VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF OIL ALTHOUGH WE PERFORM ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE.

I AM ASKING YOU TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. YOU INVESTIGATED THE 2015 MODEL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED AS A RESULT. THE 2016 IS JUST AS DANGEROUS. IS THERE A REASON WHY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO DRIVE 2015 MODELS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE OR MY CHILDREN? IT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND LEAVES ME IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS! THE STEERING CUTS OFF TOO. I HAVE TO FIRST STRUGGLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING, SHIFT INTO PARK, PUSH START, AND WAIT, WHILE I BRACE MYSELF FOR THE IMPACT THAT IS ABOUT TO SHATTER MY SPINE OR KILL MY CHILDREN! IT BEGAN AS SOON AS I HIT 60K MILES A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I AM TURNING, SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING FOR A LIGHT, AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY TURN OFF, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT IS SUDDENLY IN NEUTRAL AND MAKES REVVING SOUNDS WHEN I HIT GAS BUT WONT GO, THAT'S WHEN MESSAGE SAYS 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION'. I WAS MAKING A U TURN AND ALMOST HIT A POLE! IT MAY START UP WITH FIRST TRY, OR A FEW TRIES. IT HASN'T HAPPENED IN HIGH SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY BUT THAT MAY BE BECAUSE I AM TOO AFRAID TO GO THAT ROUTE ANYMORE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I PAID CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A PENNY TO FIX THIS, BUT IF I OR MINE ARE INJURED I WILL SPEND EVERY CENT I HAVE ON A LAWSUIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT MATTER.

ALSO ITS GOING DEAD WHEN I TURN LEFT AND GIVING ME A MESSAGE (PERFORMANCE SHIFT DISABLED) TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON. THE BAD PART IS IM ALWAYS ENTERING AN BUSY INTERSTATE. ITS BEEN DOING THIS NOW FOR TWO WEEKS. THE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE IS WAY TO FAMILIAR TO ME. MY LAST CHRYSLER ONCE IT STARTED IT GOT WORST AND WORST AS WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2019. VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE CAR IS AT COLLEGE, OUT OF STATE, WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTER. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN HER AREA WILL NOT FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FOR FREE BECAUSE THE VIN # IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I'M AT A LOSS SINCE THE COST OF REPAIR IS HIGH. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY & SHE IS GOING TO SCHOOL ON SCHOLARSHIPS. DOES SHE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY BE HURT BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM-FREE? THE DESCRIPTION FOR THIS PROBLEM SAYS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE CAR SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS ON OR ABOUT THE DATE LISTED BELOW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MY 200 VEHICLE SHOWED AN AIR BAG LIGHT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, ABOUT MAY, 2016. THEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED SO I IGNORED IT. THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER AFTER MAY, 2016 DATE FAILED TO ADDRESS THE LIGHT. IT REMAINS ON TO THIS DATE. REPAIR ON TIRE THAT SHOWED A LIGHT WAS REFUSED ON JUNE 7, 2017. THIS TIRE LIGHT REMAINS A PROBLEM. NOW, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO UPHILL WITHOUT STALLING AND WILL NOT RUN WHEN IT RAINS. THE FUEL SEEMS TO BE BLOCKED BECAUSE I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS TO GO UPHILL AFTER IT STALLS. THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. NOW, I WARM THE VEHICLE FOR 10 MINUTES TO SHOW THE ENGINE IS READY. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FAILED EMISSION TESTING IN SEPT. 2019. THE TUNE UP DONE THIS MONTH DID NOT HELP. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHER MATTERS CAUSED THE EMISSION TESTING TO FAIL. MY COMPLAINT IS DIRECTED TO THE GAS PROBLEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL DASHBOARD PROBLEM FOR THE PAST YEAR ALONG WITH THE TIRE LIGHT.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LAST FEW MORNINGS. IT HAPPENED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT EACH MORNING. AS SOON AS I TURNED ONTO A ROAD, GOING 20-30 MPH, THE CAR JUST STALLS, SAYS "PLACE IN P TO START" AND THEN DIES. THE GEARSHIFT AND WHEEL LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. EACH TIME I HAD TO TRY AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED. ALL LIGHTS COME ON DASH, BATTERY LIGHT INCLUDED, BUT HAD BATTERY CHECKED AND IT IS FINE. TRYING TO RESTART, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF IT. TAKING INTO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. AFTER READING OTHER STORIES VERY SIMILAR TO MINE, I'M NOT VERY HOPEFUL.

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.
