AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I STARTING DRIVING FROM THE INTERSECTION THE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED GREEN. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE INTERSECTION THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR AND STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. MY WORK ASSOCIATE WHO WAS IN THE WITH ME SAID THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE I HAD JUST LOSS MY REAR-END. WHEN I GOT THE CAR TO MY PRIVATE MECHANIC HE SAID THE REAR-END WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALWAYS ON. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND THE CAR DEALER HAS NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 MONTHS. NOTIFICATION CODE-P40

GEARSHIFT LOCKS IN PARK. UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES. FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT 30 MONTHS AGO AND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. HAPPENS IN STATIONARY POSITION.

GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK

FILLED UP TANK AT GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT FELT SLUGGISH. STARTED A RIGHT TURN AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN! THIS REALLY SCARRED ME AS IT WAS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! I RESTARTED AND STALLED A BLOCK LATER. I TOOK CAR TO A MECHANIC TO TEST GAS AND HE FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE GAS. THE CAR RAN FINE THE NEXT DAY. ON 1-17-2015 I STOPPED AT COSTCO TO FILL UP, CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I STARTED TO PULL AWAY THE GAS STATION. CAR DIED ABOUT 5 OTHER TIMES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT OF COSTCO. THE CAR WOULD RESTART IMMEDIATELY. I DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE EXPRESS WAY AND DROVE 35 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE UNEXPECTED STALLING OF THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IN MY CASE, THIS SECOND TIME I WAS ON A BUSY PARKING LOT ON A SATURDAY WITH CARS TURNING AND CERTAINLY NO ONE EXPECTS A CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, OVER THE YEARS I HAD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WHERE THE STATION GAS PUMP WOULD STOP EVEN AFTER PUMPING LESS THAN HALF A GALLON. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE STATION AND I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER PUMP OR ANOTHER STATION AND IT WOULD FILL UP OK. *TR

WHILE THE CAR ITSELF HAS PERFORMED VERY WELL, I CAN NOT SAY THE SAME FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF THE NEEDED PARTS TO BE REPLACED. IN FACT THIS AREA HAS BEEN TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR OUT OF PARKING POSITION. THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED AUGUST 2009 AND IS HAPPENING AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ISSUE WILL SURFACE AND RECENTLY, I WAS IN A NOT SO NICE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE.

PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2012 WITH A 3 MONTH WARRANTY. 1 MONTH LATER LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING OCCASIONALLY. THEN WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON LOCAL HIGHWAY LIGHTS WENT OUT TOTALLY. PULLED OFF ROAD AND WAITED UNTIL THEY CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS "REPROGRAMMED". NO PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AGAIN. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY GO OUT TOTALLY AGAIN AT NIGHT DRIVING DOWN SOME DARK COUNTRY ROAD.
