UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS NOTICED IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AFTER STARTING. THE ODOR INCREASES AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND WARMS UP. I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISSIPATE THE SMELL SINCE BRINGING IN OUTSIDE AIR THROUGH THE BLOWER SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORSE. IT HAS REALLY GOTTEN BAD IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AFTER CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY I TURNED LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO OFF POSITION AND THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL THEN CAME ON. TURNED THE RIGHT ONE ON THEN OFF TO GET IT TO STOP AND THE LEFT ONE CAME BACK ON. THEN THEY WERE SWITCHING BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT WITH ME DOING NOTHING. FINALLY I THOUGHT TO TURN HAZARD LIGHTS ON THEN OFF TO SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK AND IT DID. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER I WAS RIDING AND MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING AND THE TURN SIGNAL CAME ON BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. HE HAD TO TURN THEM ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THEM TO ACTUALLY TURN OFF. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I WAS IN MY SISTER'S DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSHED THE BUTTON TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH SAID THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE IN PARK BEFORE IT COULD BE TURNED OFF. SINCE THE CAR WAS ALREADY IN PARK ON THE DIAL, I PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND BACK INTO PARK TO TRY TO GET IT TO WORK AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND MOVED SLIGHTLY FORWARD THEN PUT IT BACK INTO PARK WHERE IT FINALLY RECOGNIZED THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY IN PARK AND ALLOWED ME TO TURN IT OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUES, BUT WOULD MAKE NOTE OF THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN SEPT. 2014. THE CAR THAT I TEST DROVE WAS NOTHING LIKE THE CAR I GOT. WHEN I MENTIONED THE DIFFERENCE TO THE SALES PERSON, HE STATED THAT THEY WERE THE SAME AND THAT THE CAR HAD TO ADJUST TO THE WAY I DROVE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY FORGOT TO DO SERVICE WORK ON THE CAR PREVIOUSLY AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE CAR WOULD FEEL BETTER AFTER 250 MILES. I INFORMED HIM THAT THE CAR HAD 500 MILES AND HE STATED THAT IT SHOULD "FEEL SMOOTHER SOON." I TOOK THE CAR BACK UP TO MACK HAIK DODGE IN GEORGETOWN TX, WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND A MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND I SHOULD LOOK FOR SOMETHING THAT I LIKED AND THEY WOULD HELP ME. THE SALES PERSON THAT WAS GOING TO "HELP" ME WAS SOMEONE THAT I MET AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THAT HIS WIFE HAD THE SAME CAR AND THAT HALF OF THEM CAME OUT WITH PROBLEMS AND THE OTHER HALF WAS FINE. HE STATED THAT I PROBABLY GOT ONE WITH PROBLEMS. HE STATED THAT THEY WERE EITHER GREAT OF HAD ISSUES. I AM NOW GOING TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND HAVE THE RECALL FIXED. THE RECALL IS FOR THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN TELLING THEM FOR A YEAR. AT ONE POINT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX ANYTHING BECAUSE THEIR TRANSMISSION GUY WAS OUT ON SICK LEAVE. MY CAR HAS BEEN DANGEROUS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. IT HESITATES WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE CAR STARTS OUT, IT LUNGES FORWARD AND FEELS LIKE A BUCKING HORSE. I WAS EMBARRASSED TO PUT PEOPLE IN MY CAR. I WORKED WITH A GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT TRANSPORTED CHILDREN AND FELT TERRIFIED TO PLACE A CHILD IN MY CAR. MACK HAIK HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. THEIR SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM WAS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR WITH A $200.00 DOLLAR MORE PAYMENT. I'VE BEEN SO FRUSTRATED THAT I CONSIDERED A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THE DEALER HAD TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CAN YOU HELP?

ENGINE, STEERING
I HAVE A 2011 CHRYSLER 200 2.4L ENGINE THAT OVER THIS PASSED WEEK HAS STALLED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SHOW SIGNS OF "LAGGING" AND WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS JUST SHUT OFF. I AM CURRENTLY A COLLEGE STUDENT AND RELY ON HAVING A VEHICLE TO DRIVE, SINCE I LIVE 6 HOURS FROM HOME. TONIGHT I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND IT STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES EVERY TIME I WOULD GET ABOUT 100 YARDS AND IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN, FINALLY I GOT A SAFE PLACE TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY APARTMENT. TOMORROW I AM HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS BUT I GO THROUGH THE MENU ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT ALWAYS SAY "SYSTEM: OK" SO NO WARNING CODE IS POPPING UP. WHICH I KNOW WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND JUST SEND ME ON MY WAY. BUT THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE POWERS OFF AND ONE OF THE TIMES IT HAS DONE THIS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR AND AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN ABOUT IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC), SHIFTER, PARKING BREAK, TRANSMISSION WIRE, POWER TRAIN, AND ENGINE STOPPED WORKING ON 12/05/15. THE CARE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER ON 12/7/15. THE WORKED ON IT ALL WEEK THROUGH 12/10/15. THE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FIXED. I CAME TO PICK IT UP, AND I DROVE IT BACK TO WORK, TO THE STORE, THEN BACK HOME WHERE IT WAS PARKED OVER NIGHT. I WAKE UP THIS MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND DROP MY GIRLS OFF AT SCHOOL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. THE CAR WILL NOT START, THE BRAKE IS TIGHT, THE SYSTEM IS NOT DETECTING MY KEY FOB, AND THE CARE JERKS A LITTLE BIT AND THEN DIES. THE DASH WILL COME ON BUT THE CARE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME "IT WORKED LAST YESTERDAY ONCE WE FINISHED REPAIRS.' I'M FRUSTRATED AND MADE BECAUSE I ONLY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT 2 WEEKS AGO THAT MY CAR WAS UP FOR A RECALL. THEN THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELL ME IT'S UNDER 2-3 RECALLS. MY INSURANCE WILL PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. HOWEVER, SINCE THIS IS MECHANICAL AND NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT I CAN'T GET A RENTAL. I CALL THE DEALER TO REQUEST A LOANER CAR, AND THEY TELL ME THAT CHRYSLER ONLY PROVIDES THEM WITH FIVE LOANER CARS, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR HIGHER PRIORITY CUSTOMERS WHO MAJOR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IF I READ THIS ONE RECALL CORRECT, ONE OF THE ISSUES CAN CAUSE ME TO HURT MYSELF OR OTHERS IN A BAD ACCIDENT IT THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECT. TO TOP IT OFF THEY WON'T EVEN PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEY FIX A PROBLEM THAT WAS CAUSED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT THEY DON'T USUALLY REPLACE CARS, AS THEY PROBABLY WILL ONLY MAKE REPAIRS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HERE TELLS ME THAT THE RECALLS WERE MADE IN FEBRUARY 2015. WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED UNTIL RECENTLY. I COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. VERY UNHAPPY!

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER CROSSING A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY THE CAR "JERKED" AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. ( PRIOR TO THIS I WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN AND I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. ) I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF IMMEDIATELY MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT ITSELF OFF. I DID NOT INITIALLY TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT ONCE I RETURNED TO IT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DID NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT HAD IT TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80.000 MILES.
