EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, SE SIENTE RUIDO Y HALONEO, QUE SE SIENTE COMO SI SE FUERA A APAGAR. EL RADIO SE PUSO NEGRO Y DEJ DE FUNCIONAR. LUEGO EN VARIAS OCASIONES, EL CARRO NO PRENDE. ADEMS EL VEHCULO EN MARCHA, PRENDE EL CHECK ENGINE Y UN MENSAJE "SERVICIO DE TRASMISION". EN EL DEALER SUPUESTAMENTE LE CAMBIARON LA TCM DE LA TRASMISION, PERO LUEGO, EL VEHICULO VUELVE A PRESENTAR EL MISMO PROBLEMA, "CHECK ENGINE", SERVICIO DE TRASMISION". EN EL DEALER ALEGAN QUE SOLUCIONAN EL PROBLEMA, PERO EL MISMO YA SE HA PRESENTADO EN 3 O 4 OCASIONES. TENGO UN AUTO "LIMON".

WHEN GETTING INTO MY CAR IN THE MORNING OR AFTER WORK (ANY TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE), THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T COME BACK UP. I CANNOT PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR OR EVEN START THE CAR. I HAVE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH PEDAL FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL I HAVE A LITTLE PRESSURE TO EVEN START MY CAR. MY CAR STALLED OUT TWICE FROM THIS WHEN ENTERING A PARKING GARAGE AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 2-3 MILES THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO COME BACK TO NORMAL PRESSURE AND I CAN SHIFT FINE AT THAT POINT.

AS I WAS APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, MY CAR LOST POWER AND DID A HALF SHUT OFF (LOST POWER ITEMS, BUT DID NOT ACTUALLY LOCK THE STEERING OUT AS IF THE CAR WAS IN PARK). I WAS STILL MOVING AND WAS DOING APPROX. 20-25 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC WERE ALL LOST AND THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEREO SYSTEM (SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF IN THE CAR.). I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STOPPED AND PULLED OVER TO A TURN LANE THAT WAS NOT IN USE WITHOUT GETTING HIT. ONCE I GOT THE CAR STOPPED, IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE CAR. IT ALSO HAS HAD 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' ERRORS AND GAVE US NUMEROUS ISSUES ON CHRISTMAS DAY AS IT WOULD NOT START WHEN WE WERE HEADED HOME. EACH TIME, THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 92 DAYS WHILE THEY REWIRED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE, EVEN AFTER HAVING THE ELECTRICAL REWIRED, THE CAR IS STILL SENDING ERROR MESSAGES AND NOW SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED. *TR

WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WILL START TO SHUDDER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND WITHIN A MINUTE THE ABS SYSTEM WILL TURN ON. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM TURNS ON, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL THE BRAKING TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, FROM 20 TO 30 MPH UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT 70 MPH. YOU CANNOT SHUT OF THE ABS SYSTEM WITH THE SAFETY SWITCH WHEN IT TURNS ITSELF ON. WE HAVE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS SEEM TO WORK. WE HAVE TURNED OFF THE ABS SYSTEM WHEN WE HAVE STARTED THE CAR, BUT THE COMPUTER IN THE ENGINE WILL OVERRIDE THIS AND HAS TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, IT STARTS TO TRY BRAKING AGAIN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED CHRYSLER TO FIND OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY WERE TOLD TO CHANGE THE IGNITION COIL POWER PACK, WHICH THEY DID. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US, IT STARTED THIS SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. THE LAST TIME WE TOOK IT IN (APRIL 2015) THE DEALERSHIP KEPT IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS DONE THIS TO US TWICE, BUT BEFORE WE COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, IT CORRECTED ITSELF. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? *TR
