I WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY SPOUSE AND I WAS TAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LUNGED FORWARD CAUSING US TO JERK BACK AND FORTH. I STILL HAVE LOWER BACK PAIN BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY SPOUSE NECK WAS HURTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT HAD YET TO BE RESOLVED. THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOCK AND I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT BRANDS OF GAS AND IT 'S STILL THERE. THE CAR STILL LUNGES FORWARD FROM A STOP EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAD AN UPDATE ON ITS SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT ROLLS FORWARD QUITE A BIT. 2 TIMES IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE. I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG ISSUE 5 TIMES AND TODAY IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT IS THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG. CONNECTORS WERE CHANGED AND WIRING 4 TIMES. CAR HESITATES A LOT ESPECIALLY FROM A STAND STILL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN I WAS TAKING A LEFT ON A MAJOR ROAD FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR ROLLED A LITTLE AND DIDN'T GO. IT HESITATED JERKED HARD AND WENT REALLY SLOW. A GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE TRANNY. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT MY CAR VIBRATES. I DON'T HAVE NO AC NOR RADIO ON AND IT JUST VIBRATES. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLERS STAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY VEHICLE JUST UPDATES. I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT SPENDS ABOUT A WEEK IN THE SHOP ONCE A MONTH SINCE APRIL. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT BUT THEY CAN HEAR THE RATTLING AND FEEL THE SOUND. I EVEN HAD ONE TECH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD DEAL WITH IT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING BUT STAR ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. YET AGAIN IT IS AT THE SHOP TODAY GETTING AN UPDATE AND THE AIRBAG BEING REPAIRED.
