SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WERE IN LITTLE BUT REALLY SCARED ACCIDENT WITH MY ALMOST NEW CHRYSLER. IN VERY SLOW TRAFFIC (5-7 MILES/HOUR) WHEN I TRIED TO COME HOME AFTER WORK MEETING FROM KIRKLAND SUDDENLY I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES DON'T WANNA STOP THE CAR WITH LIGHT TAPPING AS IT WAS OK PREVIOUSLY, THEN TAPPED ON BRAKE HARDER AND THEN PANIC AND REALIZED THE BRAKE. I END UP WITH HANG ON THE TAIL (THE LITTLE THING ATTACHED TO THE REAR END OF THE CAR) OF BIG TRACK. I TRIED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT BRAKES PROBLEM TO MY INSURANCE, BUT COLLISION REPAIR COMPANY DID NOT CONFIRM MY CONCERNS AND I PAID $1000 DEDUCTIBLE AS THE DRIVER IN FAULT (IN THE FUTURE IT WILL AFFECT MY MONTHLY PAY FOR INSURANCE). I TRIED TO FIND THE SOLUTION BUT ONLY MY FAMILY CAN SUPPORT ME WITHOUT LAUGHING AT MY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SAFETY. ONE OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME, THAT I NEED TO INVOLVE SOME OF AN INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL AND STOP TRYING TALK TO THE WALL. CHRYSLER ALREADY TOOK AN ADVANTAGE OF MY NOT FAIR PURCHASE AND THEN MY TRADE-IN WITH THEM (MY DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE MY PREVIOUS CHRYSLER 200 FOR SAFETY REASON AGAIN!!! AND SOLD TO ME MY CURRENT CHRYSLER FOR $43,000 AND IT'S NOT SAFE STILL!!!). IN ADDITIONAL, I SCARED WITH THE NOISE PRODUCING BY THE CAR WHILE I'M DRIVING: THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT'S GOING DOWN OF THE HILL AND WINDOWS OR SOMETHING LIKE WINDOWS SHAKING NOISE. FRANKLY SAYING, I HAVE VERY UPSETTING EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND START LOOKING FOR THE SECOND OPINION WITH TREATING ME AS THE FAIR AND PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS IN THE OPTIONS TO KEEP MY LIFE SAFE SINCE I HAVE A STRONG FEELING, THAT I'M NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY CHRYSLER. THANK YOU! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 200, 2013 FROM MANHATTAN CHRYSLER. THIS CAR IS A LEMON IT HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCK AT RANDOM. I TOOK THE CAR TO MANHATTAN CHRYSLER FOR REPAIR WHEN IT ONLY HAD 21,000MI. THEY RECOGNIZED THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AFTER THE SECOND VISIT. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THE BRAKE ARE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER THEY REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T PERFORM THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO SLIP IN SECOND GEAR. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER, NOW THE FOURTH TIME IN REPAIR. AT THIS POINT, I WAS DIRECTED TO THE RECONSIDERATION DEPT. THEY OFFERED AS COMPENSATION A ONE TIME CAR PAYMENT OF $493.13'I WAS ABSOLUTELY INSULTED BECAUSE I PAID $39.505.00 WITH FINANCE CHARGES. I SOUGHT LEGAL HELP BUT THEY WEREN'T MUCH HELP. I WAS TOLD BY LEMON LAW ATTY. THAT LITIGATION WOULD TAKE 2 YRS. AND I MAY NOT EVEN RECEIVE $4,000.00. CHRYSLER, TOTALLY DISREGARDED MY ATTORNEY AND WOULD NOT CORRESPONDED TO ANY PHONE CALLS OR LETTER ON MY BEHALF FROM THE ATTY. I AM A VETERAN AND I AM TOTALLY DISABLED WITH A SEVERE BACK INJURY AND I USE A CANE TO WALK BECAUSE I FALL OFTEN. MY MOM RECENTLY HAD A SEVERE STROKE SHE IS NOW IN REHAB 45MIN. AWAY AND I DON'T HAVE TRANSPORT ION TO GO CHECK ON HER. I VOLUNTARILY SURRENDER MY VEHICLE TO THE FINANCE CO. NOW MY CREDIT REPORT REFLEX A $16,000.00. DEFAULT FOR THE LEMON I PURCHASE AT CHRYSLER. PLEASE HELP!

MY VEHICLE HAS NO HEAT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS. THE HEATER CORE IS PARTLY PLUGGED. I WORKED FOR CHRYSLER AS A MECHANIC UP UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE PERSONALLY RUN INTO THIS SAME ISSUE WITH CUSTOMER CARS AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER TECHS. CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR DUE TO IT NOW BEING OUT OF BASIC WARRANTY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS FOR BRAKE SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND LURCHES WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS NOW CAUSED THREE ACCIDENTS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SUDDENLY GO TO THE FLOOR, AND LOSE ALL BRAKING POWER. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ONE MAJOR COLLISION. DEALERS HAVE "FIXED" THE ISSUES BUT THEY RETURN. PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY ACTIVATES ON ITS OWN, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK AND A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THIS LAST OCCURENCE THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN, CAUSING US TO SKID INTO A DITCH WHILE TRAVELLING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BATTERY AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US AFTER CHARGING US BECAUSE THE BATTERY APPARENTLY ISNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. THE HAVE REPLACED EVERY MAJOR COMPONENT OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT CANNOT GET THE CARS BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. CHRYSLER EITHER HAS NO COMMENT OR DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WENT TO A STORE WITH A HEAVILY SLOPED PARKING LOT. APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 DEGREES. PARKED CAR AND WENT IN SIDE, RETURNED TO THE CAR, STARTED, AND PLACED CAR IN REVERSE, LOOKED BEHIND ME FOR PEDESTRIANS AND NOTICE SOME PEOPLE DOWN A LITTLE WAYS.. PROCEEDED TO CAREFULLY PULL OUT OF THE SLOPPING PARKING SPACE IN REVERSE. APPLIED SLIGHT PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFTED CAR INTO DRIVE. REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO APPLY FOOT TO GAS PEDAL WITH A LITTLE MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL DUE TO THE SLOP, TO KEEP CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS.. THE CAR KEEP ROLLING IN REVERSE DUE TO THE DECLINING SLOP OF THE PARKING LOT. CAR DID NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO HIGH RPMS AND IF NOT FOR A FAST REACTION FROM ME RETURNING MY FOOT TO BRAKE AFTER REALIZING WHAT WAS GOING ON, I COULD OF EASILY RAN INTO THE PEOPLE THAT I NOTICED EARLIER. NOT GOOD! WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO STOP THE CAR, THE CAR WENT INTO GEAR AND THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. THE PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT WERE ALSO STARTLED. THIS IS THE PRIMARY CAR FOR MY WIFE AND I ASKED HER IF THE CAR HAS NOT GONE INTO GEAR BEFORE. TO MY ASTONISHMENT SHE SAID ONCE. THIS CAR NOW SITS IN THE GARAGE AWAITING THE CHRYSLER DEALER TO PICK IT UP 27,997 MILES. THIS KIND OF PROBLEM COULD EASILY DO HARMFUL BODILY INJURY TO A PEDESTRIANS OR MY WIFE. .
