“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”
