ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS ON THE 215 FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER-ICOASTED DANGEROULY TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, A WARNING LIGHT "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" CAME ON. AFTER AWHILE IT WENT OFF. AS SOON AS I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN.THE SECOND TIME I ALMOST GOT HIT BY SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER AWHILE THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND I RESUMED DRIVING.I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN TEMECULA CA AND AFTER INSPECTION THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE OR VICE-VERSA. AND SO THEY CHARGED ME $183 TO TELL ME THAT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. THE DEALER SAYS ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE NEWER 300 MODELS. NO WARNING ANYWHERE IN MANUAL OR CAR. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATING ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED AND CHRYSLER MOTORS IS IGNORING IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. A RECALL MUST BE MADE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLLED!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AT 24K MILES THIS VEHICLE STRANDED ME IN LANSING MICHIGAN WITH THE 3/36 BUMPER TO BUMPER STILL IN EFFECT. MY TRIP WAS INTERUPTED AND WAS OFFERED NO PLACE TO STAY OR ANY TRANSPORTATION TO MY HOME. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN THE SHOP FOR THE WEEKEND AND TWO DAYS INTO THE NEXT WEEK. DOWN 5 DAYS JUST TO RETURN IT NOT FIXED WITH ONLY THE SOFTWARE BEING REFLASHED. A TOTAL OF 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED WITH NO STEERING, NO SHIFTING AND OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED, THE POWER STEERING UNIT, A MAJOR WIRING LOOM, AND THE LOOM TO THE EBRAKE SYSTEM. VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ONLY TO REGAIN IT SOME 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE. TRANS WOULD NOT UP SHIFT. GPS WAS TELLING ME I WAS SOMEWHERE I WASN'T ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY. THIS CAR IS A LEMON IN MY OPINION, AND I NO LONGER TRUST IT OR THE SERVICE OF ANY OF THE DEALERS TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. FOUR TRIPS AND ALMOST 3 WEEKS OF TROUBLE, AND A SOLUTION AT LAST. BUT, IS IT????? NOT EVEN THE DEALER KNOWS. WHEN ASKED TO CONTACT THE REGIONAL SERVICE REP WITH CHRYSLER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREED, BUT HAD NO IDEA WHEN HE OR SHE COULD BE REACHED. FOUR SERVICE REQUESTS; A POSSIBLE SOLUTION WHICH MAY WORK LONG TERM AND MAY NOT. WHAT NOW??? AND, I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE WHICH MAY DEVELOP THE SAME PROBLEMS. UGH!

NOW INSTEAD OF BEING COVERED THE COST TO REPAIR I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ON A CAR I AM STILL FINANCING. SIMPLY RIDICULOUS , NEVER OWNING A CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR IS TRAMLINING. IN OTHER WORDS, MY CAR HAS THE TENDENCY TO FOLLOW IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD AND ENDS UP YANKING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS WHENEVER THE FRONT TIRES FIND A RUT IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO DANGEROUSLY PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ALSO, MY RADIO PRESET BUTTONS ON ENTERTAINMENT CENTER SOMETIMES DON'T FUNCTION WHEN INITIALLY STARTING MY CAR LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS. THE BUTTONS FOR MY HEATED SEATS AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL ON MY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER START-UP SCREEN SOMETIMES WILL NOT REMAIN ON AFTER ACTIVATING THEM, WHICH RESULTS IN HAVING TO REACTIVATE THEM THROUGH THE SECONDARY ACCESS MENU AFTER THE INITIAL START-UP SCREEN DISAPPEARS AND THE MAIN MENU APPEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, WHEELS
WHEN IN PARK MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS TO THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MY WIFE RECORD IT ON VIDEO FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED WHEN PARKING PARTIALLY ON ICE. THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TURNED AGAINST THE ROLL OF THE VEHICLE. ALL 3 OTHER TIRES ROLLED WITH THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE HEMI 5.7L, 5 SPD TRANSMISSION, AWD, AND MY SHIFTER IS NOT THE DIAL TYPE BUT A REGULAR SHIFTER TYPE. IS THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING REARWARD WHILE IN PARK? I CAN PROVIDE THE VIDEO EVIDENCE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MY CAR WHEN THE GAS TANK IS AUTO FILLED ALL THE WAY, UNTIL IT CLICKS, THEN IT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY HARD TO RESTART SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO RESTART.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO ROUTE 29, WITHIN MINUTES OF HAVING LEFT THE GAS STATION, AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING ANY MORE. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN COASTING IT PARTLY OFF THE ROAD. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LEARNED, AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY FULL THE STALL OUTS DON'T HAPPEN.
