| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH APPROX 300 MILES BROUGHT FROM A DEALER'S INVENTORY IN KOKOMO, IN TO ONE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY, WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT 11 MAY ,2012..IT HAD BEEN ON THE PREVIOUS DEALER'S LOT, AS PART OF INVENTORY, I BELIEVE SINCE SEP,2011. IN TOTAL IT HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT 2 SEPARATE TIMES..TWICE IT HAS EITHER QUIT WHILE SLOWING OR DOWNSHIFTED CAUSING QUITE A VIOLENT THROW FORWARD OF PERSONS IN THEIR SEATS WHILE AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED COMING TO A STOP...IN THE OLD DAYS IT WOULD BE THE JERK YOU GET WHILE POPPING A CLUTCH TO GET A CAR STARTED WITH A BAD BATTERY.. THE THIRD TIME IT STALLED WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY...WE ARE NOW APPROACHING 1000 TOTAL MILES ON THE CAR WITH LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP...MADE FIRST VISIT TO A DEALER SERVICE 30 MAY 2012,..PCM CODE WAS UPDATED,BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM..HAVE HAD ONE JERKY DOWNSHIFT SINCE THEN ..THIS HAS BEEN THE RECURRING THEME OF MANY OF THESE INSTANCES WRITTEN UP ON BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MODEL OVER LAST 2 YEARS.. SIDE NOTE..THIS CAR HAS REMOTE START CAPABILITY ON THE KEY FOB..I NOTICED A RECALL LAST YEAR FOR SOME VEHICLES WHERE THEY NOTICED THE CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE A FOB HAD VIBRATED LOOSE, AND SOMEHOW WAS SENDING SIGNALS TO SOME COMPONENT IN THE CAR WHICH WAS CAUSING IT TO STOP...IE. NO CODES ASSOCIATED WITH A MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT...MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT TOO. TWICE ALSO, THE HINT OF AN ELECTRICAL SMELL HAS BEEN DETECTED...SAME SMELL I EXPERIENCED WHEN THE PCM ON MY 1993 FORD VAN COOKED ITSELF A COUPLE YEARS AGO..AT FIRST I WROTE IT OFF AS A NEW CAR THING..BUT COMBINE THAT WITH PRESENT AND PAST EXPERIENCES...WELL, THE CONNECTION MAY NOT BE COINCIDENTAL. *TR |
| 2012 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | WHILE DRIVING 15MPH IN A 25MPH ZONE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD ON A DOWNGRADE I ALMOST HIT AN ANIMAL AND COMING CLOSE TO ALSO HITTING A LOW CENTER MEDIAN BEING UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE MORE THAN 10 FEET OR LESS. INFORMED CHRYSLER AND AS OTHER PEOPLE STATED THEY WANT TO DO AN ADJUSTMENT AND DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM. I HAVE AND DRIVE OTHER VEHICLES AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANYTHING ELSE JUST THIS VEHICLE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT AND THE CUTOFF IS SERIOUSLY BAD. *TR |
