I WAS DRIVING TO MY RESIDENCE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THE TOW SERVICE HAD TO CALL THE DEALER TO GET THE CAR REBOOTED AND TURNED OFF, AS IT WAS STILL RUNNING. THIS HAPPENED IN CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND I WAS LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM REPORTING THIS AS IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST THREE DAYS. THE FIRST TIME WAS SUNDAY THE 17TH IF MARCH AND AGAIN ON THE 19TH OF MARCH 2019. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, (HILL- KELLY CHRYSTLER, DODGE, JEEP PENSACOLA, FL. (XXXX).

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD TOOK MY CAR TO CHRYSLER IN BIDDEFORD IN MAY 2017 C/O THAT MY E-BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING MY CAR. ONCE I GOT THE CAR BACK I COULD HARDLY LIFT THE BRAKE. I WENT BACK IN AND ASKED WHY IT WAS THAT WAY, THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD LOOSEN UP AS I USE IT. I USED THE BRAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AND IT WENT UP ABOUT AN INCH. THE NEXT TIME I USED IT WAS IN FEBRUARY AND WHEN I PULLED UP ON THE BRAKE LEVEL IT WENT STRAIGHT UP. I CALLED AND LEFT NUMEROUS VM. NO ONE CALLED ME BACK. I WENT BACK IN ON A SATURDAY FOR MY OIL CHANGE. I TALKED TO A REP THERE AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD LEAVE A NOTE FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK ON MONDAY. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO MAKE AN APPT FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. ONCE THEY FOUND OUT I NO LONGER HAD THE B TO B WARRANTY THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $500. I CALLED AND LEFT A MSG FOR THE GM AND I GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE SALES MANAGER WANTING ME TO TRADED MY CAR IN. I STATED TO HIM I THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING ABOUT THE BRAKE. HE STATED TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL PUT IT ON THE LIFT WHILE I TALK TO SALES. THE REP CAME BACK AND STATED DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. MADE AN APPT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR AND THEY ORDERED A PART FOR MY CAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO BE LOOKED AT BILL DODGE AND THEY STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT MY CALIPERS WHERE STICKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY STATED I NEEDED ONE OF MY CALIPERS CHANGED. I STATED I JUST CHANGED ONE THIS SUMMER MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT ONE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND TOOK MY CAR TO MY FRIEND IN NH. HIS MECHANIC AGAIN STATED THAT MY BRAKE WAS NOT FIXED AND THAT THE E-BRAKE IS CAUSING THE CALIPERS TO STICK. I GOT MY CAR BACK AND A WEEK LATER (03/01/2019) I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A CAR HIT MY DRIVER'S DOOR DOING ABOUT 35+. MY AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. I HAVE 4 AIRBAGS AND NOT ONE WENT OFF. OTHER CARS DID.

MY CAR WAS PARKED. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUSHED THE BRAKE, MY SHIFTER WOULD CHANGE TO DIFFERENT GEARS ON THE LIGHTED DISPLAY BUT WOULD NOT ACTUALLY GO INTO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE. MY CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. UPON EXAMINATION FROM A MECHANIC MY SHIFTER CABLE WAS LOOSE AND THIS HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE UPON ONLINE RESEARCH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT PART OF MY WARRANTY. THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS WAS TO COME LOOSE UPON MY DAILY COMMUTE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IF MY VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM THANKFUL THIS TIME I WAS IN PARK,

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FEW TEST THEY DETERMINE THAT DUE TO LOW OIL CONSUMPTION THE CAR HAS A SENSOR THAT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. DURING ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION IN WHICH THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHICH LEAD ME TO SLOWLY ROLL INTO THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT. LUCKILY IT WAS MORNING RUSH HOUR SO NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS

I HAVE FELT SLIPS IN THE TRANSMISSION LATELY BUT YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST WENT TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE DASH DISPLAYED WORDS SAYING SERVICE NEEDED ON TRANSMISSION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN, IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS A BLOCK AWAY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. AM I COVERED ON THIS?
