AFTER A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS PURCHASED FROM ENTERPRISE, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY (WIFE AND YEAR TEN MONTH BABE). WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT. TURNS OUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. GOT THAT FIX AND THEN WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME ON THE HIGHWAY MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL. AT THE MOMENT THE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND WAITING TO GET MY CAR IN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHRYSLER, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A NEW CAR, BUT I NEED TO GET TO WORK AND A BUS CAN'T GET ME THERE. I HOPE THIS IS A SMALL FIX AND I CAN HAVE MY AIRBAG SYSTEM WORKING AGAIN. I WOULD FEEL SAFE. I HAVE READ AND HEAR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF NEW OWNERS WITH THE THE ISSUES AND DEALERSHIPS REFUSING TO SERVICE THE WORK, EVEN ON CARS WITH 30,000 MILES. PLEASE HAVE THIS LOOKED AT OR INVESTIGATED, IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS.

SINCE I'VE BOUGHT THE CAR, UPON ACCELERATING, STOPPING, PRETTY MUCH DOING ANY DRIVING THE CAR WILL BUBBLE UNDER AND JERK AS IF YOU'RE MANUALLY SWITCHING SHIFTS. IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS CAR AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO HELP BECAUSE THERE'S NO "CODE" THAT FINDS THE PROBLEM. MY CAR ALSO, WILL LOCK THE WHEEL WHILE I'M DRIVING, LOCK THE BRAKE AND GAS AND TURN COMPLETELY OFF AS IF THE BATTERY DIED AND I CAN'T PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR ANYTHING SINCE IT IS LOCKED. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MY TO BE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE CRASHES. THE CAR IS NOW SHAKING AND STILL HAVING A BUBBLY FEEL UNDER THE CAR AS IF IT'S HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING UP WHILE I'M DRIVING.

VEHICLE IS STALLING, COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF, LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS DONE IT AS 20MPH, 45MPH, GOING STRAIGHT, TURNING LEFT, TURNING RIGHT. THERE IS NO NOTIFICATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. THE ONLY THING I CAN TELL IT'S HAPPENING IS IT LOOSES POWER, STEERING LOCKS UP AND THE CAR DASH SAYS "SHIFT TO P TO START VEHICLE". WHEN I DO THAT, THE CAR TAKES AT LEAST 30-456 SECONDS TO COMPLETELY START BACK UP AND RUNNING. IT ACTS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO START BACK UP. I HAVE TRAVELLED COUNTY ROADS, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND IT HAS DONE IT ON EACH ONE OF THEM. THIS IS NOT OK AND SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE BLOWN OFF WITH NO RECALL. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THAT IS 99.9% OF THE TIME IN THE CAR WITH ME. I CAN NOT HAVE THIS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WITH NOTHING BEING DONE OR RESOLVED OF THIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES WHEN IT HAPPENS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING.

WE OWN A 2016 CHRYSLER 200 WITH A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE THAT IS BURNING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES. WE ARE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER ENGINEERS SAY IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THAT ENGINE TO USE A QUART OF OIL IN 750 TO 1000 MILES. THE ENGINE HAS DONE THIS SINCE IT WAS NEW. THEY REPLACED FOULED SPARK PLUGS AND EVEN COMPLETE CYLINDERS ON THE CAR. THE LAST TIME MY WIFE WAITED UNTIL THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE IT HAD USED 5 QUARTS. THE DEALER IS STILL GIVING US THE RUN AROUND AS IS MR STANDER AT CHRYSLER USA AND SERGIO MARCHIONI WHO CALLED THE DESIGNERS OF THE ENGINE 'DUMMIES'. RECALL THESE CARS NOW

AT 49,500 MILES MY 2016 CHRYSLER 200 "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME UP ON THE PANEL. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS A PASSENGER SIDE HARNESS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL AND NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED. HOW DOES AN AIRBAG HARNESS FAIL IN 2 YEARS. SOUND MORE LIKE A DEFECT.

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.
