I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CAR. A CAR TURNED IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EVEN HIT THE BRAKES. SO THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT THE VEHICLE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER CAME OFF AND THE STEEL SUPPORT BAR AND THE FRAME WAS TWISTED. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I DID SUSTAIN INJURIES! THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAD WITH THIS CAR. I BOUGHT IT IN 2017 AND A WEEK LATER THE CAR STARTED DOWNSHIFTING AS I WAS DRIVING ALL THE TIME. IT WOULD STALL AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD S6ARTED THE RECALL PROCESS ON THE TRANSMISSION!! I WAS INFURIATED THAT I WAS NOT TOLD. AFTER RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I COULDNT USE IT WHILE THE RECALL STUFF WAS BEING DONE. AND ME BRINGING IT BACK AND FORTH 3 TIMES WITH THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTING! YET AGAIN THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED IN TRAFFIC AND WAS FORCED TO GO OFF THE ROAD. FINALLY THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. A YEAR LATER AND MY CAR STILL DOES NOT SWITCH GEARS RIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF!!! I AM NOW GONNA SUE THE HELL OUT OF CHRYSLER!!

ON JUNE 19 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15AM, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TO TAKE MY SON TO SUMMER CAMP. I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM MY JOB. I HAD JUST CROSSED A BRIDGE. MY CAR HIT A GUARDRAIL AND I SPUN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. I WAS NOT DISTRACTED OR ON MY PHONE. I TAKE THAT SAME ROAD EVERYDAY AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE AXLE AND WHEEL HAD COME COMPLETELY OFF. I WAS TOLD BY THE WITNESSES AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THAT THE CV AXLE HAD BROKE OFF WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL. I AM A SAFE DRIVER AND THIS WAS MY FIRST ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR FROM CARVANA AND IT WAS DELIVERED TO ME ON FEBRUARY 2ND. THE CAR WAS SERVICED IN JANUARY ACCORDING TO THE PAPERWORK THAT I FOUND IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE. I WAS NOT SPEEDING. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS MERGING OFF ONTO THE OFF RAMP SO I HAD ACTUALLY SLOWED DOWN. THAT AXLE SHOULD NOT HAVE COME OFF THAT EASILY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

I NOTIFIED THE DODGE RECALL CENTER A MONTH AGO ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ENGINE STALLS AS WELL AS PROBLEM CODES. THIS AFFECTED DRIVING AND PREVENTED REGISTRATION PER SMOG CHECK. I WAS MAKING A ALRIGHT TURN ON EL DORADO AND CLEVELAND STREET LAST THURSDAY, 3/21/2019 AND THE CAR LOCKED UP OR CUT OFF AND SLID INTO A GUARD RAIL AND CURB DAMAGING THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE BODY AND WAS UNFORGIVABLE. IT IS BEING INVESTIGATED NOW BUT THE FCA INVESTIGATOR INFORMED ME THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE UNTIL I SIGNED AND RETURNED THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT. UPON CALLING A MONTH AGO I PERFORMED A VIN SEARCH AND REALIZED THAT THERE WERE A FEW ELECTRICAL RECALL INCIDENTS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY WHICH WERE NEVER DISCLOSED WITH ME. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE DEALER EDITED THE DOCUMENTS TO SHOW A CLEAN HISTORY WHEN PRINTING MY PAPERWORK WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED OR COMPENSATED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER DOCUMENTATION.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 2015 200 FOR 3 YEARS AND SINCE I'VE HAD MY CAR IT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH ACCELERATING ON ITS ON. IT ACCELERATES WHEN YOU TAP THE BREAKS AND IT WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS ON TAKING IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. SO LAST WEEK MY CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WAS PUT ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH THEN ONCE THE BRAKE WAS TAPPED TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOCK UP AND ACCELERATE UP TO 90 MPH. THEN AFTER THE CAR PICKED UP SPEED THE WHOLE CAR LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN OR ANYTHING AND THE CAR ENDED UP HITTING A WALL. THE STATE OF WHAT CAUSE THE ISSUE IS UNKNOWN, HOWEVER I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN FURTHER FOR AN INVESTIGATION.
