“Pulling onto a major busy highway my car shut off completely and would not restart. After spending $533 dollars in june for a electronic throttle control sensor, I'm now being told I have to pay $1300 to have the totally intergrated power module replaced which afterwards I may have to replace a power sensor. Of course, they won't know if the 3rd part is need until they replace the 2nd.”
NHTSA complaint #10897889, filed 2016-08, 119,000 miles“The car accelerates and if I hit a bump or anything in the road my car will start to sway back and forth and has actually spun me around in a 360 motion on more than one occasion. Sometimes you dont even have to go over a bump or anything it just shakes and sways. It does it on any roadway, any condition. Its a death trap. I have almost been in very bad accidents 3 times because I lost comtrol because of the swaying. Once was a near head on with and 18 wheeler. Chrysler need to do something about these cars.”
NHTSA complaint #11163405, filed 2018-12, 84,000 miles“The car has started to overheat and heater did not work but that has since started working on its own. Now car overheated and when driving it sounds as if water or something is trying to go through pipe but maybe isnt also started to leak all coolant. And battery is being drained. Had the car checked and replaced thermostat but that didnt fix issue.also when driving all lights on dash turned on and started to beep. Was just arriving at a store and when I came out car did not turn on. Had a tow truck come out and they jump started me and said something was draining my battery. …”
NHTSA complaint #11307972, filed 2020-02, 155,263 miles“My 2011 200 gave no signs of having any problems, started right up on the first key turn, I went to go leave the parking lot of where I was but as I pulled out onto the busy road and started accelerating, the car stopped going faster and instead started to only rev as I pushed on the gas pedal. Cars were approaching behind me so I pulled over to the side of the road, just in time for my car to indicate it switched itself into reverse. At this point I start panicking unsure what was going to happen next. My car was at about 5 MPH at this point when the engine just died. …”
NHTSA complaint #10891742, filed 2016-07, 31,841 miles“The vehicle stalls while driving. This is a very dangerous situation as 3 times it has stalled at 50 +MPH and this has occurred on the highway. Another stall occurred on a curvy state road on a bend with no shoulder. No warning light of error code has been produced by the vehicle.”
