POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHIFTS FROM AWD TO 4 LOCK OR 4 LOW. USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. TRANSFER CASE MAY ALSO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. WHEN BACKING OR TURNING SHARPLY, AS IN PARKING, IS THE MOST LIKELY TIME OF OCCURRENCE. TRANSFER CASE ALSO SHIFTS WHEN USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND PARKED. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND WAS UNABLE TO GET TO TRAFFIC SPEED DUE TO RANDOM SHIFT TO LOW RANGE. VEHICLE HAS ALSO SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AFTER PARKING, CAUSING IT TO ROLL ON SLIGHTLY INCLINED DRIVEWAY, NEARLY DRAGGING ME AND/OR STRIKING MY CHILDREN WHO WERE IN THE DRIVEWAY.

AIR BAGS
STILL WAITING ON THE LETTER FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE RECALL... CALLED THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND THEY WANT TO KEEP MY CAR ALL DAY. THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS, COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN PUMPING GAS IF I DO NOT STOP BEFORE TANK IS FULL, THE PUMP WILL STOP AND WHEN I PULL OUT OF TANK, GAS ERUPTS OUT OF GAS CAP. IT DOES NOT LEAK, IT SPRAYS AND OVERFLOWS CRAZY. FOR AWHILE IT WAS NOT ALL THE TIME, NOW IT DOES IT CONSISTENTLY AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHECKED AND PURCHASED NEW GAS CAPS SINCE THAT WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS ISSUE, IT STILL DOES. CHECK ENGINE WILL BE ON AS WELL AS GAS CAP MESSAGE IN ODOMETER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I JUST KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TURNING SIGNAL MODULE. THE TURN SIGNAL HESITATES AT TIMES AND THEN THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL WILL COME ON OR NO SIGNAL AT ALL. SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT BUT CLEARLY THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM FOR THIS TO KEEP HAPPENING. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY SIGNALS ALSO, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. BEFORE I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AGAIN IT WOULD BE NICE FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE GAS IF SHOOTING BACK ON ME. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND HAD TO GO HOME AND CHANGE BECAUSE I HAD GAS ALL OVER ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO DRY CLEAN MY CLOTHING. IT IS ALSO A HAZARD AND I AM NOT PLEASED AT ALL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK, APPROX. ONE GALLON OF GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT. I GET COVERED IN GASOLINE, ALONG WITH THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND, CAUSING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. ANY TYPE OF SPARK COULD CAUSE ME TO GO ON FIRE, AS WELL AS THE CAR AND FUELING STATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE PERSONALLY VIEWED THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE WAITING TO FOLLOW ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO DRIVE, AT WHICH POINT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CEASED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO, WHICH WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED RUNNING. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL ACTION INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. IN SEPTEMBER, I HAD STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO START IT, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT MOVE, AS THOUGH I HAD AN INCORRECT KEY. AGAIN, SOMEHOW ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE KEY TURNED. THERE IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OCCURRING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
ROUNDING CORNER WHEN STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP; NOT ALLOWING ME TO TURN VEHICLE TO MAKE CURVE. RAN THROUGH FIELD INTO ELECTRICAL BOX. ALMOST RAN IN TO HOUSE. FORTUNATELY, MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER IS AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY TO ENSURE HIS SAFETY. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FOR MY 15 YEAR OLD SON TO DRIVE WHEN HE GETS HIS LICENSE. LUCKILY, HE WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR AS HE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE TO HANDLE THIS ACCIDENT WITHOUT FATALLY INJURING HIMSELF AND/OR OTHERS. I FOUND A RECALL NOTICE ON THESE VEHICLES AFTER THE ACCIDENT; WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL (ACTUALLY, NO RECALL AT ALL - WHAT?). THE ENGINE SOUNDS LOUD AND WHINY (FAN SOUNDING) AND THE RUNNING BOARD WAS PARTIALLY BROKEN OFF, AS WELL AS A SMALL DENT IN THE PASSENGER DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE). CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING AT ALL - REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. WHERE DO I TURN? *TR
