VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE I HAD THREE LIGHTS TO COME ON WHICH RESULTED IN HAVING TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE A DIGANOSTIC TEST, THE OUT COME WAS THE THROTTLE POSITION CENSOR IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE FROM ANY OF MY CHRYSLER VEHICLE AND THE REPAIRMAN SAID THIS IS A DEALER DEFECT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I AM GOING THROUGH AND ORDEAL SINCE I HAVE OWNED MANY CHRYLSERS WITH NO PROBLEM.

WHEELS
AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR (WITH 22,000 MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY A NOISE WAS HEARD AND AS I ACCELERATED MORE THE NOISE GOT LOUDER, COMING FROM THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A ROAD TEST WAS COMPLETED AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT BOTH THE FRONT WHEEL HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WARRANTY COVERED THE REPAIR AND CAR RENTAL.

TAKATA RECALL WELL I GUESS I'LL JOIN IN WITH THE REST. MY 200 IS JUST ABOUT A YEAR OLD. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT. BEEN BACK TO DEALER TWICE WITH SAME PROBLEM. SPEEDS UP WHEN BRAKING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THEN WHEN ACCELERATING ENGINE DIES AND VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN....THEN SPEEDS UP. 1ST TIME THEY DOWNLOADED AN UPDATE... 2ND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG THAT THEY COULD FIND. (ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC CODES) I LIKE MY CAR.. LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY FINALLY GET A FIX FOR THIS. THIS IS ON RURAL COUNTRY ROADS MOUNTAINOUS AND HILLY. ITBIS DANGEROUS.

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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
YOUR AGENCY REPORTED HEADLAMPS ON MY MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE POOR TO MARGINAL IN TERMS OF VISION, AND IS SAFETY RELATED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY, AND HAD THE HEADLAMPS INSPECTED BY MY DEALER. DEALER, OBVIOUSLY, SAYS THEY OPERATED AS DESIGNED, BUT THE INDICATION BY NHTSA IS THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED POORLY, AND ARE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. MY 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA HEADLAMP DEPTH OF FIELD IS 30' GREATER.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE BRAKE DOESN'T WORK WELL. SOMETIMES ITS ACCELERATE BY ITS SELF. THE SPEED WHEN YOUR DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY GOES UP AND GOES DOWN BY IT SELF. YOU FEEL LIKE THERE SOMETHING SHIFTING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WHEN YOU STOP. I EVEN CRASH ONE TIME WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE STREETS BECAUSE IT ACCELERATED WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. IT WONT STOP AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL...I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AT DARCARS IN MARLOW HEIGHTS, MD AND I HAVE ALREADY PUT THE CAR IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR DIFFERENT ISSUES. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS AFTER 2 WEEKS THE ENGINE CUT OFF ON THE BELTWAY(I 95) WHILE HEADING TO THE STORE. THANK THE LORD THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SIDE LANE BUT I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 3 CARS, ALSO, 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE BECAME VERY, VERY LOUD ON THE ROAD SO I ENDED UP PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS. IT IS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE/DEALERS CAN SELL LEMONS. PLEASE HELP ME WITH ISSUE TO GET MY MONEY BACK FROM THE DEALER...$12,000 I CAN BE REACHED AT (301)613-8819. THANKS!

AIR BAGS
I GET A RECALL ABOUT AIR BAG (SOMETHING ABOUT THE SEATS) AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. I TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. TOOK IT BACK, AND THE DEALER, HERMAN JENKINS IN UNION CITY TN, STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. TODAY I HAVE A AIR BAG LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC, THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS ON THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER, IF THEY CAN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER COULD NOT FIX A PRODUCT THEY SELL!.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
"TAKATA RECALL" THE ISSUE IS IN THE ELECTRICAL WARNING SYSTEM. THE WARNING INDICATES AIR BAG. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND HAS STAYED ON CONTINUES TO STAY ON. IT DOES NOT FLASH IT JUST STAYS ON. ON THE START OF THE VEHICLE ONCE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON AND THE CAR IS RUNNING. IT CONTINUES TO STAY ON WHILE VEHICLE TURNED ON AND RUNNING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE A RECALL WITH THE MODULAR.

I WAS ABOUT TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE STREET, WHEN I FELT LOSS OF POWER. THE CAR ETC, MIL, AND ETC INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. TRANSMISSION GOES INTO STALL MODE, DOES NOT GO OVER 30 MPH, SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN AND SHAKING EXCESSIVELY. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 10 MONTHS. NOW IF THIS WAS TO HAVE OCCURRED ON A WEEKDAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AND THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
