EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS: AT NIGHT 1. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO WEAK 2. HIGH BEAM DOES NOT ADD MUCH TO THE ALREADY WEAK DIMMED LOW BEAM. 3. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THESE HEADLIGHTS FOR SAFETY CONCERNS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, BUT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE RUN POSITION BUT WAS NOT RUNNING. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY VIA THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND PROCEEDED TO RECONNECT IT. I HAVE POWER TO THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GAS AND TRUNK DOOR, BUT NOTHING AS FAR AS CLUSTER PANEL OR STARTER BUTTON. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED IT HOME, THE DASH AND RADIO CAME ON, I ASSUME DUE TO THE WHEELS TURNING BRINGING POWER THROUGH THE ALTERNATOR. AFTER SOME THOROUGH RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR ON THESE CARS FOR RECALL.

STEERING
IN MARCH 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A CHROMED SECTION ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PEELING BACK AND HAD CAUSED ME TO CUT MY THUMB ON IT. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND THEY ALSO CALLED ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS COSMETIC IN NATURE. I TRIED WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE WARRANTY (ZURICH) PERSONNEL AND THEY SEEMED AT FIRST AS THOUGH THEY WOULD TRY TO ASSIST AND THEN DECIDED NOT TO. I DID NOT PURSUE IT ANY FURTHER SINCE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY RIGHT HAND THUMB RAN ACROSS ANOTHER SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT PUT A CONSIDERABLE CUT IN MY THUMB. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THAT AS WELL AS THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF IN MY THUMB. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COSMETIC IN NATURE BUT REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BUT THE STEERING WHEEL HAS THE HEATED FEATURE AND I USE IT ALL THE TIME IN THE WINTER. IT DOES SEEM TO GET VERY WARM FROM THE HEAT AND I AM NOT SURE IF THAT COULD BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THAT WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AS THE CHROME PLATING CONTINUES TO PEEL AWAY. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST FROM NEGLECTFUL USE, IS VERY REAL, AND AGAIN SHOULD BE LOOKED AT FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED A QUICK REACTION TO LOOK DOWN AT MY THUMB TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND CERTAINLY DISTRACTED MY DRIVING THAT SUDDENLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED INTO FOR ME AS WELL ANY OTHER DRIVER THAT MAY HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT ABOUT 40-50 MILES AN HOUR ON A VERY BUSY STREET IN BELLEVUE WASHINGTON, A CITY HE'S NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO PARK AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. HE HAD TO THINK QUICKLY AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE WAS ABLE TO MOMENTARILY GET THE CAR IN DRIVE AND PULL OVER INTO A DRIVEWAY. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, IT WOULD REVERT BACK TO PARK REGARDLESS OF WHAT GEAR YOU SHIFTED IT INTO. WE TRIED TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT REVERTED BACK TO PARK. THIS IS THE SECOND VERY SERIOUS SITUATION I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE FUSE HAPPENS OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BUS BUT LUCKILY I WAS ALSO ABLE TO THINK QUICK ND TURN INTO A URGENT CARE PARKING LOT. IT WAS A FAULTY ALTERNATOR THAT WAS A PART OF A RECALL. I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND DO NOT WANT MY SO. TO EVER DRIVE IT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SECOND CAR FOR HIM TO DRIVE BUT ITS UNSAFE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO PAY ME OUT OF MY LOAN AS I NEVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN AND I STILL OWE $15,000 ON THIS CAR.

SUSPENSION
THE UNDER SIDE OF THE FRONT END OF THE CAR - INCLUDING ALL SUSPENSION - CONTROL ARMS/BUSHINGS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED/DRY ROTTED OUT ON THE CAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES. THIS WAS FIRST BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION AT 30,000 MILES THAT THERE WAS A TON OF RUST ON ALL THE COMPONENTS. WENT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SITUATION HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND THE COST FOR REPAIR IS OVER $1000 FOR ONE SIDE. CLEARLY WITH ALL THE PREMATURE RUST/WEAR - THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR VIBRATES SUBSTANTIALLY UNDER ANY BRAKING FORCE. FEELS LIKE THE TIRE IS GOING TO FALL OFF THE CAR. CANNOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE AT ANY RATE OF SPEED.
