POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED THIS CAR IN THE SPRING, THE CAR HAD 100 MILES. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC THE CAR WAS DOWN SHIFTING HARD, MENTIONED THIS TO SERVICE WHERE THEY STATED THE CAR WAS GETTING USED TO MY DRIVING. I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR MANY YEARS WHERE THE TRANSITION BETWEEN GEARS WAS FAR SMOOTHER. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL AROUND 10,000 MILES WHEN ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. SINCE THEN TWO RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AND THE DOWN SHIFTING ISSUE HAS WORSENED. AGAIN TOLD, CAR NEEDS TO GET USE TO MY DRIVING AS IT IS ALL DIGITAL. DROVE A 2015 DODGE JOURNEY WHILE CAR WAS WORKED ON FOR A RECALL, IT HAD 9,000 MILES ALL DIGITAL...HAD ZERO ISSUES WITH DOWN SHIFTING. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT CLEARLY SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. 1ST AND LAST CHRYSLER I WILL EVER OWN. I AM FREQUENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ON MY CAR THAT THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE SPREAD ELECTRICAL TERMINALL(S). A SPREAD ELECTRICAL TERMINAL(S) COULD CAUSE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION(S) TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL OR A SHIFT TO NEUTRAL EVENT. EITHER OF THE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. SO I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE FIXED SINCE I AM VERY CONCERNED AND DO NOT WANT TO CRASH FOR SURE. MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WAS FOR OCTOBER 22ND AT 8AM. WHEN I GOT TOSERVIC DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID OH SHE FORGOT TO PUT YOU DOWN FOR THE RECALL SO WE CAN'T FIX TODAY BECAUSE WE DO NTOT HAVE THE PARTS. SO I RESCHEDULED TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED AND THAT APPOINTMENT WAS FOR FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH AT 8AM.I WENT INSIDE, REGISTERED MY CAR, AND LEFT MY KEYS WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS ON MY WAY. I HAD MY DAUGHTER PICK ME UP SINCE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP MY CAR FOR 8 HOURS AND I DID NOT WANT TO SIT THERE FOR 8 HOURS. ABOUT 45 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I RECIEVED A CALL FROM THEM STATING THAT THEY WOULD ONCE AGAIN NOT BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT. THEY CLAIM THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER BUT I AM RECEIVING EMAILS FROM CHRYSLER SAYING PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TAKE YOUR CAR IN IMMEDIATELY TO BE FIXED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED PROPERLY. JUST THE OTHER DAY IT SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT AND A CRASH DID NOT OCCUR. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT??
