ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. DRIVING VEHICLE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS UP AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. 1ST TIME - JULY 2015, THIS HAPPENED COMING INTO A ROUNDABOUT - LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING AND BRAKES. WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND. DEALER REPLACED TIPM. SAME THING HAPPENED LESS THAN 1 YEAR LATER (APRIL 2016). IN A PARKING LOT AND VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. DEALER REPLACED TIPM AGAIN STATING PART FAILURE - UNDER WARRANTY SINCE WAS LESS THAN 1 YEAR SINCE REPLACEMENT. NOW LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER ON 12/26/17 VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY! WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF 4 AND ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOOK TO DEALER THAT PURCHASED FROM (HAPPENED CLOSER TO THAT DEALER THAN THE ONE THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD FIXED). EXPLAINED SITUATION, THAT PART WAS REPLACED BEFORE SAME THING HAPPENING. THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG, COULDNT FIND ANYTHING AND SENT ME ON MY WAY - DROVE BACK ROADS BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE. NOT EVEN 30 MILES LATER AND SAME THING HAPPENED. SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE EVERY TIME. TOOK TO DEALER THAT HAD FIXED IN THE PAST. TIPM FAILURE AGAIN! THIS IS 3 TIMES THAT THE PART HAS FAILED. COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AGAIN - THEY SAID PART WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED FROM 1 TO 2 YEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND DEFINATELY A SAFETY HAZARD!! I GOT THE CAR FIXED AND TRADED IT IN THE DAY I GOT IT BACK! 3RD FAILURE WAS AT 113K MILES. CAR PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2012.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM DINNER MY HUSBANDS HEAT STOPPED WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. OHIO WINTERS A VERY COLD. DEFROST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WORKING BUST THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT. WITHIN MINUTES OF DRIVING THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD FROSTED OVER MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE GO SEE. IT WAS UNBEARABLE BEING IN THE VEHICLE IT WAS SO COLD. WE HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND WITH A WIND CHILL IN THE NEGATIVE DIGITS THERE IS RISK FOR FROST BITE. THEY ARE MY BIGGEST CONCERN HOWEVER WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE A 35 MINUTE DRIVE TURNED INTO OVER AN HOUR BECAISE OF POOR VISIBILITY. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL YET. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE IS DANGEROUS AND BEING IN A FREEZING CAR FOR OVER AN HOUR IS DANGEROUS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE ISN'T ANY HEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE . THE DEALER SAID THE HEATER CORE AND THE RADIATOR ALSO THE THERMOSTAT' S . THE SAID THAT CHRYSLER PUTS IN A CHEMICAL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO FILL IN ANY PIN HOLES AND NOW A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER IT BECOMES SLUDGE AND CLOGS UP THE HEATER CORE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND NOW I HAVE A $2900 BILL THAT I HAVE TO PAY. IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR CHRYSLER TO DO THAT TO THE PUBLIC AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

ENGINE
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON A TRIP FROM BELLEVUE, OHIO TO FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. AROUND 300 MILES ROUND TRIP, GIVE OR TAKE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL BEFORE WE LEFT AND IT WAS FINE. NO PROBLEMS ON THE RIDE THERE. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 3-4 HOURS WE WERE LEAVING THE PARK, GOING DOWN A HILL WITH A CURVE AT THE BOTTOM AND THE CAR JUST DIES. NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE ALMOST HIT A CAMPER. THE ONLY THING THAT STILLED WORKED WAS THE RADIO. THE CAR FINALLY STOPS ON ITS OWN. MY HUSBAND PUTS IT IN PARKING AND CHECKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. WHEN HE TRUE TO START THE BACK UP, IT STRUGGLES THE FIRST TWO TRIES. THE THIRD TIME IT TURNED OVER. NO LIGHTS ON DASH TO EXPLAIN THE STALL. WE NERVOUSLY DRIVE THE CAR ALL THE WAY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR OVER NIGHT. WE GO IN TO PICK UP OUR CAR AND THEY TELL US THAT THEY HAD TO PUT 3 3/4 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT BEING LOW ON OIL CAUSED THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS FEATURE. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE OUR CAR HAD OVER 50,000 IT WILL BURN THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES..SERIOUSLY. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE US 75 DOLLARS FOR LABOR, WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR OUR CAR. ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE IT DOES STATE THAT OUR CAR WILL CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 750 MILES. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. MY DAD IS A RETIRED MECHANIC OF 45 YEARS AND HES BEYOND OUTRAGED THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. AT 80 AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR SOMEONE THAT TRAVELS A LOT, THAT'S RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? MIND BLOWN BY THIS.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SEIZES. IT HAPPENED AT 3,500 MILES (DEALERSHIP STATED BLOWN FUSE) AND AGAIN AT 12,500 MILES. I AM DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPS AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. IT IS A SUDDEN STOP AND WILL CAUSE A CRASH AND INJURIES. I WILL NOT GET BACK INTO THAT CAR! BOTH TIMES, IT WAS AT 25 MILES PER HOUR, JUST STARTING BACK AFTER A STOP SIGN.
