JANUARY 13,2017 I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM CARITE DEALERSHIP. ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS LATER I HAD AN ISSUE COME SAYING SERVICE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO STALL AND NOT SWITCH INTO GEAR WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO SWITCH LANES AND IT WASN'T EASY SEEING THAT CARS WAS GOING 70 MILES IN SPEED. EVENTUALLY I GOT OFF TO SIDE STREET THEN POWERED THE CAR DOWN. TRIED STARTING IT AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. I WAITED AN HOUR BEFORE THE CAR STARTED NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP I GO TO ONLY BE TOLD THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS ISSUE WILL HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY MORE SO DURING SUMMER. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP STILL THEY SEE NOTHING WRONG BUT A THROTTLE BODY LIKE SERIOUSLY. I COMPLAINED THAT IT WAS STILL AN ISSUE AND DEMANDED IT BE FIXED. THEY SAID IT'S NO PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE BECAUSE I WAS TRIED OF THE RUN AROUND AND THEM SAYING IT'S NOTHING WRONG. MY CAR DOES THIS FREQUENTLY MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT'S UNSAFE TO BE DOING SO. I'VE EVEN HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR DOESN'T START UP TILL THE NEXT DAY. I HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THE WHEN IT'S TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE THAT IT EVENTUALLY SHUTDOWNS DOWN. TODAY MAY 22, 2020 IS THE LATEST WHERE ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. *TR

MAY 5, 2020. I WENT TO START MY CAR & IT SAYS THE ENGINE IS TOO HOT TO START. STRANGE. THE NEXT DAY IT SAYS THE SAME THING SO I CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO PEP BOYS. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULDN'T RELEASE SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO TOW IT. THEY GIVE ME A JUMP START & I TAKE IT TO PEP BOYS. THEY TEST THE BATTERY & SHOWED IT WAS JUST FINE. I SEEMED TO HAVE NO PROBLEMS SOON AFTER LEAVING. LATER THAT NIGHT, I WENT OUT TO CHECK ON IT JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WAS WORKING. ONCE AGAIN IT WOULDN'T START. THEN I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD MENU HAD A BLACK SCREEN & WOULDN'T TURN ON. I KEPT TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF & GIVE IT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. THEN THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ONCE I TURNED IT ON. THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR WAS 100 DEGREES I THOUGHT THIS WAS CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR THE ENGINE SO I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF. IT KEPT BLOWING ONTO THE WINDSHIELD & WOULDN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I TRIED TO START THE CAR & THE BATTERY WOULDN'T CRANK. IT JUST WAS STUCK ON RUN WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING. SO I WAS OFFICIALLY STRANDED AT HOME, BUT I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED AT HOME INSTEAD OF SOMEWHERE ELSE. I DON'T HAVE AAA SO I WASN'T SURE HOW I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS AN HOUR FROM ME. THANKFULLY A RELATIVE CAME THROUGH & HELPED. BUT WHEN I INITIALLY WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR ON 5/13, ONCE AGAIN IT DIDN'T START. SO THEY KEPT IT FOR A FEW MORE DAYS TO SEE WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM LIKE I THOUGHT. I NOW HAVE THE CAR TODAY & SO FAR ALL IS GOOD. HOWEVER I AM UPSET NO ONE TOLD ME THIS CAR HAD 8 RECALLS. BEFORE SELLING IT TO ME & I'M A NEW DRIVER! THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE & I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT RECALLED & REPLACE THIS WITH A NEW VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I CAN'T ATTACH THESE FILES BUT I HAVE VIDEOS AS EVIDENCE I WILL GLADLY EMAIL IF NEEDED. *TR

WE TURNED ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND WE WERE IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES DUE TO SOMEONE CUTTING US OFF, THEN WHEN WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT SHUT OFF AND SAID SHIFT TO PARK WHILE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR BEHIND US ALMOST CRASHED INTO US AND HAD TO SWERVE AWAY FROM US. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER OUR VEHICLE, ALL WE COULD DO IS TRY TO GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON, TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, WE TRIED TO AND THE CAR WASN?T FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE D FOR THE DRIVE POSITION WAS BLINKING. WE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP THE CAR, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AND HOPE THAT WE DIDN?T GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND US DUE TO HAVING TO CONTROL OVER OUR VEHICLE. WE PUSHED THE BUTTON TO THE IGNITION/START TO START IT AND IT WOULDN?T START IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD NO POWER AT ALL AND THEN AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, WHILE EXPOSED AND DEFENSELESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY, IT FINALLY STARTED AND WE GOT GOING AGAIN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, IT?S THE FIRST TIME IT HAS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. THIS CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE DUE TO THAT, MY FAMILY AT RISK JUST GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE. IT IS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. WE LOOKED IT UP, IT FALLS UNDER CHRYSLER RECALL S55. *TR

QUITE A FEW TIMES NOW I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD COMING TO A STOP AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF. OIL LIFE SAYS 30% BUT THE CAR STILL STALLS AND RUNS ROUGH. I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN 2 COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THIS, AND I'VE PAID FOR 3 OF THE TOWS. THEY REPLACED MY ECU BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING.

WHEN AT A STOP SIGN THE AND THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES RAPIDLY. TURN IT IN A DIFFERENT GEAR IT STOPS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT HAS A DELAY; RPM WILL JUMP AND NOTHING HAPPENS. YOU RELEASE THE GAS AND THE CARS RPM DROPS AND CAR JERKS YOU INTO NEXT GEAR. WITH THIS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A WRECK OR A FATALITY DUE TO THE JERKING MOTION AND UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES

I AM WRITING IN TO NOTIFY YOU THAT CHRYSLER RECALL P43 SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE INTERMITTENT FUNCTIONALITY LOSS IN THE DRIVER DOOR DUE TO WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IS A SHORT IN THE DRIVER DOOR WIRING HARNESS. THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SHORT VISUALLY, BUT KNOW ITS THERE FROM A MULTI METER TEST READING. THEY WANTED OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THIS DOOR HARNESS AND I TRULY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE CHRYSLER P43 RECALL. THIS RECALL ONLY APPLYS TO 8 "KNOWN" CHRYSLER 200 LX MODELS BUT WHO IS TO SAY THE DEFECT COULDN'T BE PRESENT IN MORE? IT HAS PRESENTED ITSELF OBLIVIOUSLY IN MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME FAILING TO REPLACE THIS HARNESS WILL RESULT IN FURTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURE INCLUDING AIRBAG MIS-OPERATION,. IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT THAT THIS RECALL DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY CAR AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2017. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I CALLED BAXTER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM AND ICALLEDA TOW TRUCK. LATER THAT DAY BAXTER CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS.THEY FIXED THE RECALLS AND MY CAR WAS GOOD FOR AWHILE. I THEN STARTED HAVING A ISSUE WHERE MY CAR WOULD JERK HARD WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP. AFTER I START RESEARCHING MY MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR I START TO READ THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I CALL BAXTER AGAIN TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND EXPLAIN WHAT I READ TO THEM AND THEY CALL ME BACK AND NOW SAY IT'S MY BATTERY. I GET MY CAR BACK IT'S STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. EXPECT NOW MY CAR WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING. THEY TELL ME TO COME BACK WHEN I HAVE DROVE IT 1,000 MILES. I DID NOT WAIT 1,000 MILES BECAUSE I NANNY AND DRIVE PEOPLE'S CHILDREN IN MY CAR AND IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I DRIVE AND MY TRANSMISSION SLIPS. I KEEP MAKING APPOINTMENTS AND FINALLY THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION SO THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR ABOUT A WEEK TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. MY TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPS AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS SLAMMING INTO THE BACK OF ME WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I HAVE CALLED BAXTOR MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN PUT IN AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO WITH MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE CHRYSLER ASSOCIATION TOLD THEM TO NOT PERFORM ANYTHING ELSE ON MY CAR BECAUSE THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO DO THIS.

NHTSA ODI 11321299

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 1/2018 I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT WANTS TO STALL AS SOON AS I PRESS THE GAS AND PUTTERS ALONG UNTIL IT GETS ENOUGH ENERGY AND WHEN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE TO GO SUCH AS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NORMALLY HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE MEDIUM TO GET ENOUGH SPEED TO MOVE INTO THE TRAFFIC OTHERWISE I'M BOUND TO GET REAR ENDED. THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND NOTIFICATION TO COME ON. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND TAKES ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO START BACK UP , UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC. LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE ( DASH, RADIO) DIM EXTREMELY LOW DURING DAYLIGHT UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING. I'VE LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND STILL CHARGED ME. WHEN THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED AND WERE MORE NOTICEABLE AND MORE OFTEN THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN WITH NO RESULTS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND VEHICLE JUST STAGGERS INSTEAD OF GAINING SPEED. *TR
