CAR WILL STALL AND WILL INDICATE ON THE DASH TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE THE D FLASHS ON BOTH THE DASH AND ON THE GEAR SELECTOR. ONCE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND I TRY TO RESTART THE CAR IT SOUNDS LIKE IT TRIES TO START AND TIMES OUT AND I HAVE TO TRY AGAIN.

ENGINE
MY OIL WAS RECENTLY CHANGED 2/28/2019, THE OIL IS 3 MONTHS OLD AND I'VE ONLY DRIVE 2,133 MILES SINCE. MY CAR TAKES FULL SYNTHETIC OIL AND SHOULD LAST FOR 6,000 MILES. I CHECKED IT TODAY 6/12/2019 AND MY CAR TELLS ME I HAVE 66% LEFT AND I DO NOT I NEED TO GET A OIL CHANGED EVEN BEFORE HITTING 3,000 MILES BECAUSE THERE IS NONE LEFT. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN 3/4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS. A FEW MONTHS BACK I GOT THIS CHECKED OUT BY MY MECHANIC AND EVEN A SECOND MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THAT THE PISTONS RINGS ON MY CAR ARE BAD AND IS CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, THERE IS NO LEAK ETC. SO MY CAR CONSTANTLY RUNS OUT OF OIL BEFORE ITS TIME TO CHANGE IT AND IS CAUSING MY CAR TO CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND EITHER CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES OR GET RID OF THE CAR. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO CONTINUOUSLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT. SO I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM I'VE HAD FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF WITH HOPES FOR A SOLUTION

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. I'VE REPORTED THIS BEFORE AND CHRYSLER INSISTS OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM NOR IT IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS WHILE SPEED CONTROL IS ON AND GOING DOWNHILL. THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IN AN APPARENT ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE BY SHIFTING DOWN TO WAY TOO LOW OF A GEAR. OFTEN RPM'S WILL RACE NEAR 5000+ AND THE SCARIEST PART IS WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT RELEASE. I HAVE BEEN THE ONE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HALF A DOZEN OR MORE TIMES. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONE AND EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN SHE QUICKLY APPROACHED A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE AND THE SPEED CONTROL WOULD NOT RELEASE. SHE HAS BLADDER ISSUES AND PEE'D HER PANTS, LITERALLY. LUCKILY SHE HAS BEEN IN THE VEHICLE BEFORE WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND SHE THOUGHT QUICKLY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKE WHICH RELEASED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND ALLOWED HER TO GET HER COMPOSURE BACK. IT WAS A CLOSE AND SCARY CALL FOR HER. AGAIN, WE HAVE REPORTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND CHRYLSER SAYS OUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, WHICH IS A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPGRADE WHICH THEY HAVE AND DOESN'T COST THEM MUCH FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO APPLY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO SATURDAY LATE AFTERNOON MAY 18, 2019.

POWER TRAIN
THERE IS OFTEN A SIGNIFICANT DELAY WITH ENGAGING DRIVE AFTER REVERSING AND COMING TO A FULL STOP. THERE IS SUCH A DELAY SUCH AS THE USUAL SLIGHT INCREASE IN ACCELERATION EXPECTED AND NEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD THAT WHEN DRIVE FINALLY KICKS IN IT CLUNKS AND JERKS UNTIL IT STARTS MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN, MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES. THE SHIFTING ALSO SEEMS JERKY SOMETIMES WHILE IN DRIVE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN THE LOWER GEARS. I SUSPECT SOFTWARE ISSUES OF SHIFT POINTS PERHAPS OR JUST BAD COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT COMMUNICATE TO MAKE THE SHIFTS OCCUR AT THE RIGHT TIMES. I MADE AN ACTUAL REPORT TO CHRYSLER WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO AT THE SAME TIME I REPORTED THE ISSUE WITH THE SPEED CONTROL NOT SHUTTING OFF (WHICH IS AN ACTIVE RECALL BUT THEY SAY OUR CAR DOESN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT RECALLABLE) BUT NOT SURE THEY MADE NOTE OF IT IN MY VIN FILE. I AM GOING TO CALL THEM AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE PERSON SHOWS IN THEIR NOTES...

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED GOING DOWN A STEEPER GRADE ON I-81 THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES AND WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT. I HAVE TO STOMP THE BRAKE OR CANCEL CRUISE CONTROL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM STEERING COLUMN. CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 65 MPH AND SPEED INCREASED TO ~75 MPH. THIS HAPPENS AT THIS SAME POINT ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY TIME I GO THRU THERE. SCARY!!!!

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FIRST PROBLEM: THE CAR STALLS AND/OR DIES WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SHE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO GET IT STARTED AND DRIVE IT HOME BUT IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (?) WERE ALL ON. SECOND PROBLEM: THERE IS A MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMES ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WIT THE SAME PROBLEM. ON THE YELLOW WIRE BOX UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, THERE WAS A BLACK LATCH (?) THAT CLICKED WHEN I SQUEEZED. THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED THE VEHICLE, LET IT IDLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. PUT IT IN DRIVE AND DROVE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. GOT TO THE CORNER TO MAKE A RT TURN AND THE CAR DIED. DASH SAYS TO PUT CAR IN PARK. I THEN PRESSED THE START/IGNITION BUTTON AND IT STALLED, HAD A HARD TIME STARTING AGAIN. FINALLY STARTED AND I DROVE TO THE NEXT CORNER, IT STOPPED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE OR MORE. FINALLY STARTED. I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY TO GO BACK HOME. IT DIED/STOPPED AGAIN. I LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER DASH SAID TO PUT IN PARK. IT FINALLY STARTED. I HEADED BACK HOME, WHILE DRIVING /IN MOTION, IT STOPPED AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE CURB. IT STARTED RATHER QUICKLY, AND I MADE IT BACK TO PARK IT ON THE STREET. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT SINCE THEN, BUT I DID START ON JUNE 1, 2019, WHERE I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WOULD STALL/STOP. IT DID NOT, BUT I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE MAY 22, 2019. HAVING IT TOWED ON JUNE 4, 2019 TO ONTARIO JEEP/CHRYSLER TO CHECK THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THESE PAST FEW DAYS MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT WITH NO WARNING. ALL OF THESE TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR STALLS AND MESSAGE WILL APPEAR TO SOMETHING UPON PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PUT IN PARK. ONCE YOU DO THAT THE CAR WILL TRY TO RESTART ITSELF. MY CAR EVENTUALLY RESTARTS BUT HAS STILL YET RESTARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANY OTHER WARNING CODES( NO WARNING CODES BEFORE NOR AFTER THE STALLING). THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO LOOK INTO AND ADDRESS.
