ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAVE HAD VEHICLE APPROX 1 YR. WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON CITY STREET CHECK ENGINE CAME ON WITH ENGINE OVERHEAT MSG AND ENGINE COOLING SENSOR AS WELL. REPLACED SENSOR AND WHILE DRIVING THE NEXT DAY ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM READJUSTS ITSELF TO THE NEW SENSOR MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN WITH ADDED SERVICE ELECRTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL MSG AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AGAIN. I WAS NEAR OREILL AND IT PRODUCED CODES FOR THERMOSTAT, COOLING SENSOR, SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, ETC. MESSAGES ARE NOT ON SCREEN NOW BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STILL ON. I BELIEVE IT TRIGGERS WHEN COOLING TEMP REACHES APPX, 189 F. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AND SEEMS THE PROBLEM ESCALATES TO MUCH WORSE SUCH AS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO RECALLS THUS FAR BUT MANY PEOPLE ANTICIPATING SOMEONE NEEDING TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. I DRIVE WITH MY CHILDREN ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME AND AM VERY CONCERNED.

AIR BAGS
ON DECEMBER 31, 2017 MY WIFE AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOMEFROM CHURCH WHEN THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. WE READ THE OWNERS MANUAL, NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING CAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS. ON JANUARY 2, 2018 I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER NEAR ME AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. LATER THAT DAY THE SERVICE MAN CALLED AND SAID IT WAS THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND A SHORT WIRE HARNESS, THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $800.00 WHICH I SPENT $127.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED BECAUSE I FEEL THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME OUR AIR BAGS DON'T WORK. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THIS DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF SERVICE CALLS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED TWO OTHER DEALER, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL STOCK REPLACEMENT PARTS SO THIS MUST BE AN A SERIOUS ISSUE. THE DEALER CALLED OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY CO. AND IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND NEVER GOT A RETURN CALL AFTER SHE HUNG UP ON ME. SO AT THIS TIME THIS IS WHY I AM WRITING YOU. *JS

ENGINE
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON A TRIP FROM BELLEVUE, OHIO TO FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. AROUND 300 MILES ROUND TRIP, GIVE OR TAKE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL BEFORE WE LEFT AND IT WAS FINE. NO PROBLEMS ON THE RIDE THERE. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 3-4 HOURS WE WERE LEAVING THE PARK, GOING DOWN A HILL WITH A CURVE AT THE BOTTOM AND THE CAR JUST DIES. NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE ALMOST HIT A CAMPER. THE ONLY THING THAT STILLED WORKED WAS THE RADIO. THE CAR FINALLY STOPS ON ITS OWN. MY HUSBAND PUTS IT IN PARKING AND CHECKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. WHEN HE TRUE TO START THE BACK UP, IT STRUGGLES THE FIRST TWO TRIES. THE THIRD TIME IT TURNED OVER. NO LIGHTS ON DASH TO EXPLAIN THE STALL. WE NERVOUSLY DRIVE THE CAR ALL THE WAY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR OVER NIGHT. WE GO IN TO PICK UP OUR CAR AND THEY TELL US THAT THEY HAD TO PUT 3 3/4 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT BEING LOW ON OIL CAUSED THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS FEATURE. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE OUR CAR HAD OVER 50,000 IT WILL BURN THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES..SERIOUSLY. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE US 75 DOLLARS FOR LABOR, WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR OUR CAR. ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE IT DOES STATE THAT OUR CAR WILL CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 750 MILES. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. MY DAD IS A RETIRED MECHANIC OF 45 YEARS AND HES BEYOND OUTRAGED THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. AT 80 AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR SOMEONE THAT TRAVELS A LOT, THAT'S RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? MIND BLOWN BY THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SEIZES. IT HAPPENED AT 3,500 MILES (DEALERSHIP STATED BLOWN FUSE) AND AGAIN AT 12,500 MILES. I AM DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPS AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. IT IS A SUDDEN STOP AND WILL CAUSE A CRASH AND INJURIES. I WILL NOT GET BACK INTO THAT CAR! BOTH TIMES, IT WAS AT 25 MILES PER HOUR, JUST STARTING BACK AFTER A STOP SIGN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN THROWING AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE ENGINE IS RUNNING HOT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDS SERVICED. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING FINE AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RUNNING HOT. THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND COME BACK ON ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO THE NEXT TRIP. THE DEALER STATED THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND QUOTED ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE THE SENSORS. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR (2ND OWNER) AND JUST ROLLED OVER 60,000 MILES.

WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF AND GIVE ME A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE FOBS HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY HAVEN'T. AT TIMES, I ALSO GET A MESSAGE TELLING ME THE KEY FOB WAS NOT DETECTED WHEN TRYING TO GET IN AND/OR START THE CAR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
A FEW DAYS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL IT WAS NOT SERIOUS BUT IF CONTINUED, TO HAVE THE CODE CHECKED. I HAD NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO, BUT ALL SEEMED TO BE RUNNING NORMALLY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LAST NIGHT AND THE THERMOSTAT LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID SOMETHING REGARDING THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE CAME ACROSS THE MESSAGES. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, AND THE ENGINE SEEMED FINE...NOT VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH SO I DECIDED TO TRY AND TAKE IT TO PEP BOYS TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE MESSAGE WAS GONE, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE PEP BOYS TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE CODE, THE CODE THAT WAS READ WAS P0128. I SPOKE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE HAD SAID HE HAD SEEN A LOT OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 200 MODELS AND ADVISED ME TO CHECK THE RECALL...WHICH DOES NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE FOR ANY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. STALLED 4 TIMES 12/10/17 THEN WAS DRIVING ROUGH, AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE STREET THE RED LIGHTING BOLT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS IN, STARTED CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. IT TOOK AROUND 8-10 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF WARNINGS GOING ACROSS THE SCREEN SAYING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. SO I TAKE THE CAR IN AND THE TCM IS NEEDING REPLACED AND THE ENGINE MAY NEED REPLACED. THIS IS NOT OK FOR A 2015 CAR TO HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS.
