ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON SEPT 23, 2015 I TOOK MY CAR INTO ED VOYLES BECAUSE I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION OF MY CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUCKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. I HAD TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL FOR IT TO STOP. THE SERVICE MECHANIC TEST DROVE MY CAR ON SEPT. 23 AND NOTED THAT IT WAS SHIFTING HARD BUT SINCE THERE WAS NOT AN OPEN RECALL FOR IT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. ON OCTOBER 24, 2015 I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THAT THE AN OPEN RECALL ON THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITH ED VOYLES (THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM) TO NO AVAIL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS FOR THE PART THAT I NEEDED AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL CHRYSLER LET THEM ORDER PARTS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS AT ALL! THE RECALL STATES "THIS MAY RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL OR A SHIFT TO NEUTRAL EVENT. EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND MY SAFETY AND MY LIFE IS AT RISK AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GET AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED FOR LEMON LAW VIOLATIONS IN THE STATE OF GA.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DURING NORMAL DRIVING AT NIGHT, ANY SPEED, ANY TYPE ROAD. THERE IS VERY LIMITED LOW BEAM PROJECTION. APPEARS TO BE APPROX. 50' OR LESS(3 WHITE STRIPES AHEAD OF VEHICLE). APPEARS THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSY.. THE PLACEMENT OF THE BULB IS EITHER TOO DEEP OR TOO HIGH AND THE TOP OF THE ASSY. IS BLOCKING FROM A HIGHER PROJECTION ANGLE. HIGH BEAM PROJECTION IS GOOD. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THEY HAVE HAD OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS BUT NO ADJUSTMENTS HAVE HELPED. THEY HAD NO SUGGESTION FOR REMEDY. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND ANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE HAS NOW LOST POWER 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. BOTH OCCASIONS HAVE BEEN RIGHT AFTER LEAVING MY RESIDENCE. THE MAIN ROAD BY MY HOUSE IS A HIGHWAY WHERE VEHICLES TRAVEL ANYWHERE BETWEEN 55-70MPH. THE POWER IS LOST WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND AT ABOUT 20MPH MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE(KEEP IN MIND I HAD VEHICLES TRAVELING AT THE MUCH FASTER RATE OF SPEED AS STATED ABOVE). I ENDED UP PULLING ONTO THE GRASS MEDIAN. PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON. ALL SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. THE SECOND TIME I WAS AT THE STOP SIGN AT THE SAME HIGHWAY GETTING READY TO CROSS TO THE CENTER MEDIAN TO TURN LEFT. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IMMEDIATELY MY CAR STOP AND MESSAGES ABOUT A BRAKE SERVICE AND SERVICE TRANS STARTED FLASHING ON MY CONSOLE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. ALL WAS FINE AFTER THAT. WHAT CONCERNS AND TERRIFIES ME IS WHAT IF I HAD LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTIONS WITH VEHICLES COMING TOWARD ME AT 70 MPH? THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THE ISSUE IS FIXED. I'M TAKING MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND INSISTING IT EITHER BE FIXED OR THEY GIVE A LOANER. I WILL NOT PUT ME OR MY FAMILY AT RISK.

DRIVER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE R24 FOR CHRYSLER (NHSTA 15V-470)IN THE MAIL DURING THE WEEK OF 9/28/15 - 10/2/15. ON 10/5/15, WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH, CAR JERKED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES LATER AT 65MPH, CAR JERKED AGAIN, SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, AND "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE SCREEN NEXT TO SPEEDOMETER. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM (CONCERNING THE RECALLED PART) CAUSED POWER TO THE VEHICLE TO CEASE AND DRIVER WAS FORCED TO COAST TO SHOULDER OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY (IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THROUGH WEIGH STATION ENTRANCE RAMP). CAR WAS COMPLETELY OFF WITH NO BATTERY POWER AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL. WHILE STOPPED, DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE (IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING OVER) WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER 10 MINUTES AND A FEW PHONE CALLS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS USUAL (MAX 45MPH, STILL ON INTERSTATE, STILL RUSH HOUR). THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALMOST BEING REAR-ENDED TWICE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED DRIVER WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A COMPLIMENTARY RENTAL ONLY IF THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT AS A RECALL DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER'S "REP" WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN FACT DUE TO THE RECALLED PART, AND A RENTAL WAS OBTAINED. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP'S CAR REPAIR PARKING LOT FOR OVER TWO WEEKS, WITH NO REPLACEMENT PART/REPAIR ON ITS WAY.
