ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND JERKED REALLY HARD. MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM'S JUST KEPT RIVING UP BUT CAR WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER. IT HAS DONE THIS TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND RAN SOME TESTS AND CLEARED OUT ALL CODES AND UPDATED SOME STUFF AND TOLD ME TO LET HI KNOW IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WELL ON THE WAY HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AND JERKED REALLY HARD MAKING MY CAR SLOW DOWN AND NOT ACCELERATE. THE CODE SAYS THE PCM/TCM BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOESNT WANT TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MULTIPLE OCCURRENCE: CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, LOSING BRAKES. THE LIGHTS ON DASH WILL START FLASHING WILDLY AND THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL START GOING ON ITS OWN WHEN TURNED OFF. CAR WILL NOT START BACK AGAIN FOR A LONG WHILE. THE AIR SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK-NO HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER, JUST STOPPED WORKING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, CAR IS UNSAFE. I'M NOT SURE HOW IT HAS A HIGH RATING IN SAFETY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER TO PROCEED ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WAS ONLY REVING UP THE ENGINE LIKE IT WAS STUCK. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GAIN SPEED BUT NO MORE THEN 45 MPH. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO GAIN SPEED IT WOULD REACH HIGH RPMS BUT NOT GO ANYWHERE BUT THEN IT WOULD JERK HARD AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING LOUD CLANKING NOISES LIKE GEARS SHIFTING MORE THEN THEY SHOULD. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH IT GOES OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE ALSO BEEN PUTTING MORE OIL IN THE CAR THEN I'VE EVER HAD TO DO. IT IS USING OIL AND THE GAS FUMES ARE STILL HORRIBLE FROM MY LAST COMPLAINT AND I AM NOT GETTING GOOD GAS MILEAGE LIKE USUAL THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE FAILURE RECCURRED. THE CODES PROVIDED WERE FOR THE PCM/TCM.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2015 DART GT WAS AT A GAS STATION TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP. ALL WAS WELL UNTIL I WENT TO START THE CAR AND PULL AWAY, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL COULDN'T DEPRESS AT ALL AND THE CAR HAD NO BRAKING AT ALL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE LEVER TO STOP THE CAR AND IT DID. THE INHUD DISPLAY SAID "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" AND THE "BRAKE" LIGHT WAS ON AT ALL TIMES, REGARDLESS IF MY EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE LEVER WAS PULLED OR NOT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I DID SO ONLY TO FIND IT WAS MURKY, A REDISH ORANGE COLOR. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INQUIRED ABOUT CURRENT RECALLS ON MY CAR AND THERE WERE NONE PERTAINING TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013-2014 MODELS (RECALL CAMPAIGN # 15V800000) BECAUSE "...ENGINE OIL FROM THE VACUUM PUMP MAY SEEP INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, DAMAGING A COMPONENT WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER." ,WHICH "COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST, LENGTHENING THE DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." WHEN I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED THE DIAGNOSTIC, THEY FOUND "OIL HAD SOAKED INSIDE OF VACUUM BOOSTER CAUSING THE VACUUM BOOSTER TO GO BAD... VACUUM LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER."

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES AS THE PANEL WOULD JUST GO BLANK FROM TIME TO TIME AND HEATER WOULD GO FULL BLAST NO WAY TO CONTROL RADIO OR ANYTHING THROUGH THE PANEL. I WOULD ALSO COMPLAIN THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD STICK MEANING ONLY WHEN I WOULD BE IN REVERSE IT WOULD STICK AND NOT GO INTO DRIVE UNLESS YOU FORCED IT TO THE LEFT AND BACK INTO DRIVE IT WOULD CATCH THE GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN A NON GOING THING THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP WE WENT AS FAR AS FILING A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AS THAT IS THE NUMBER DEALERSHIP REFERRED US TOO. THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CAR, BUT WE GOT NO WHERE WITH IT AND FINALLY WARRANTY WAS UP AND THEN THEY WANTED ALOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE PANEL AFTER IT HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE BY THEM. OUR CHART IS PROBABLY SO THICK IN REGARDS TO THE SAME WRONG MALFUNCTION. IT ONLY HAPPENS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AS RIGHT NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN AND I AM SURE WITH THE STICKING AND US NEEDING TO FORCE IT INTO DRIVE IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD THING EITHER. I HAVE THROWN MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR WITH THIS CAR AND TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME, BUT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. I WOULD JUST LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO DO RIGHT BY THIS LEMON THEY MAKE IT SO HARD TO CONSTANTLY TRY AND FOLLOWUP OR THEY KEEP GIVING US DIFFERENT NUMBERS WITH NO CALL BACK. SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE DO A REPORT ON THIS AND LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME. I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT. I AM SURE MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS MALFUNCTION AS THE PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY WERE NO GOOD. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I CAN BE CONTACTED AT [XXX]. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
