ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HEATER CORE BLEW IN THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT IF I'D STILL BEEN DRIVING, THE FLUID THAT DISPELLED WOULD HAVE BURNT MY LEGS AND FEET AS I WAS WEARING SHORTS AND FLIP-FLOPS. THIS INCIDENT WAS FURTHER EXASPERATED BY THE FACT THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN IN & OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP (PRESTIGE IN LAS VEGAS) MARCH, APRIL, MAY & JUNE OF 2014 FOR SEVERAL ISSUES AND A LOT OF THEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH TEMPERATURE SENSORS, GAUGES, WATER LEAKAGE, ETC. I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ALL THAT HAD HAPPENED WITH THE CAR DURING THOSE TIMES. AT ONE POINT, THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 33 DAYS TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM!! HAVING THE HEATING CORE WHERE IT IS AND HAVING IT BLOW THE HOT FLUID OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM UNDER THE DASH IS THE MOST LUDICROUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR OR I'M SURE I WOULD HAVE HAD 3RD DEGREE BURNS FROM MY KNEES DOWN OR WORSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WE ARE HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION KEY WHEN YOU START THE CAR. IT TAKE 5-10 SECOND FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND AND START THE CAR. ON AUGUST 16,2014 WE TOOK THE CAR TO CARL BURGERS DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THEY SAID THE ISSUE IS WITH THE KEY AND NEW KEY IS NEED TO BE PURCHASED AT 226.66 SO WE DID. AFTER THE SERVICE WAS DONE 24 HOURS AFTER WE STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/27/2014 CONCERNING A RECALL CURRENTLY HAVE ON CHRYSLER VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THIS CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THAN I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER COMPANY ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS AND THERE RESPOND WAS YOU CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THEY MIGHT EXPAND THE RECALL TO DIFFERENT MODEL WHICH WILL INCLUDE YOUR VEHICLE. SO AS A CONSUMER WHAT DO WE DO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ALL THESE FAULTS AND TAKE RISK FOR OUR FAMILY'S BECAUSE CHRYSLER DON'T HAVE THE PEOPLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
