THE VEHICLE VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVEN. THE SEATS ALL MOVE VIOLENTLY. CAR DEALERS HAVE BALANCED THE TIRES TO NO AVAIL. THE TIRES WEAR OUT UNEVENLY, CUPPING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WE JUST HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THAT WAS THE FIX BUT THE CAR IS STILL VIBRATING. THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE CAR AGAIN AND SUGGESTED WE ROTATE TIRES THAT WERE JUST INSTALLED 60 DAYS AGO. THE TIRES ARE AGAIN WEARING UNEVENLY. WE NEED ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THE CAR HAS 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES LEFT ON ITS WARRANTY. I'VE LOST HOPE THAT THE DEALER WILL BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A BUSY SHOPPING CENTER. FORTUNATELY I WAS PARKING IN FRONT OF A GRASSY AREA WHERE THERE WERE NO PARKED CARS OR PEOPLE PRESENT. AS I SLOWLY PULLED IN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY CAR ACCELERATED IN AN ABRUPT MANNER UP INTO THE GRASSY AREA. IT WOULD HAVE KEPT GOING BUT WAS STOPPED BY AN ICY MOUND OF SNOW. MY FOOT NEVER LEFT THE FOOT PEDAL. I AM ONLY FIVE FEET TALL AND I HAVE SMALL FEET. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NO WHERE NEAR MY FOOT. THE SPEED THE CAR ACCELERATED AT WAS FRIGHTENING. MY 11-YEAR-OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. SEVERAL PEOPLE TRIED TO SHOVEL ME OUT OF THIS SPOT TO GET MY CAR OFF THE HILL, BUT THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THE SNOW BANK WAS ALL ICE AND THEY COULD NOT SHOVEL IT. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED OUT OF THIS SPOT BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK ON THE SNOW BANK WHICH WAS THE VERY THING THAT STOPPED THE CAR FROM GOING FARTHER IN AN UNCONTROLLED WAY. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CODES AND NOTHING CAME UP. MY CAR WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING STRANGE BEFORE THIS EVENT AND IS NOT DOING ANYTHING STRANGE NOW WHICH IS EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE A TICKING TIME BOMB THAT CAN REPEAT THIS EVENT WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. I WILL BE CALLING CHRYSLER AFTER WRITING THIS COMPLAINT.

WHEN DRIVING THE VAN STALLS, LOSING CONTROL AND WHEEL LOCKING UP. I HAVE TO PUT THE VAN IN PARK TO RESTART. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE NOV 2015. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 29,000 MILES. THE VAN HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR TWICE. THE FIRST TRIP RESULTED IN NO CODES SINCE THEY HAD BEEN OVERWRITTEN AND THE PROBLEM HADN'T OCCURRED IN A REASONABLE TIME. THE DEALER PLACED A DEVICE IN THE CAR TO TAKE A SNAPSHOT WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED AND THE CODES P0016. THE DEALER REPLACED CAM PHASERS-BANK 1 (REAR HEAD). THEN THE CAR WAS READY FOR PICKUP AND MY WIFE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR STATEMENT DATED ON JAN 18,2016, NOTHING ELSE HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. THE DEALER HAD BEEN WORKING WITH STAR TECHNICIAN SUPPORT CENTER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. MY WIFE THEN STALLED AGAIN THIS MORNING ON JAN 26, 2016. THIS MATTER IS VERY SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST DRIVING.
