| 2011 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON JUNE 7, 2011. ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2011, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, THE VEHICLE HAD A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN TURN ON THE HAZARD WARNING SIGNALS. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY POWER WHAT SO EVER. THIS LASTED ABOUT ONE TO THREE MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE CAME BACK TO LIFE. ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, TWICE THE VEHICLE HAD TWO (2) COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. EACH TIME THIS FAILURE LASTED ONE TO THREE MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE CAME BACK TO LIFE. OCTOBER 3, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. OCTOBER 4, 2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 AM, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CAUSE FOR THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. THIS SAME DAY (OCTOBER 4, 2011) I DROVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAYS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HAD ANOTHER COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I HAD NO POWER ASSIST IN STEERING OR BRAKING, THE MOTOR WAS DEAD, ALL INSTRUMENTS WERE BLACK, COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FIVE SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE CAME BACK TO LIFE. AS A RESULTS OF THIS INCIDENT, THE RADIO SYSTEM WHEN IT CAME BACK TO LIFE WAS DAMAGED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE AND I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THEM PROOF THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THAT THE READER OF THIS COMPLAINT CAN UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS THIS PROBLEM IS AND THE DANGER THIS PROBLEM PRESENTS TO THE PUBLIC. AS A RESULTS OF THIS VEHICLES ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILER RIG. *TR |
