“On january 13th 2018 at 5am in the morning the car went into a state of emergency to where I couldnt even break and lost control of the vehicle the transmission light then came on and the car wouldnt cut off for hours. Took the car to russ darrow Chrysler for suspensions issues and electrical malfunctions because they couldnt locate any codes for what I had saw on the car. Although my car was not on the recall list I had the same issues that other cars this type did have and it costed me $2989 for repairs”

“On 08/22/2023, I took my vehicle into an auto service repair center to have diagnostics done due to a creeking sound. I was worried something could be wrong, and should any issues not be addressed or resolved, I could do more damage by continuing to drive my vehicle. Unfortunately I was advised that the sound was due to a rear suspension knuckle issue, a part that can't just be repaired based on how it was engineered and that the whole thing would need to be replaced. …”

The safety of myself and others was at extreme danger. When finally came to a stop I couldn't put my car in Park, or back in drive or shut my car off, i beleive i had no braking or something electrical failed. My car is totaled. The only light on was the airbag light before the accident.”
