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.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
PURCHASES CAR ON AUG 4, 2015 SINCE DAY I PURCHASED CAR IT HAS HAD A HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AT INITIAL START. YOU START CAR AND TURN DIAL TO DRIVE BUT IF U IMMEDIATELY TRY TO TAKE OFF THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV AS IF YOUR IN NEUTRAL IT TAKES ABOUT 15-30 SECONDS ONCE YOU TURN THE DIAL BEFORE CAR IS IN GEAR. AFTER ABOUT MAYBE 10,000 MILES I NOTICED CAR WOULD SOMETIMES JERK AS IF IT HAD BEEN STUCK IN A GEAR MAYBE THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AROUND 60+ MPH BRAKES HARD AND DIFFICULT TO PUSH DOWN HAD TO STAND ON THEM AND STILL BARELY STOPPED. SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED 20 MIN LATER AND THEY WERE FINE. SERVICE AWD LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE AND INSTALL OF BRAND NEW TIRES. WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND CAR BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCED WINDING SOUND (SORT OF LIKE AN OPEN FACED FISHING REEL WHEN YOU CAST OR REEL IT IN) THEN ALL THE SUDDEN HEARD A BIG CLUNK WHEN SIT RING AT STOP SIGN IT WAS LOUD AND JOGGED THE CAR TO THE POINT I THOUGH MAYBE A DEER RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR. I TOOK OFF BUT IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVERY AND WALKED AROUND THE END CAR TO CHECK AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. NOTICED WHEN I TOOK OFF THE WINDING HAD QUIT. BUT THE NEXT DAY IT BEGAN AGAIN TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE WINDING NOISE HAD GOTTEN SO LOUD THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT WHILE DOING OIL CHANGE HAD TO BE SCHEDULED. I RAISED HELL UNTIL SOMEONE CAME OUT FROM SERVICE WHEN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME. NOISE WAS COMPLETELY GONE SERV AWD LIGHT STILL ON THO SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT TO HAVE LIGHT TURNED OFF FOR 4 DAYS LATER. DROVE 30 MILES WHEN I LEFT DEALERSHIP AND IT BEGAN AGAIN STOPPED TO DROP KID OFF AND WAS HEADED BACK TO DEALERSHIP BUT WHEN I RESTARTED CAR NOISE GONE AND AWD LIGHT WAS OFF. NOISE COMES AND GOES OVER NEXT 2,000 MI NOW AWD LIGHT BACK ON AND CAR IS HORRIBLE IN SNOW WITHOUT AWD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, RANDOM TIMES OF DAY, I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START MY CAR (OR SOMETIMES ALREADY BE DRIVING) BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT AND PARKING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON WITH A MESSAGE READING "SERVICE TRANSMISSION, SERVICE PARKING BRAKE" AND I CAN NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK. THIS HAPPENED AT TIMES WHEN I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HAS EVEN LEFT ME STRANDED IN VACANT PARKING LOTS. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. I LEFT MY CAR, HAD THE UPGRADE AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY OPTION LEFT IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. DURING ALL OF MY CONVERSATIONS AND VISITS TO THE DEALER, I SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS MENTIONED ONCE TO ME THAT THIS CAR WAS RECALLED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I FOUND THAT OUT MYSELF WHEN I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT OVERNIGHT UNTIL I COULD FIND A RIDE TO GET ME HOME, I'VE STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC, AND I'VE LOST COUNT OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK DAYS I'VE BEEN OUT BECAUSE WAS CAR HAS NOT BEEN RELIABLE ENOUGH TO START WHEN I NEED IT TO. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 1.5 YEARS OLD. I SHOULDN'T BE DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

I BOUGHT A CHRYSLER 200 2015 ON 11-23-2016 SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR I HAVE DRIVEN IT ONLY 3-5 DAYS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME THING EVERY TIME NOW THEY ARE TELLING THAT THEY ARE HAVING TO PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM BEING INNING TO BELIEVE I BOUGHT A LEMON. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD ASKED THE SALESMAN WAS THERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLE HIS REPLY WAS NO . BUT THE MORE I INVESTIGATE IT THE MORE I FIND OUT IT IS A DEATH TRAP. WHY WON'T SOMEONE DO SOMETHING TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THEN THEY REALLY WILL HAVE TO PAY. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE FROM WHAT I AM READING. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH SICK KIDS I HAVE ONE CHILD THAT HAS A HEART PROBLEM. AND ANOTHER CHILD WITH A KIDNEY DISEASE I NEED A DEPENDABLE CAR NOT ONE THAT I AM NOT EVEN GONNA GET TO ENJOY... WHAT DO I NEED TO DO. BECAUSE I BOUGHT MY CAR USED AT 44,000 THE LEMON LAW DOESN'T COVER IT WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD.ALSO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER US SIGNING THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT ASK ME TO SIGN THREE DIFFERENT AGREEMENTS WITH THEM CHANGING THE PAYMENT AMOUNT EVERY TIME. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! THE SECOND TIME I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE SHOP I PLACED IT IN DRIVE AND IT DID NOT MOVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY HUSBANDS CHRYSLER 200 2015 HAD HUGE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL WOULD NOT WORK, THE KEYFOB WOULDN'T WORK, THE TRUNK WOULDN'T OPEN AND YOU COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BUT "FIXED" IT SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS A RESULT, WHICH TOTALED THE CAR COMPLETELY, WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CHRYSLER HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE, INSTEAD THEY HAVE CLOSED SEVERAL CASES/CLAIMS WE HAVE OPENED WITH THEM, NEVER ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE CAR TURNING OFF WITHOUT NOTICE, ONLY THE AIRBAG CONCERN. AGAIN, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE POWER, WHICH RESULTED IN THE ACCIDENT WHICH TOTALED THE CAR
