SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES. I DID PURCHASE THE CAR AS IS, I AM LEASING IT AT 250.00 MONTH. THE TOTAL COST OF THE CAR IS OVER 11,000 DOLLARS AND THERE ARE TOO MANY ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS FOR INSTANCE SEEM TO HAVE A SHORTAGE OF SOME SORT, BECAUSE THEY COME IN AND OUT. THE REAR AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AS WELL. I HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEYS WORTH. I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING AROUND.

1). ON 7-31-13, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE SHIFT KNOB WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK POSITION. I CALLED AAA TO TOW IT TO FINNEGAN DODGE IN ROSENBERG, TX. THE DEALER REPLACED SHIFT ASSEMBLY. PAID $390.36. SINCE THEN, CAR STILL WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO GO INTO GEAR MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL ABOUT 4 TO 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR. 2) RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL AND CALLED FINNEGAN DODGE, AND DROPPED OFF VEHICLE ON 6-22-15. MILEAGE WAS 82,058. DEALER STATED THEY REPLACED DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATER AND TESTED THE SYSTEM. I PICKED UP CAR ON 6-23-15 AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHETHER THERE WAS A PASSENGER OR NOT. I DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL AIRBAG WORK WAS DONE. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID SOMEONE WILL CALL BACK, BUT NEVER DID. I CALLED ON 7-24-15, AND THEY SCHEDULED ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK ON 8-5-15. HOPEFULLY, THEY WON'T CHARGE ME FOR THEIR MESS-UP.
