ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HAD FUEL PUMP REPLACED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THEN AT GAS STATION WOULDNT START AT ALL, HAD A TOW TRUCK TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND THAT MECHANIC TAPPED ON GAS TANK AND IT STARTED AND SAID FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACE SO I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THE NEW FUEL PUMP HAD A WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH FUEL PUMP BUT FOUND PROBLEM WIRH #2 SELINOID AND THEY REPLACED IT. TWO WEEKS LATER THS CAR WAS DRIVING FINE BUT WHEN I GOT HOME AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR A COUPLE HOURS IT STARTED RIGHT UP. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND ON A COUPLE TIMES THEN THE ENGINE SURGED THEN HESTITATED THEN DIED. IT DID IT TWICE AFTER STARTING IT THEN TURNING ITVON ABOUT 5 TIMES TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2017. I HAD BOTH STRUT MOUNTS FIXED, FUEL PUMP, AN AIR VALVE FROM COOLANT DO NOT REMEMBER EXACT NAME, #2 SELINOID NOW THIS PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR AND ITS NOT RELIABLE AND SCARED TO DRIVE IT AND WRECK.

SUSPENSION
I WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT CAME APART. THIS LET THE CONTROL ARM FALL IN TO THE RIM. BREAKING IT AND BLOWING OUT TIRE. ALSO DAMAGED CV AXLE AND PASSENGER SIDE FENDER. PRIOR TO THAT ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINT DID THE SAME THING. THIS TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN LEFT. ALSO DROPPED CONTROL ARM THROUGH THE RIM AND TIRE. THUS DAMAGING CV AXLE AND FENDER. AFTER THIS L CHECKED IN TO THIS AND SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR VEHICLE. AFTER CHECKING MY VIN# I SAW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. AN PERHAPS MORE VEHICLES SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST FOR RECALL.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT OF MY VEHICLE CAME ON TWO DAYS AGO WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE HAVING ANY ACCIDENT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND AS SOON AS I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ONE. THE AIRBAG IS HOWEVER INTACT AND HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I AM JUST SURPRISE AN AIRBAG WILL COME ONE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE HAVING ANY CRASH.

POWER TRAIN
THIS MORNING I GOT TO WORK AND PUT MY VEHICLE TO PARK AND WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE THE SHIFT DOES NOT MOVE. TRYING TO PARK PARKED MY VEHICLE. SHIFTER CANNOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND THAT, DODGE/CHRYSLER, ALREADY HAVE SOME RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. RECALL #K39. I CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER #K39 RECALL. IT IS A BIG COINCIDENCE THEY HAVE A RECALL ON 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER, BUT NOT ON THIS VEHICLE. I WILL KEEP THIS VEHICLE PARK WHEN AN INVESTIGATION IS CONDUCTED ON THIS ISSUE. IF CHRYSLER USED THE SAME PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS VEHICLES IN RECALL #K39, IT WILL BE VERY LIKELY THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND ISSUE THE SAME RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION.

FAULTY OR NO HEM FLANGE SEALER IN THE PAINT SHOP WAS USED TO PREVENT WATER SEEPING UNDER PAINT ON TWO PLACES OF THE FRONT HOOD AND ONCE PLACE ON THE LEFT REAR FENDER. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PAINT TO BUBBLE IN ALL THREE LOCATIONS, ALLOWED WATER TO GATHER IN ALL THREE PLACES AND IS CAUSING RUST DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, NOT TO MENTION THE UGLY APPEARANCE OF BUBBLED PAINT AND POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUED RUST DAMAGE! THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AND I'M SURE OTHER VEHICLES MADE AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ISSUES.

TOOK VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BALL JOINT TAKEN CARE OF. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE DEALER SOLD ME A CAR WITH A VERY ROTTED SUBFRAME AND THAT THE CAR IS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO DRIVE. I WAS TAKEN TO SEE THE SUBFRAME. THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS AS WELL AS LARGE HOLES. THEY WOULD NOT DO THE BALL JOINTS BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE SUBFRAME TO BREAK COMPLETELY. IF THE FRAME WOULD BREAK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE DEADLY. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT, EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON ONLY THREE OF THEIR VEHICLE MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE. SEBRINGS WERE NOT ON THE LIST. MY SON IS WILLING TO GO UNDER THE CAR FOR PICTURES IF NEEDED.
