I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT FEB 16 2017. REAR ENDED BY A FORD EXPEDITION. MY AIRBAG CAME ON BUT DIDN'T DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD HARD AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON ITS OWN. IT SLOWS DOWN TO FIVE MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SPEEDS UP AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THIS [XXX] CAR. IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING AND I DEMAND ALL THE MONEY I PUT INTO IT BACK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON AND OFF EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING WAS BLOCKING THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT WHICH HAD BEEN REMOVED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT THIS LIGHT IS STILL ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR IF I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE WORKING AIR BAGS OR NOT. THE SUNROOF HAS ALSO MALFUNCTION TO WHERE IT WOULD NOT OPEN AND CLOSE BY PRESSING THE BUTTON I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE FIXED 3 TIMES ALREADY. I FEEL LIKE I AM STUCK IN A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS, THE CAR ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION, AND THE "VEHICLE AT TOO HIGH SPEED" FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD AS IT ASKED ME TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME! AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY DEADLY, WOULD HAVE OCCURRED! I HAVE A 7 YEAR OLD CHILD, AND THIS CAR IS PUTTING US BOTH IN DANGER. I DIDN'T PAY FOR A DEATH MACHINE, I PAID FOR A WORKING VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. THIS HITS ALL OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF NEEDING TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUE, AS I'VE SEEN AT LEAST 20 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE AFFECTED/INJURED/KILLED FOR THIS TO GET FIXED?

THE VEHICLE IS SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC,INDICATOR ON DASH WILL FLASH SHIFT TO "P".THE WILL NOT RESTART, YOU WILL HAVE TO TRY A RESTART AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING. ONCE TRYING TO RESTART IT WILL SOUND AS IF IT DOESNT WANT TO BUT FINALLY WILL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 5 TO 6 TIMES ALREADY. I'M AFRAID AN ACCIDENT WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING 50 MILES PER HOUR THEN COMING TO COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS STOPPED IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND MAJOR MILE ROADS. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS EXTREME DANGEROUS PROBLEM.I HAVE READ THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THE TCM PINS ARE NOT CONNECTING IN THE HARNESS AND REPROGRAMMING SOME THINGS.THIS CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR DRIVING.

THE CAR WILL NOT CRANK EVEN THOUGH THE KEY FOB IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. IT CAN TAKE UP TO 1 HOUR (SOMETIMES MORE, SOMETIMES LESS) TO GET THE CAR CRANKED. THE CAR STARTS AT RANDOM...NO SPECIAL TECHNIQUE CAN BE USED TO GET THIS CAR TO CRANK AS IT SHOULD. THE KEY FOB WORKS FOR LOCKING, UNLOCKING DOORS; HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT WORK TO START IGNITION. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE FOB, HAD THE CAR'S BATTERY TESTED (IT'S IN GOOD WORKING ORDER), TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE TWICE. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW IN UPPER 90 DEGREE WEATHER IN FLORIDA. THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILE/STATIONARY. THE OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED AT HOME, WORK, GROCERY STORE, RESTAURANT. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR SKIPS WHILE IN MOTION. IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING GETS HUNG UP AND THEN RELEASES. THIS IS UNSAFE AND FRUSTRATING. THIS CAR IS CRAP!

WE TRAVELED TWO HOURS AWAY FOR AN EVENT. WHEN WE WERE LEAVING THE PARK THE CAR STALLED. NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, AND NO DASH LIGHTS. WE ALMOST SIDE SWIPED A CAMPER BEFORE THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. ANOTHER TIME DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY THE CAT JUST DIES. ETC LIGHT COMES ON. WE TAKE THE CAR TI THE DEALER AND THEY TELL US ITS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THE OIL BEING LOW IS GOING TO STALL OUT THE CAR, THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF OIL ISSUES. NO LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASH. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROMA LOCAL CERTIFIED DEALER IN THE END OF APRIL 2017 IN MAY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THERE LOCATION BECASUE THE VEHICLE WOULDNT TURN ON OR RESPOND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR BEEN SHIFTING WEIRD THE TOLD ME IT NEED TO BE TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. JUST LAST WEEK (JULY 4TH WEEKEND) I WAS DRIVING TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHEN THE CAR WOULDNT GO PAST 35MPH AS SOON AS I STOPED THE VEHICLE STALLED. ITRIED TO TURN IT ON BUT IT WONT AND IT KEPT THE STARTER EVEN THO I LET OFF THE START BUTTON. I WAS SCARED TO THINK IT MAY CAUSE A FIRE. 2 DAYS AFTER THAT I GOT THE SAMA SITUATION BUT THIS TIME THE DISPLAY WOULD NOT WORK AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN RESULTING ME TO APPLY THE HAZARDS AND TRY TO AVOID TO GET HIT BY VEHICLES. I HAVE A CURRENT VEDEO THAT SHOW WHAT IT WAS DOING

MY CAR IS HAVING AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER TO ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEREBY MY VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD AND SIMPLY LOSS POWER.

NHTSA ODI 11001851

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO MY CAR STALLED AND TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT COMPLETELY LOCKED UP INCLUDING THE BRAKES, STEERING, TRANSMISSION AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK HOWEVER THE CONTROL KNOB TO DO SO WAS LOCKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN BUT ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE WORKING AND SEVERAL SERVICE MESSAGES CYCLED THROUGH THE DISPLAY SCREEN. MY HUSBAND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, WHICH RESET EVERYTHING AND ALLOWED US TO START THE CAR AND PULL IT OUT OF THE ROAD AND INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE AND MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 DAYS IN THE SERVICE DEPT I WAS INFORMED THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO TOTALLY SHUT DOWN AND LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. THEY DROVE THE CAR, HOWEVER NO CODES WERE ACTIVE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THROW A CODE WHILE THEY HAD THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE NOW RETURNED MY CAR TO ME WITHOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED. SINCE THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE STALLING AND SHUTDOWN THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO ME. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AS OPPOSED TO A FEW MINUTES EARLIER WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY SURROUNDED BY OTHER VEHICLES. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY. I LEASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN AUG. 2014, THE LEASE ENDS AUG. 2017. I INTENDED ON KEEPING THE CAR AFTER THE LEASE WAS UP, BUT NOW I'M CONCERNED AND FEEL FORCED TO GIVE IT UP, EVEN THOUGH THAT MAY NOT BE THE BEST DECISION FINANCIALLY. AND IF I DO TURN IT IN, THE ISSUE COULD AFFECT THE NEXT OWNER.
