SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS STOPPED ON A STREET THAT WAS A STEEP HILL CHECKING MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WENT TO GO UP THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL. CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. NO WARNING ON DASHBOARD EVER ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH PUMP THEM UP. WENT UP DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
FIRST MY WIPER FLUID WOULD NOT SPRAY, WHICH CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN, ONE DAY I WENT TO PUT MY TURN SIGNAL ON AND MY WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF FROM THAT MOMENT FORWARD. IT WAS NOT RAINING AND THE WIPERS WERE NOT ON ALREADY. MY CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PARKED ON A SUBURBAN STREET. I WAS ADVISED IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THE RIBBON IN THE CONTROL ARM. I HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENTS, BUT I ALSO CANNOT DRIVE AT ALL IF IT'S RAINING. I HAD MY FRIEND CUT THE POWER FROM THE MOTOR B/C OF COURSE NO FUSE. MY WIPERS WOULDN'T STOP MOVING AND THEN THEY STARTED STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING WHICH BECAME EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT'S EXTREMELY COSTLY TO FIX.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I HAD THE MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, HE ADVISED THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM.. SO MY CAR SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY LEAKS GASOLINE. THIS STARTED THE SAME TIME AS THE WIPERS, AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, AND THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. HAS TO BE RELATED OR AN AFFECT OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON BACK IN APRIL 2018, BEFORE THE RECALL WITH THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN THAT HAPPENED I KNEW I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR BEFORE I COULD ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. THEN THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. NOW THE LIGHT ALWAYS STAYS ON ALONG WITH THE ABS SENSOR LIGHT. MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR IS ALSO BAD AND KEEPS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

POWER TRAIN
MY CLUTCH HAS WENT OUT FOR THE 3RD TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT APPEARS THAT EVERY 2 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST YEAR I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. IT ISN'T COVERED BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS WEAR AND TEAR. WHEN I WENT ONLINE I FOUND THAT MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS. THIS CAR WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND THE COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THE CLUTCH WAS APPARENTLY DESIGNED TO STAY ENGAGED WHICH WEARS IT OUT WITHOUT THE USER DOING ANYTHING. 2 TIMES IT HAS WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET ONCE WHILE TRYING TO TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS CRAZY AND I SHOULD PROBABLY BE FILED UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE AGAINST CHRYSLER

POWER TRAIN
CLUTCH PEDAL GETS STUCK CLOSE TO THE FLOOR UPON START UP AND CLUTCH MAY NOT RE-ENGAGE WHEN UP SHIFTING. HAPPENED ON A BUSY CITY STREET AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, AS THE SECOND OWNER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND THE TIME OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ALTHOUGH I AM STILL UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS NOT JUST DRIVER ERROR WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED SUMMER OF 2019 IF I HAD BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED. INSTEAD IT WAS NOT UNTIL SEPT 27 2020 WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL STARTED STICKING THAT I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE INFO OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN. 4 DEALERSHIPS HAD MY CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND NONE OF THEM MENTIONED THIS EITHER.

BUSHING ON THE SHIFT CABLE OF THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION COMES LOOSE. CAR CANNOT BE SHIFTED. THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT BUT COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. BASICALLY, THE CAR REMAINS STUCK IN ONE GEAR. NOTE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT NOT THE MANUAL. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.
