VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. I'VE REPORTED THIS BEFORE AND CHRYSLER INSISTS OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM NOR IT IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS WHILE SPEED CONTROL IS ON AND GOING DOWNHILL. THE RPM'S WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IN AN APPARENT ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE BY SHIFTING DOWN TO WAY TOO LOW OF A GEAR. OFTEN RPM'S WILL RACE NEAR 5000+ AND THE SCARIEST PART IS WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT RELEASE. I HAVE BEEN THE ONE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HALF A DOZEN OR MORE TIMES. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONE AND EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN SHE QUICKLY APPROACHED A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE AND THE SPEED CONTROL WOULD NOT RELEASE. SHE HAS BLADDER ISSUES AND PEE'D HER PANTS, LITERALLY. LUCKILY SHE HAS BEEN IN THE VEHICLE BEFORE WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND SHE THOUGHT QUICKLY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKE WHICH RELEASED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND ALLOWED HER TO GET HER COMPOSURE BACK. IT WAS A CLOSE AND SCARY CALL FOR HER. AGAIN, WE HAVE REPORTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND CHRYLSER SAYS OUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, WHICH IS A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPGRADE WHICH THEY HAVE AND DOESN'T COST THEM MUCH FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO APPLY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO SATURDAY LATE AFTERNOON MAY 18, 2019.

THERE IS OFTEN A SIGNIFICANT DELAY WITH ENGAGING DRIVE AFTER REVERSING AND COMING TO A FULL STOP. THERE IS SUCH A DELAY SUCH AS THE USUAL SLIGHT INCREASE IN ACCELERATION EXPECTED AND NEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD THAT WHEN DRIVE FINALLY KICKS IN IT CLUNKS AND JERKS UNTIL IT STARTS MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN, MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES. THE SHIFTING ALSO SEEMS JERKY SOMETIMES WHILE IN DRIVE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN THE LOWER GEARS. I SUSPECT SOFTWARE ISSUES OF SHIFT POINTS PERHAPS OR JUST BAD COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT COMMUNICATE TO MAKE THE SHIFTS OCCUR AT THE RIGHT TIMES. I MADE AN ACTUAL REPORT TO CHRYSLER WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR SO AT THE SAME TIME I REPORTED THE ISSUE WITH THE SPEED CONTROL NOT SHUTTING OFF (WHICH IS AN ACTIVE RECALL BUT THEY SAY OUR CAR DOESN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM AND IS NOT RECALLABLE) BUT NOT SURE THEY MADE NOTE OF IT IN MY VIN FILE. I AM GOING TO CALL THEM AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE PERSON SHOWS IN THEIR NOTES...

SECOND PROBLEM: THERE IS A MESSAGE TO SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMES ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WIT THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 5 DAYS. IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, IS A SAFETY RISK. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND AFTER PRESSING THE START BUTTON AGAIN, THE CAR STARTER WAS CONTINUALLY TRYING TO TURN OVER AND START, BUT DIDN'T. AFTER GETTING ASSISTANCE, THE CAR WAS FINALLY PUSHED OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FROM IT'S STALLED POSITION.
