PROBLEM, RETURNED TO DEALER THEY CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS. 200-300 MORE MILES RETURNED TO DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY CHANGED THE ROTORS. DRIVING ONE DAY APPLIED BRAKES AND THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED AND THE BRAKES DID A RAPID THUMPING SOUND AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AND NOT HIT ANYONE, ONCE AGAIN THEY CHECKED THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKES, SAID OK. MY FRONT RIMS ARE BLACK FROM BRAKE DUST. AT NIGHT WHEN I TURN THE HEATING SYSTEM ON I CAN SEE A SPARK BEHIND THE NOB. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?. I CAN'T PUT A SPECIFIC DATE ON THE EVENTS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHEN EVER I DRIVE. THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT ON FREEWAY WHEN DRIVING, AND SOUNDS LIKE THE BOTTOM IS FALLING OUT WHEN DRIVING CITY STREETS
