FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE (AND DOES DIE WHEN I USE THE FOB TO START IT) WHEN IT IS STARTED AND WHEN IT IS RUNNING....LAST SUNDAY (2-26-17) MY CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND VIBRATE. MY CAR BARELY HAD ANY ACCELERATION AND IT WAS HESITATING AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY REPLACE 4 SPARKPLUGS. ANOTHER TEST WAS REDONE, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED OFF AND ALL SEEMED WELL. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES BEGAN TO SPUTTER YET THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS BAD; STILL HESITATION AND NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. WEDNESDAY, MY FOB WOULD NOT START MY CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL START THE CAR BUT THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF BEFORE I CAN GET IN. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG. THE MECHANIC WANTS TO START REPLACING ONE COIL AT A TIME. HE ALSO SAID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A 2015. (MY CAR FLOODED IN AUGUST 2016 AND I PURCHASED THIS CHRYSLER ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2016)

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I CURRENTLY HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT JUST FILED ON 2/24/2017 (COMPLAINT NUMBER 10956764) THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT COMPLAINT. MY CAR WAS BEING SERVICED AT FRED FREDRICK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LAUREL, MARYLAND ON 2/24/2017 TO FIX/REPAIR THE ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE (I WAS GOING 58 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR INITIALLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING - SEE FIRST COMPLAINT). FRED FREDRICK'S PHONED AND STATED THE ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ADDITIONAL ISSUES/PROBLEMS. I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AT 4PM - BY 8:45PM (NOT EVEN 30 MILES LATER) WHILE IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR HAD EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED. MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C, WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATORS, WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE AND I'M UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN A DIFFERENT GEAR SHIFT OR MOVE IT. FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 24 HOURS I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT DARCARS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF SILVER SPRING, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO EVEN LOOK AT MY CAR UNTIL TUESDAY 2/28/2017. TODAY IS 02/25/2017 AND I'M OUT OF RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL AT LEAST 02/29/2017. I HAD TO RESORT TO PAYING FOR A RENTAL AS NEITHER CHRYSLER, NOR DARCARS WOULD PAY FOR THE RENTAL UPFRONT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY "MAY" REIMBURSE THE RENTAL IF IT IS DEEMED THAT THE WORK COMPLETED ON MY CAR WAS ESSENTIAL. IN MY OPINION, A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE SHOULD BE ESSENTIAL - MY CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY SERVICE RECORDS SINCE MAY 2016 ( PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL 2016 USED) AS WELL AS MY CURRENT RENTAL AGREEMENT. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CAR STALLED AS WELL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT TO REPAIR INSTEAD OF BUYING MY CAR OUT SO THAT I CAN PURCHASE A WORKING VEHICLE

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, MY CAR HAD MAJOR FAILURES. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (US-46), THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED FIRST, THEN WENT THE POWER STEERING NEXT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN TIME BEFORE GETTING CRUSHED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. FUNNY THING IS, I KNEW THIS WAS COMING. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON WEDNESDAY TO TELL THEM I SUSPECTED MY CAR WAS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES OTHERS HAVE HAD. MY CAR STARTED SHAKING QUITE A BIT WHEN I WAS DRINKING ON TUESDAY 2/21/17. WHEN YOU RESEARCH THIS FOR THIS MODEL, YOU'LL FIND ALL SORTS OF SCARY STORIES, LIKE MINE TODAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN OFF, TREATED LIKE A MORON, AND TOLD THEY COULD SEE ME ON MARCH 7. HELPFUL, RIGHT? SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR TOMORROW MORNING 2/25/17. ALAS, I DIDN'T MAKE IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I JUST HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS AND UNDERSTANDS 1. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PERSON IT HAPPENED TO AND 2. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. I ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE TODAY. OTHERS MAY NOT.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 58MPH, IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND (I WAS TRAVELING ON ICC 200W FROM LAUREL TO I95) ON 2/24/2017 MY CAR - WITHOUT WARNING CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHUT OFF. THE CAR SPUTTERED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR PRESENTED A MESSAGE "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" "SERVICE PARK BRAKE" WHILE THE "DRIVE" FUNCTION BLINKED PROFUSELY. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND AWAIT A TOW TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MY CAR IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IS STATING THAT A BATTERY WIRE WAS LOOSE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP, HOWEVER MY CAR MAINTAINED POWER THE ENTIRE THREE HOURS I WAITED FOR THE TOW. ALSO AS A PRECAUTION, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DASH BEFORE BEING TOWED AND BOTH THE BATTERY POWER AND OIL WERE FINE. I RECENTLY HAD MY PCM AND TCM REPROGRAMMED DUE TO A FAULTY DTC CODE (12/2016) AT KOONS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN TYSON'S CORNER, VA. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE HOWEVER IT CLEARLY DIDN'T. IF I WAS TRAVELING DURING RUSH HOUR OR ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND/OR SEVERELY INJURED AS THE CAR STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED AT FRED FREDRICK'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM IN LAUREL, MD.

THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200C. FROM TIME-TO-TIME, IT SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS SOMEPLACE OTHER THAN WHERE I KNOW IT TO BE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE TIME OF DAY ALSO DISPLAYS INCORRECTLY. THIS LEADS ME TO GUESS THAT THE UNIT IS SOMEHOW PROCESSING THE GPS SIGNAL INCORRECTLY. THE ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN THE PARKING LOT OF A KNOWN LOCATION OF A BUSINESS CALLED PREFERRED CARE AT WALL IN WALL, NJ. IT'S LOCATION IS SHOWN IN THE GOOGLE MAPS SCREENSHOT1 ATTACHED. IN THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THE BLUE AWNING OVER THE ENTRYWAY AND THE THREE FLAG POLES, JUST AS SHOWN IN THE GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW. BUT THE NAV SCREEN SHOWS THE VEHICLE TO BE ON ORCHARD CREST BLVD EAST OF ROUTE 34 IN MANASQUAN, NJ, ABOUT 2-1/2 MILES EAST OF THE VEHICLE'S KNOWN POSITION. YOU CAN SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO LOCATIONS IN SCREENSHOT2 ATTACHED. IN ADDITION, THE NAV SYSTEM IS DISPLAYING THE TIME OF DAY AS 7:03. THE ACTUAL TIME OF DAY AT THE TIME THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN WAS 7:39 AS SHOWN ON THE WATCH ON THE DASH. THAT WATCH IS CONNECTED TO A SMARTPHONE AND DISPLAYS THE TIME OF DAY ACCORDING TO VERIZON WIRELESS. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THE PRESENCE OF A TECHNICIAN, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. AN UNRELIABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS FOR A DRIVER WHO MUST NAVIGATE THROUGH UNFAMILIAR AREAS OR MAKE A DETOUR FROM A KNOWN ROUTE. BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS BECAUSE IS PRESENTS AN UNPREDICTABLE DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH GEAR, THE CAR EXPERIENCES A A BRIEF ACCELERATION AS ENGINE SPEED MOMENTARILY INCREASES. THIS PERIOD OF ACCELERATION OCCURS AT THE DOWNSHIFT WHETHER THE CAR IS COASTING OR THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION AS IF THE BRAKES ARE BEING LIGHTLY BEING APPLIED, THE CAR COULD LURCH FORWARD INTO A CAR IN FRONT. OR RESULT IN A POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL IF THE STREET IS ICY OR ODDURS DURING A TURN. I HAVE HAD TWO TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATES WHICH HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM.
