“Takata recall I purchased this vehicle in july 2016. In november 2017, the vehicle began stalling and shutting off completely while I was driving. It loses power and a the screen tells me to shift to p to start vehicle. Sometimes it would start right away, other times it would take several tries for it to restart. There was no specific time when it would occur. I could just be pulling out of parking space or coming off the expressway after driving 30 miles or so. It would happen when I was turning left, right or going straight. …”

NHTSA complaint #11064091, filed 2018-01, 43,000 miles

“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. …”

“I took my 2016 Chrysler and it had 66,000 miles and they told me that the oil cooler was out and it was a known repair to the vehicle and I've been smelling like oil burning through the air vents on the car and they told me that they wouldn't cover it but I asked him I said well you say you repair these and it's unknown problem with these cars that the oil cooler fails and it leaks in the valley pan underneath the engine so you may not see the league for an extended period and you may not know it's even leaking until it builds up so heavy underneath that valley p.m. …”
