AIR BAGS, STEERING, SUSPENSION
VAN HORN CHRYSLER AND DODGE IN PLYMOUTH WI. SOLD ME A VEHICLE THAT WAS IN A MAJOR FRONT END ACCIDENT. WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE AIR THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ATTACHED. THE STEERING WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE SUSPENSION WAS SEVERELY DAMAGE, IT WAS SO SEVERE THAT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER, I SPEND MONEY THERE TO GET THE PROBLEMS REPAIRED. BECAUSE VAN HORN WOULDN'T PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. AFTER CHRYSLER COULDN'T MAKE THE REPAIRS, BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER. CHRYSLER REFERRED ME TO THE BODY SHOP, WHERE I WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR ANOTHER ADDITIONAL REPAIR. I ALSO FORWARD THIS INFORMATION TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANT 1-888-992-1997. MY CASE NUMBER THERE IS [XXX].THEY (CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANT) SAID THE CAR SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD. THEY INFORMED [XXX] MANGER TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME TO MAKE A SETTLE.

ENGINE
ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2015, IN THE MORNING AT 7;30AM, HEADING TO WORK. HEADING TOWARDS THE PA TURNPIKE. MY CHRYSLER 2012, HARD-TOP CONVERTER CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN/ STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. LAST YEAR, IT HAPPEND IN FLORIDA AS WELL. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IN FLORIDA, AND THEY DID NOT FIND A CAUSE. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I'M CONCERN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR BOTH ON THE LOCAL ROADS; AS WELL AS, THE HIGHWAYS. I MOSTLY USED THE PA TURNPIKE TO GET TO WORK EVERY MORNINGS. THE OTHER COMPLAINT I HAVE AS WELL IS IN THE CHANGING OF THE GEAR STICK (FROM PARK TO DRIVE, AND VICE VERSA). AT TIMES, IT IS SEEMS TO BE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE GEAR. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DRIVE SYSTEM SO IT SHOULD NOT BE SO HARD IN CHANGING GEARS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE GOT RECALL P25/NHTSA 14V-234 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN GARDEN CITY LONG ISLAND ,NY TEL 516 292 9764 TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, I HAVE BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES FOR OIL CHANGE. I REQUESTED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THERE RESPONSE- 1- OH WE DO NOT HAVE PART IN STOCK, WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE GET THE PART, 2- ON THE PHONE THEY KEEP TRANSFERRING THE LINE, FINALLY I END UP WITH LEAVING MESSAGE, BUT NO CALL FROM THEM. 3-THEY KEEP YOU ON HOLD SO LONG THAT YOU HAVE TO HANG UP THE PHONE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL THIS DEALERSHIP IS ARROGANT, IRRESPONSIBLE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND DANGER TO THE CAR OWNERS. I HOPE YOU TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. I MIGHT BE ONE CASE BUT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF MINI VAN LIKE MINE. THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I NOTICED AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2012, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR IN 2013. MY CAR STARTED HAVING HEAT COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. I IGNORED THIS ISSUE BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. ON MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE DEALER DIDN'T FILL MY OVERFLOW FOR THE ANTIFREEZE SO I HAD A FRIEND TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING THE ANTIFREEZE HE DECIDED TO TURN ON THE ENGINE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THAT THE ANTIFREEZE BEGAN TO BOIL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER AND TOOK IT ON YESTERDAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM WHICH WAS SHORTED OUT AND THAT THE FAN WASN'T COMING ON LIKE IT SHOULD. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS $1275.00. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND THAT THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THIS ISSUE.

STEERING
THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES LOUD "POPPING" NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING COLUMN IS GOING TO SNAP. IN ADDITION, I HAD TO HAVE ALL OF MY LIFTERS REPLACED IN THE ENGINE DUE TO A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LASTLY, THE LEATHER MATERIAL IS COMING OFF OF ALL OF THE DOORS IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED. I DESPISE DRIVING THE CAR AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY LOSE FUNCTIONALITY WHILE WARNING LIGHTS WERE APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD UNTIL IT ABRUPTLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE TIME FROM NO WARNING LIGHTS TO COMPLETE LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS. THE SHUT DOWN INCLUDED AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET AT NIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY COMPENSATE FOR THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE AVOIDING A CRASH, BUT JUST BARELY. THANKFULLY, I BROKE DOWN NEXT TO TWO POLICE OFFICERS WHO HELPED PUSH MY VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THESE OFFICERS MAY BE ABLE TO ATTEST TO THE FACT THAT NO NOISES OR ABNORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS APPARENT BEFORE THE ABRUPT SHUT-OFF WHILE DRIVING. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE INVOLVED NO CLICKING OR THE ENGINE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED, BUT THE PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS IS ONE OF A FAULTY ALTERNATOR. I WILL ATTEMPT TO RETAIN THE FAULTY ALTERNATOR FROM THE REPAIR CENTER. I HAD ONLY STARTED THE CAR 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND THERE WERE NO APPARENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES (ENGINE STRUGGLING TO START, LIGHTS DIMMING, ETC.) WHILE STARTING THE CAR OR DURING OPERATION.
