ENGINE
TAMARA RECALL - THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING COLD WEATHER (UNDER 30 DEGREES), AND THE ISSUE WAS THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT WAS BELOW A SPECIFIED TEMPERATURE FOR A SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY DASH SAID THAT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT. AFTER WORK I DROVE IT HOME AND WATCHED THE TEMPERATURE, BUT IT DIDN'T GET HOT AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND ONCE THE PART WAS REPLACED, THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I BELIEVE IF IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM, AND I BELIEVE THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE TO HELP DRIVERS BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO THEM.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR WAS PURCHASED USED 8/1/17 FOR MY DAUGHTER GOING TO COLLEGE. CAR WOULD NOT START ON WEEKEND TEST DRIVE, THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. I DID GET DEALER TO FIX 3 OPEN RECALLS. SEPT 2017 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT COLLEGE AND CAR BROKE DOWN WHILE AT A LIGHT, WOULD NOT START. . GOT TOWED TO DEALER AND IT STARTED. THE DEALER FOUND AN OPEN CODE TO REPLACE FUSE PANEL AND COMPLETED FIX. DEC 23 2017, CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING, HOWEVER STARTED 5 MINUTES LATER. JAN 2018, CAR WOULD NOT START - JUMPED AND IT STARTED. 1 HOUR LATER WOULD NOT START OR RESPOND TO JUMP. TOWED BACK TO DEALER AND NEXT DAY WHEN THEY GOT TO IT STARTED RIGHT UP. FEB 6 2018, CAR DIED WHILE DAUGHTER DRIVING IT AT 35-40 MPH, SHE MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY FOUND A CODE TO REPLACE THE PCM. FEB 18 2018 THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND NOW I WILL NOT LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR AS HER CAMPUS IS 2.5 HOURS AWAY AND IN THE MOUNTAINS - COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SHE WAS DRIVING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND THE CAR DIED. IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I TRY TO WORK WITH THE DEALER TO BUY BACK THIS CAR. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE YET THEY CAN'T FIX IT AND ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO ATTACH SERVICE RECORDS AT THIS TIME BUT I DO HAVE THEM.

S55 RECALL CONCERN: I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE!! I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2017 STARTING IN LATE NOVEMBER EARLY DECEMBER 2017 THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTING OFF BY ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF AND COMPLETELY DIES. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN I AM BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST EVERY 3-6 MILES I DRIVE AND I HAVE TO DRIVE ALOT WORKING AN HOUR AWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND IT JUST STOPS. SOMETIMES IT GIVES WARNINGS BY LIGHTING UP RANDOM LIGHTS LIKE SLIPPERY ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND SPUTTERS SO I CAN ANTICIPATE IT SINCE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!! I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT OVER, I USE FULL SYNTHETIC DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE FOR THE VEHICLE BUT TO ME THIS IS NO SAFETY FEATURE IF ANYTHING IT IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AND I AM AFRAID TO RIDE AROUND WITH MY CHILD IN IT NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN. IN FACT I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO GO AROUND INTERSECTIONS OR DANGEROUS EXPRESSWAYS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL STOP WITH HER IN THE CAR. PLEASE HELP!

THE VEHICLE WILL TRIGGER TRANSMISSION ERROR. WILL NOT DISENGAGE FROM PARK. THE MOTOR SURGES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING CAUSING A DANGEROUS INCREASE IS SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START DUE TO TRANSMISSION ERROR. TAKEN TO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE. DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AT A SPEED OF 15 MILES PER HOUR. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT IT WAS TO LATE AND I HIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS TRAVELING AT 15 MILES PER HOUR GAVE NO FORWARD COLLISION WARNING NOR DID IT ATTEMPT TO APPLY THE BRAKES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SYSTEM WAS MADE FOR THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE AND THE SAFETY FEATURE SHOULD HAVE WORKED. THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED $6500 IN DAMAGE FROM A MINOR 15 MPH ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED OR LESSENED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE THAT I PURCHASED AS AN ADD ON TO THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CHRYSLER 200 HAD BEEN RECALLED MID 2015 FOR A GLITCH IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT REQUIRED ALL CHRYSLER, DODGE, RAM, AND FIAT VEHICLES WITH THE 8.4 SCREEN TO HAVE A CHIP SENT OUT AND INSTALLED BY SELF TO UPDATE AND INSTILL SECURITY TO THOSE CARS. IN JANUARY OF 2016 I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN MY CHRYSLER 200. MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS KNOCKED OFF AS I WAS AWAITING A TURN IN A CENTER LANE ON A CITY STREET. MY ENGINE DROPPED AND ALL FLUIDS WERE EXPELLED FROM THIS VEHICLE, MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I CALLED CONCERNED ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS TESTED WITH A HAND DEVICE IN A JUNK YARD AND THAT I HAD NOT BEEN HIT HARD ENOUGH OR IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THEM TO DEPLOY. I COULD NOT BELIEVE DUE TO THE FORCE AND DAMAGE DONE BUT WAS STILL TOLD BY A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIR BAGS. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS BUT WAS RESOLD TO A DEALERSHIP IN CINCINNATI, OH AND PUT UP FOR SALE. I AM STILL RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE CAR DUE TO UCONNECT AND IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAME VEHICLE BEING SOLD AND PUT ON THE ROAD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING TO WORK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT TWO ALERTS ON MY DASHBOARD SIGNALING ENGINE TEMPERATURE HOT AND TO SERVICE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THE CARS PERFORMANCE AFTER THESE ALERTS WAS POOR AND IT WAS VERY LOUD. IT WAS STRUGGLING TO GET PAST 40MPH. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND FOUND MY THERMOSTAT, THE HOUSING, AND SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. ALSO FOUND OUT THE MEMORY OF THE CONTROLLER NEEDED TO GO BACK TO A DEALER TO BE ERASED AND RE PROGRAMMED WHICH IS NOT MY FAULT.
