ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ON MY CAR THAT THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE SPREAD ELECTRICAL TERMINALL(S). A SPREAD ELECTRICAL TERMINAL(S) COULD CAUSE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION(S) TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL OR A SHIFT TO NEUTRAL EVENT. EITHER OF THE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. SO I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE FIXED SINCE I AM VERY CONCERNED AND DO NOT WANT TO CRASH FOR SURE. MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WAS FOR OCTOBER 22ND AT 8AM. WHEN I GOT TOSERVIC DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID OH SHE FORGOT TO PUT YOU DOWN FOR THE RECALL SO WE CAN'T FIX TODAY BECAUSE WE DO NTOT HAVE THE PARTS. SO I RESCHEDULED TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED AND THAT APPOINTMENT WAS FOR FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH AT 8AM.I WENT INSIDE, REGISTERED MY CAR, AND LEFT MY KEYS WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS ON MY WAY. I HAD MY DAUGHTER PICK ME UP SINCE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP MY CAR FOR 8 HOURS AND I DID NOT WANT TO SIT THERE FOR 8 HOURS. ABOUT 45 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I RECIEVED A CALL FROM THEM STATING THAT THEY WOULD ONCE AGAIN NOT BE ABLE TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT. THEY CLAIM THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER BUT I AM RECEIVING EMAILS FROM CHRYSLER SAYING PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND TAKE YOUR CAR IN IMMEDIATELY TO BE FIXED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED PROPERLY. JUST THE OTHER DAY IT SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT AND A CRASH DID NOT OCCUR. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT??

CAR WILL STALL OUT WITH NO WARNING AT ANY SPEED OR MANEUVER, DISABLING POWER STEERING. I DRIVE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS TRAFFIC AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF STALL OCCURS ON THEIR MANY, MANY EXPRESSWAYS AND OVERPASSES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS, DOWNTOWN STREETS AND ON IH 35.

ENGINE
BOUGHT CAR IS OCTOBER OF 2014. OCTOBER OF 2015, CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS. FIRST DAY IT STARTED. CAR HAD TROUBLE TURNING OVER. IT CRANKED, AND CRANKED, AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO TURN OVER. DROVE IT TO WORK THAT DAY AND FELT SHAKES AND VIBRATIONS AT IDLE. NEXT DAY, SAME THING. CAR HESITATES AND SHAKES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE RECALLS AND UPDATES TO THE TCM AND PCM. I STATED THERE WAS SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS, AND THEY INSISTED IT WAS JUST THE RECALLS (POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER). GOT A CALL THE NEXT DAY TO PICK CAR UP. TOOK OFF WITH IT, AND AT NEXT STOP LIGHT, CAR STALLED. LIGHTS FLICKERED AND CAR FELT VERY ROUGH. WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK ON CAR. AT THIS TIME, THE A/C STOPPED WORKING. THE DEFROST WAS THE ONLY THING WORKING NO MATTER WHAT WAS TURNED ON OR OFF ON THE DASH. TRIED TO TURN AC AND DEFROST ON AND OFF AND THE DEFROST STAYED ON THE WHOLE TIME. MADE IT BACK TO DEALER, AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUES. WHILE I STOOD THERE, THE ADVISER FELT THE SHAKE WHEN HE TOUCHED THE DOOR, AND SAID THERE WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG AND GOT ME A LOANER CAR. STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

POWER TRAIN
CAR BEGAN LURCHING FORWARD UPON ACCELERATION SO WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL, I ASKED THAT THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT. THEY STATED THAT IT WAS FIXED WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT THEY COMPLETED. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR BEGAN LURCHING FORWARD EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP. ONCE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT SHIFTS AND LURCHES LIKE IT WANTS TO GO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE TWO EMPLOYEES TELL ME THEY ARE AWARE OF MANY WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS BUT ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER NOTHING IS WRONG. THE PAPER WORK THEY GAVE ME STATES NOTHING IS WRONG. THE CAR LUNGES EVERY TIME YOU STOP. THIS IS NOT "NORMAL". THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT ONCE ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE TO FIX IT IS AVAILABLE THEY WILL CALL ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, IF "NOTHING IS WRONG" WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO CALL ME WHEN A FIX IS AVAILABLE? THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND IT HAS 2,300 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, SUSPENSION
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR A YEAR. THE DEALER MAC HAIK IN GEORGETOWN TX HAS SAID THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HESITATES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND WHEN IT IS PUT INTO GEAR IT LUNGES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY ANNOYING WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTS. I HAVE TOLD THEM OVER AND OVER AND THEY JUST SAY THAT THEIR TRANSMISSION MAN IS OUT ON LEAVE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE BECAUSE OF HOW IT DRIVES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER. I AM FRUSTRATED AND VERY AGGRAVATED. IF THIS IS THE AMERICAN IMPORT OF THE YEAR, WE ARE IN DIRE STRAITS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CAR! THIS WAS NOT THE CAR THAT I DEMOED AND WHEN I SAID SOMETHING TO THE SALESPERSON, HE AND THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT THE CAR HAD TO ADJUST TO THE WAY I DRIVE.
