EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ALOT AND I WOULD GIGGLE THE WIRE TO GET THEM TO FULLY TURN ON. THEN THAT STOPPED WORKING. WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT ROUTES OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO WORK BUT NOTHING WILL. IT CAN ONLY BE DRIVEN DURING THE DAY NOW.

ENGINE
MY CAR CRANKS AND STARTS, THEN DIES ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT USUALLY STARTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD IT INTO A CHRYSLER DEALER TWICE WITHOUT THEM FINDING ANYTHING WRONG. IT USUALLY DECIDES TO RUN JUST FINE WHILE IN THE SHOP. IT WILL OFTEN GO FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN START REPEATING THIS SCENARIO. THIS HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I TOOK THE VEHICLE AFTER PURCHASE TO THE SHOP TO LOOK OVER AND SELLER AGREED THAT HE WOULD COVER THE COST FOR "SENSOR" ISSUE AS HE STATED! THE CAR NEEDS A CAMSHAFT AND DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC STATED IF THAT PART IS REPLACED IT WILL POSSIBLY NEED A TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW ENGINE. THEREFORE THE REPAIRS WOULD EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE OR NOT WORK AT ALL AND WASTE ALL THAT MONEY. CAR HAD ISSUES STARTING FROM DAY 1 TOO.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF WOULD OPEN WITH PAUSING. THE TRUNK WAS STUCK OPEN NOT CLOSING BUT YOU COULD HEAR MOTOR. NOW TRUNK CLOSED AND STAY CLOSED WITH NO MOTOR SOUND. CONVERTIBLE TOP ISN'T OPENING BUT WHEN CAR DRIVES AT 30MPH THE ROOF FLIES OPEN. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING,CAUSING UNABLE TO SEE MPH OR ANYTHING. I CAN NOT DRIVE DUE TO FEAR OF BEING IN A ACCIDENT OR CAUSING ONE SINCE THE CAR IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE ROOF WILL FALL OFF ON ROUTINE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITS THE CAR CAN'T EXCEED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS RECENTLY WITH THE CAR STAHLING OUT AND OR GETTING STUCK IN LOW GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, IT WAS TERRIFYING! WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT AT HOME AND HAVE A 10 HOUR DRIVE BACK HOME WHILE DRIVING THIS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE CAR AND AM HONESTLY SCARED TO DEATH WE ARE GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT! THIS IS THE 3RD BATTERY SWAP WE'VE DONE IN 3 MONTHS BUT ONLY HAVE LAST 2 RECEIPTS. WE HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER APPARENTLY OUR VIN DONT MATCH UP TO THE RECALL. I DONT UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS EXTREMELY HORRIBLE BUSINESS FROM CHRYSLER AND AS SOON AS WE CAN GET HOME HOPEFULLY SAFELY.. WE WONT BUY ANOTHER. PLEASE HELP FAST!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HORN GOES OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME OF THE DAY. THE HORN RANDOMLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS POWERED ON AND IN MOTION (ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A STREET), SOMETIMES WHILE STATIONARY AND POWERED OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY - THE VEHICLE BEING VACANT. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE, ALMOST EVERY DAY. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 14 MONTHS. FOLLOWING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED TO VARIOUS FORUMS BY OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ONLY PROPOSED PERMANENT SOLUTION BEING TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SWITCH, A COSTLY REPAIR (EST $1100). OTHERWISE, DISABLE THE FUSE CONTROLLING THE AIRBAG AND HORN, NOT SAFE!

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL BULLETIN ON AUG 30, 2010 "K16 A/T SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVER SPRING"- THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK SPRING RETAINER HOOK MAY BREAK RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. ALTHOUGH THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER LOCK SPRING ON MY VEHICLE ON SEPT 2011, THIS REPLACED SPRING IS STILL FRAGILE AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS DEFECT RESULTING IN THE REPLACED PART BEING DAMAGED AGAIN IN 2020. REQUESTING NHTSA TO RE-REQUEST CHRYSLER TO REPAIR THIS SPRING FOR VEHICLES THAT WERE REPAIRED BUT ARE NOW RE-AFFECTED AGAIN DUE TO LACK OF DUALITY OF THE REPLACEMENT PART. *TR
