AS I WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 20 MPH WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (D), THE CAR DISPLAYED A MESSAGE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO THAT STATES SHIFT TO PARK (P) TO START. AS, THAT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN SO YOU CANNOT SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK UNTIL THE CAR HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, I SHIFTED MY CAR BACK TO PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T RESTART RIGHT AWAY. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A NOISE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO START WITH THE RPM'S FLUCTUATING TO ABOUT 3 (3000 RPMS) THEN GO BACK TO 0 THEN JUMP TO 1 (1000 RPMS) THEN BACK TO 0 RPMS WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD GIVE OUT. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE, WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THEN IT WOULD RESTART AND RUN NORMALLY AGAIN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE, DUE TO THE FACT OF HAVING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT GREW AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. LESLIE FROM CHRYSLER GAVE ME CASE ID #: 34798487. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF SILVER SPRING LOCATED ON 12511 PROSPERITY DR, SILVER SPRING, MD 20904 TO BRING THE CAR TO GET SERVICED AND THE ISSUE LOOKED AT ON AUGUST 7TH 2018 AT 10:45 AM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE SEE PICTURES ATTACHED FOR MORE INFORMATION.

EXACTLY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY CHRYSLER 200 NOV 28, 2017BTHE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING SHORT DRIVE TO THE MOVIES, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $400 TO REPLACE IGNITION COIL. THEN A MONTH AGO, 06/27/2018 ANOTHER IGNITION COIL FAILED COSTING ME $250, LUCKILY WHEN THE COIL FAILED I WAS IN LINE AT A STARBUCK'S DRIVETHRU. NOW ANOTHER COIL HAS FAILED LEAVING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AGAIN, AND NOW UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE DOES NOT COVER THIS PART AND AFTER RECENTLY READING REVIEWS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN CALLED OUT, YET THIS VEHICLE IS STILL BE SOLD TO PEOPLE. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE IN THIS LAST INCIDENT MY COIL WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DURING A HEAT ADVISORY. I ALSO STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE PART THE IGNITION COILS ARE FAULTY AND ARE CAUSE FOR GREAT CONCERN.

May 17, 2018

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
