ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CRUISE CONTROL HAS A SHORT. IF I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ON THE CRUISE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND USUALLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON ABOUT ONE YEAR.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE. PRESSING ON BRAKES DID NOT HELP. LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY, AND EVEN ON CITY STREETS. WOULD REGAIN CONTROL AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, BUT THEN THE LIGHT WOULD TURN BACK ON AND CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT FORWARD, IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY (TWO LANES IN EITHER DIRECTION). A CAR TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, LOST CONTROL AND CROSSED THE HIGHWAY, STRIKING MY CAR'S FRONT END. MY CAR RECEIVED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED, AS WAS THE OTHER CAR. I WAS DRIVING AND MY WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE WERE BOTH WEARING OUR SEAT BELTS. AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT, NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, NOR DID THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS ACTIVATE (LOCKING THE SEAT BELTS IN PLACE), CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO BOTH OF US, REQUIRING HOSPITAL ADMITTANCE IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, FOR MYSELF. POLICE TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT, PHOTOS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE IF REQUIRED, IN THE FUTURE. ALSO, I JUST RECEIVED A RE-CALL NOTICE, DATED OCTOBER 1, 2016.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER WAS CAUSING A LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE FOR 2-5 MONTHS. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT I OWN AND I HAVE A CHILD RIDING WITH ME. I DRIVE AT LEAST 50 MILES PER DAY AND I FELT UNSAFE DRIVING KNOWING THIS ABOUT MY VEHICLE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. IF THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH I FEEL AS IF THEY NEED TO OFFER A OPTION FOR THE VEHICLE OWNERS WHO USE THIS VEHICLE AS THEIR DAILY DRIVER. I FEEL AS IF THEY ARE NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER AND I IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION THE VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS. THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD AND THE TACHOMETER JUMPS OVER 6 RPM. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH NO CLEAR IDEA FROM THE TECHNICIANS AS TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT SPENT TWO WEEKS AND THEIR TECHS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT A "BLACK BOX" RECORDING DEVICE BE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEVICE IS CUMBERSOME AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO DRIVERS WHO MUST TRY TO PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE DEVICE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN IT WAS GIVEN BACK. ON THE THIRD TRIP TO THE DEALER, THE BLACK BOX INFO WAS RELAYED TO CHRYSLER AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL SITING THERE AFTER A WEEK AND CHRYSLER TECHS HAVE ISSUED A DO NOT LET THE CUSTOMER BACK IN THE VEHICLE ORDER. BASICALLY, CHRYSLER HAS SEIZED MY VEHICLE, TO WHICH I AM STILL PAYING FOR, AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS THEREFORE CANNOT FIX IT. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH CHRYSLER CORP.
