ENGINE STATED OVERHEATING. SOMETIMES WILL NOT START AND ACTS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THE ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER FAILED ON THE CAR AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YRS. I SEE A LOT OF REVIEW ON THESE PARTS FAILING MEANING THEY WERE MADE POORLY. YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO CUT OFF ON YOU WHILE YOUR DRIVING DUE TO THE AIR NOT BEING FILTERED TO THE ENGINE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS FAST.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER. DASHBOARD SAYS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, WHICH IT IS ALREADY IN DRIVE BECAUSE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (A FEW WEEKS AGO) I WAS IN TRAFFIC ON A MAIN ROAD AND I HAD JUST STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. TODAY IT HAPPENED AFTER I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND STARTED TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW OFF THE DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM IN SUMMER OF 2017. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER HAVING IT, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN MY HOMETOWN AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND BEGAN TO PANIC BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'FIXED' THE ISSUE. SHORTLY AFTER, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND TOOK A WHILE TO RESTART. EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY 'FIXED' THE ISSUE. HERE WE ARE JUST LAST WEEK, 08/15/2020 AND I'M DRIVING ON A MAJOR THRU WAY AND THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF AGAIN. THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY WARNING SIGNS, LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD/ REASON FOR ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. MY VEHICLE BARELY HAS 50K MILES. AFTER LOOKING UP MY VIN TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL (THERE ISN'T), I DID NOTICE THAT THE YEAR PRIOR (2015) SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ELECTRICAL ISSUE I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. THIS MATTER IS SERIOUS AS THE CARS TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND COULD CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I WILL UPLOAD MY PAPER WORK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST 2X. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE 8/15/20 AS I'M AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. I'VE CALLED TO REPORT THE ISSUE AT THE 888 NUMBER LISTED BUT THE PHONE JUST HANGS UP. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I LIVED IN NIAGARA FALLS, NY AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM JOE CECCONI'S CHRYSLER COMPLEX. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN CHARLOTTE, NC WHERE THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED.

WHILE IN MOTION THE PARKING BREAK CAN ENGAGE AT ANY SPEED AND IT'S PLACEMENT ON THE CAR ITSELF IS DANGEROUS AND JERKS THE CAR IF PRESSED WHILE MOVING THEREFOR COULD CAUSE EXTREME HARM. FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, ANY OR ALL PASSENGERS, OR DRIVERS NEARBY, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO A LOCATION THAT ISN'T NOT EASILY REACHABLE AND ALSO NOT ALLOWED TO EVEN REMOTELY ENGAGE WHILE MOVING. I ONLY OCCURRED WHIPLASH AND MY FAST THINKING AND LUCK OF HAVING THE ROOM TO SLOW DOWN, BUT OTHERWISE IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD NEVER ENGAGE U LESS THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED AND DEFINITELY NOT AT SPEEDS UP TO OR OVER THE SPEED LIMITS.
