THIS CAR HAS A BAD BLIND SPOTS IN IT, WHEN YOUR CHANGING LANES YOU HAVE BETTER MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOOK ALL THE WAY AROUND OVER YOUR LEFT SHOULDER BEFORE CHANGING LANES OR YOU WILL HIT THE CAR THAT'S BESIDE YOU, I COULD NOT SEE THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE AND I PUT MY TURN SIGNALS ON AND GOT HALF WAY OVER AND THEIR WAS A CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME AND THE CAR HIT ME ON THE FRONT PANEL AND THE DOOR, THEY CHARGE ME WITH IMPROPER LANE CHANGE AND I COULDN'T SEE THIS CAR IN MY MIRROR, WHEN YOU BACK UP IN THIS CAR YOU HAD BETTER BE CAREFUL CANNOT SEE WELL OUT OF THE CAR TO BACK UP, USING YOUR MIRRORS YOU STILL CANNOT SEE EVERYTHING.MAYBE THE MIRRORS SHOULD BE ONE SIZE BIGGER, SO YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE ROAD BESIDE YOU. THIS COST ME 2POINTS ON MY LICENSE, HADN'T HAD A TICKET IN 30 YEARS, COST ME 155.00 AND 1,100.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOK INTO, VERY POOR DESIGN ON THIS . I UNDERSTAND THEIR ARE RECALLS ON THIS CAR, BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTON ANYTHING FROM THE DEALER YET AND A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHEN DRIVING, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR; *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I START THE CAR ON A "COLD" START - IT PULSES AND ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO DIE OUT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS FOR IT TO CATCH AND RUN NORMAL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF RIGHT NOW. NO TIMEFRAME FOR THE SOLUTION!! THIS IS NOT FAIR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW WITH 69 MILES ON IT. DROVE IT HOME WHICH IS ABOUT 40 MILES HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTS THIS JUNK. DEALER SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" AND MOST NEW CARS DO THIS. IT ALSO HAD A RUBBER BURN SMELL. THAT TOO WAS SAID TO BE "NORMAL". *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE POWER FAILED. I HAD FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS AND WAS PROCEEDING HOME IN TRAFFIC ON CONNECTICUT AVENUE IN WASHINGTON, DC. WE WERE STOPPED DUE TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR BESIDE ME TO THE RIGHT MOTIONED FOR ME TO OPEN MY WINDOW. HE TOLD ME THE GAS CAP WAS NOT ON AND WAVING AT THE SIDE. I THANKED HIM AND THEN TRIED TO MANEUVER THE CAR. THE CAR HAD NO POWER. I TRIED MOVING THE GEAR INTO LOW, BUT THAT DID NOTHING. THE CARS BESIDE ME AND BEHIND ME MOVED ON AS I SAT THERE. I PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL. AS THE STREET WAS ON A DOWNHILL SLANT, ONCE THE CARS WERE GONE, THE CAR COULD SORT OF COAST AND I MANAGED TO STEER IT THROUGH FORCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL HEADING TO THE CURB SIDE WHERE THERE WAS A SIDE STREET. AS THE CAR CAME TO A STOP JUST INTO THE SIDE STREET, A YOUNG WOMAN ON THE SIDEWALK COMMENTED ON THE GAS CAP. I ASKED IF SHE COULD PUT IT IN AND SAID THAT THE POWER HAD GONE OFF. WE WONDERED IF THAT WOULD HELP. SHE CLOSED THE GAS CAP. I SHOVED THE GEAR INTO PARK AND IT JERKED AS I DID THAT. I THEN TRIED TURNING THE KEY TO NO AVAIL. I TOOK OUT THE KEY, REINSERTED AND TURNED IT AGAIN. I BELIEVE IT WAS THEN THAT THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT AROUND AND HEAD TO MY RESIDENCE THREE BLOCKS AWAY. *TR

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
DURING LAUNCH OF 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AT STERLING HEIGHTS ASSEMBLY PLANT VEHICLES HAVE HAD AT LEAST 30 TORQUE FAILURES OR NO READS FOR CRITICAL JOINTS. THEREFORE TORQUE WOULD HAVE TO BE VERIFIED MANUALLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE COMPANY HAS NOT PROVIDED THE PROPER SOCKETS TO THE WRENCHES TO VERIFY THE JOINTS. DESPITE THIS MANAGEMENT HAS PRESSURED SUPERVISORS TO LEAVE NO DEFECTS ON THE LINE. THIS ENVIRONMENT HAS CAUSED SUPERVISORS TO BUY OFF ON UNVERIFIED TORQUE ON CRITICAL SAFETY JOINTS. *TR

SUSPENSION
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY CAR FISHTAILING BADLY IN WINTER WEATHER. IN THE SLIGHTEST SNOW FALL OR ICE IT FISHTAILS SO BADLY CAUSING ME TO SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS AROUND 35 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT I THOUGHT IT WAS MY TIRES AND ALIGNMENT SO I HAD BOUGHT NEW WINTER TIRES AND HAD THE ALIGNMENT REDONE BUT AFTER DRIVING IT SOON AFTER I REALIZED THAT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. SO I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE ADDING SOME WEIGHT WOULD HELP BUT IT DANGEROUSLY GOT WORSE. TONIGHT I WAS DRIVING AND HIT A SLIGHT PATCH OF ICE AND IT FISHTAILED SO VIOLENTLY I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSED A SEMI TRUCK TO CRASH JUST TO AVOID ME. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE BY ANY STANDARDS OF WINTER WEATHER DRIVING. EVEN A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS AN AUTO MECHANIC AGREES THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE. IT FEELS AS IF THE REAR SUSPENSION IS LOOSE BUT WHEN INSPECTED I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I USE TO DRIVE A TOYOTA YARIS THAT DID WAY BETTER IN WINTER WEATHER THAN THIS AND MIND YOU IT ONLY HAD THE FACTORY TIRES. THANK YOU. *TR
