TODAY, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A WALMART PARKING LOT ON TO A BUSY ROAD WHERE CARS GO ABOUT 50-55MPH. I HAD MY 15 YR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. I STARTED TO PULL OUT INTO THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CAR WENT FROM DRIVING, TO FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED IN TO NEUTRAL. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST SCARY SITUATIONS AS CARS WERE COMING AT ME, AND ALL I COULD DO IS COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, WITH JUST OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT ABOUT 6 WEEKS. MY HUSBAND IS A DISABLED MILITARY WAR VETERAN. WE HAD TO SAVE AND SAVE TO PURCHASE THIS CAR. WE NEEDED SOMETHING RELIABLE. WE HAVE TEENAGERS WHO ALSO DRIVE. NOW WE ARE ALL TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR; IT COULD BE DEADLY IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY OR A BUSY ROAD AND THE CAR DOES THIS AGAIN. I TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN TONIGHT, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. I HATE THE FEELING THAT THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS; WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO HAPPEN WHEN PURCHASING A NEW CAR.

THE FIRST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR IMMEDIATELY. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE CAR RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE BEFORE THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN. I RESTARTED IT AGAIN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND PARKED IT. I DROVE IT HOME 3 HOURS LATER AND IT APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY COULD NOT "RE-CREATE" THE INCIDENT SO THEY GAVE ME THE CAR BACK. I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS TIME I WAS IN THE CITY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY HAVE STATED A RE-CALL WAS DONE ON IT AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED. THE RECALL THEY STATED THAT WAS DONE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE SO IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME IF THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY FIXED OR NOT.

I WAS PICKING UP MY BROTHER FROM THE STORE AND MY CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF. I THEN RESTARTED IT WHICH TOOK 3 TIMES AND IT FINALLY TURNED OVER AND STARTED. I THEN MADE IT ABOUT 15 MIN DOWN THE FREEWAY TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER AND LEFT MY BROTHER IN THE RUNNING CAR ONLY TO RETURN TO THE CAR BEING OFF. I TRIED OVER 6 TIMES TO RESTART IT AND IT CHOKED THEN TOLD ME ENGINE WARMING TRY AGAIN LATER AND SHUT OFF. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO THEN TOWED IT BACK. AFTER A WEEK OF HAVING IT THEY DECIDED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND GAVE IT BACK, HOWEVER I DON'T THINK THEY FIXED IT BECAUSE ON 6/27/15 I HAD YET ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL THAT CAUSE MY ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE TO QUIT ON ME AND CONTINUE TO REBOOT ITSELF AND FREEZE ALL WHILE SHOWING THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN WHILE I WAS CLEARLY GOING FORWARD FOR MILES.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON I-64 IN VA, THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN INCLINE AFTER LEAVING THE TUNNEL AND CROSSING THE BRIDGE , EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR FELT AS IF I WAS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. IT STARTED TO DO IT CONSTANTLY AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTING FLASHING ALL SORTS OF ERROR MESSAGES AND COMPLETELY LOCKING UP. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE GRASS TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. UNFORTUNATELY THE BUTT OF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL PARTLY IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR DECIDED TO RESTART TO PULL THE REST OF THE WAY OFF OF THE ROAD. I WAITED SOME MORE TIME TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AGAIN, AT LEAST TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT BEFORE IT STARTED LOCKING UP AGAIN. AT THIS POINT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD JUST SHAKE AND STAY IN RUN, SEVERAL TIMES IT DID THIS AND WOULDN'T LET ME SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO SHUT IT OFF AND WAIT FOR TOWING TO COME. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I HOPE CHRYSLER IS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT CHOOSES TO SHUT OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO....UPDATED 08/06/15 *BF

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 9 MILES, IT DROVE HOME PERFECTLY. THE NEXT DAY I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS NOT ON AN INCLINE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE I LET OFF OF THE BRAKE AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHOT BACKWARDS BEFORE I COULD EVEN PRESS THE GAS. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES! I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME FLUKE BUT SURE ENOUGH ABOUT A WEEK LATER I STARTED NOTICING UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION DURING BRAKING AS WELL AS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW BUT NOT SURE IF I CAN HER THERE OR NOT AS I NOTICED A VERY LOUD SOUND TODAY WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS SEVERAL ISSUES THAT NEED ADDRESSED AND FAST!

9 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES. UPSHIFTS 2 TO 3 ARE HARSH AND SOMETIMES SLAMS IN AFTER WAITING TOO LONG TO SHIFT. WORST, THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ACCELERATES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DOWNSHIFTING FROM 5 TO 4 (NO FOOT ON THE THROTTLE). THIS IS REPEATABLE CONSISTENTLY. SEVERAL TIMES NOW DURING QUICK STOPS (I.E. SOMEONE WALKS OUT ON THE ROAD) THE VEHICLE HAD A BURST OF ACCELERATION WHILE HARD BRAKING. DEALER ADVISES NOTHING THEY CAN DO - CHRYSLER REP TOLD THEM TO TELL CUSTOMERS "THIS IS NORMAL". UNFORTUNATELY THE UNEXPECTED BURST OF ACCELERATION IS NOT REPEATABLE WHEN NEEDED. VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHECKED FOR RECALL AND HAS GONE THROUGH 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. . THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE!

I WAS DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE AT ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN THE CAR JERKED THEN BOUNCED 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE SLOWED AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN PSRK BUT THE D WAS FLASHING AS IF IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WARNING LIGHT WERE ALSO FLASHING. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AN DRIVE TO WORK. SINCE THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ALWAYS TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS.
