SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ROUGHLY 30 DAYS AGO WITH ONLY 4 MILES ON IT AT TIME OF PURCHASE. AT 800 MILES I BEGAN HEARING NOISES COMING FROM THE BRAKES. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTED AND SERVICED THE VEHICLE, THEY COULD FIND NO ISSUES OR ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AT 1100 MILES, THE BRAKES WERE STILL MAKING NOISE AND FINALLY OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES LOCKED UP ON ME NEARLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURRED AFTERWARDS ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS, ONCE WHILE DRIVING AS AND AGAIN ANOTHER TIME WHEN SWITCHING OUT OF REVERSE. I ALSO NOTICED AT TIMES THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD GONE NEARLY TO THE FLOOR, WHICH WAS ALSO OF CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE NOW HAD A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHATSOEVER. I WILL BE FILING A CLAIM FOR LEMON LAW, AS I HAVE NOT EVEN MADE MY FIRST CAR PAYMENT YET. PLEASE ENSURE OUR SAFETY BY REVIEWING THIS ISSUE AND RECALLING ANY VEHICLES AFFECTED, AS THIS WILL SURELY CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT RESOLUTION BEING PROVIDED.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
TAKATA RECALL, THIS NEW CAR IS A 2016 200S WITH5000 MILES. THIS CAR CAUSED A ACCIDENT ON 02/09/16 WHEN THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP AT 50 MILES AN HOUR. SENDING THE DRIVER INTO A LIGHT POLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT THE POLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FROM THE STEERING. THE AIR BAGS OVER ALL DOORS DID DEPLOY AND THE AIR BAGS ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT DID DEPLOY BUT NEVER THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG. THE BRAKES ARE FAULTY AND HAVE GONE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. BY PUMPING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE WOULD WORK. WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED THE DRIVER PRESSED THE BRAKE TO TURN A CORNER BUT RATHER THAN THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN THE BRAKES LOCKED DOWN IN FRONT AND SENT THE VEHICLE ACROSS THE ROAD INTO A LIGHT POLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR WHILE BACKING UP MADE AN AWFUL NOISE FROM DAY 1. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS NORMAL. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST NEW BRAKES THAT HAD TO BE BROKEN IN. THEN I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE MY BACK BRAKES WERE LOCKED AND WOULDN'T RELEASE. LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF I HIT THE E BRAKE, THAT WAS NEVER THE CASE. THE BRAKES IN REAR HAVE LOCKED UP SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT WAS BACKING UP AND PUTTING IT IN DRIVE. I HAD A 2015 WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND WAS REPLACED BY THE LEMON LAW WITH A 2016 AND NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. DEALER OPENED START CASE WITH CHRYSLER BUT CURRENTLY HAS NO FIX FOR THESE CARS. DEALER ALSO STATED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE ROTORS/BREAKS CAUSES THE SQUEALING/LOCKING NOISE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE THE BREAK DECIDE TO LOCK UP OR NOT WORK, CURRENTLY WAITING FOR MORE "REPAIRS".
