SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS DRIVING JUST FINE UNTIL I WENT TO REVERSE OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT I WAS PARKED IN. I PUSHED THE BRAKE DOWN TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE GOT HARDER TO PUSH DOWN. IT DISPLAYS ON MY SCREEN THE 'BRAKE' IS ON BUT IT'S NOT. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES WENT OUT BUT IT'S SO HARD TO PUSH THEM DOWN. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT RATHER THEN ON A MAIN ROAD OR EVEN THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER. IT'S NO WAY AFTER TWO YEARS OF HAVING THIS CAR THAT ANYTHING THIS SERIOUS WITH MY BRAKES SHOULD'VE HAPPENED AT ALL.

CONDUCTED PRE-TRIP SAFETY INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. ALL LIGHTS, MIRRORS, GAUGES, AND SAFETY BELTS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THERE WERE NO ACTIVE WARNING LIGHTS, FUEL LEVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY , AND ODOMETER LOG WAS ACCURATE. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS TO INCLUDE VIBRATIONS, UNUSUAL NOISES, OR ODORS DURING INITIAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS RELATIVELY CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT. THE ONLY UNUSUAL DETAIL WE NOTICED WAS THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL TICKS (PARASITES) INSIDE THE VEHICLE. 0900: ARRIVED ON SITE AT BLUE SPRINGS LAKE AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON A GRAVEL ROAD WITH OTHER GOV VEHICLES. 1000: DROVE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES TO A GAS STATION TO USE RESTROOM AND RETURNED TO WORKSITE.

I PULLED INTO THE RIGHT TURN LANE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. WE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED ORANGE FLAMES UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I INSTRUCTED MR. BAKER TO CALL 911 AND REPORT THE FIRE ALONG WITH OUR LOCATION. I SEARCHED FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER UNDER THE SEATS AND IN THE TRUNK WITHOUT SUCCESS. A FEW SECONDS LATER A GOOD SAMARITAN IN A WORK TRUCK STOPPED AND KNOCKED DOWN THE FLAMES WITH HIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER. MILEAGE = 42,351

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT PUTS ITSELF IN NEUTRAL. EITHER FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, AT A STOP SIGN, ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY. IT'S NOT A CURRENT ISSUE IT DOES IT WHEN IT WANTS AND ITS NOT SAFE BUT EVERY DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE IS "NOTHING" WRONG WITH MY CAR I'VE BEEN FIGHTING WITH DEALERSHIPS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR OF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR, AND THE PROBLEM STILL ISN'T FIXED AND WITH A BABY ON THE WAY I REFUSE TO PUT OUR CHILD IN IT WITH HOW UNSAFE IT IS.

I HAVE HAD MY THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OF SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. RECENTLY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AND I MOVED IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. IT IS LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER BECAUSE THE CLOCK WAS NO LONGER SET TO THE CORRECT TIME. THAT WAS ON MONDAY 1/28/2019. TODAY AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WITHOUT WARNING AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER CARS WITHIN THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR LOOKED AT FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST DECIDES TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION I CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS IS ALSO NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILLED THIS FORM OUT..

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, IT HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND I NO LONGER CAN SAFELY DRIVE IT. ALL OCCASIONS WERE ON A CITY STREET WHILE BRAKING. THE CAR SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT IT IS SHIFTING GEARS EVEN WHILE REMAINING AT ONE SPEED AND THEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. IT OCCASIONALLY SHIFTS HARD AND/OR MAKES AN ODD NOISE IN THE ENGINE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TAKATA RECALL.. I WENT TO GALENA TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY'VE TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. MY SERVICE PARK BRAKE COMES ON AND SO DOES THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION, IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR AND DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM BORDERLINE WANTING TO GO FORTH WITH A LAWSUIT BECAUSE I FEAR MY LIFE IS IN DANGER WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR. BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I HAVE THREE JOBS AND I'M A FULL TIME STUDENT SO I NEED TRANSPORTATION THAT'S RELIABLE AND I FEEL LIKE WITH THIS CAR IT'S [XXX] FAR FROM IT.

ENGINE
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A WHILE NOW. I LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS BELOW 40 DEGREES MORE OFTEN THAN IT IS ABOVE 40 DEGREES. THE ISSUE THIS CAR AND MANY OTHERS ARE PLAGUED WITH IS A HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR THAT ARE PLUGGED DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ERROR FROM CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. A PLUGGED HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR NOT ONLY IS UNSAFE; IT IS UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE. WHEN MY CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY HEAT, I CANNOT DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD BARRING MY VISIBILITY AND CREATING A MASSIVE SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND FELLOW MOTORISTS. NOT ONLY DOES MY HEAT NOT WORK PROPERLY, MY CAR WILL OVERHEAT ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS. TO AN INEXPERIENCED CAR OWNER THE RISK OF DESTROYING THEIR ENGINE IS INCREDIBLY HIGH. THE REPAIR CAN RUN AS HIGH AS 1500 DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ERROR THAT IS NOT MY OR A SHOPS OVERSIGHT, AND AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS OVERSIGHT AT THAT.

ENGINE
ON DECEMBER 8TH, THE VEHICLE HAD TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE IN MOTION. IT GAVE ME A SLIGHT CHANCE TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 8TH. 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE THAT DATE IN 2017 (THE SAME YEAR I GOT THIS CAR) TURNS OUT THERE WAS NO OIL LEFT IN MY CAR, EVEN THOSE MY DASH BOARD SAID THERE WAS 34% OF OIL LEFT. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE OIL WAS RUNNING OUT SO FAST. WHETHER THERE WAS A LEAK OR SOMETHING. TURNS OUT THE PISTON RINGS IN THE CAR ARE BAD, TO FIX THIS HE SAID THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN PART FULLY AND FIXED WHICH COULD ALSO SHOW MORE UNDERLYING ISSUES. (IF ANY)
