ON SEPT 23, 2015 I TOOK MY CAR INTO ED VOYLES BECAUSE I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION OF MY CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BUCKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. I HAD TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL FOR IT TO STOP. THE SERVICE MECHANIC TEST DROVE MY CAR ON SEPT. 23 AND NOTED THAT IT WAS SHIFTING HARD BUT SINCE THERE WAS NOT AN OPEN RECALL FOR IT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. ON OCTOBER 24, 2015 I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL STATING THAT THE AN OPEN RECALL ON THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. I TRIED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITH ED VOYLES (THE PLACE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM) TO NO AVAIL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS FOR THE PART THAT I NEEDED AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL CHRYSLER LET THEM ORDER PARTS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS AT ALL! THE RECALL STATES "THIS MAY RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL OR A SHIFT TO NEUTRAL EVENT. EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND MY SAFETY AND MY LIFE IS AT RISK AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT WILLING TO FIX IT. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GET AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED FOR LEMON LAW VIOLATIONS IN THE STATE OF GA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 200. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V47000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WAS RECEIVED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE SAFETY RECALL LETTER SAID TO CONTACT IF THE DEALER COULD REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE SOONEST THEY CAN FIT MY CAR IN IS JANUARY 2016. THEY SAID THEY ARE OVERLOADED WITH ALL OF THE RECALLS AND THEY CAN'T DO IT SOONER. I'M 33 WEEKS PREGNANT AND I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD. I REALLY DON'T NEED THE ADDED STRESS THAT MY CAR, WHICH I BOUGHT NEW IN FEBRUARY 2015, COULD POTENTIALLY STALL AND CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THAT IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF SOMETHING DOES GO WRONG.

MY VEHICLE HAS NOW LOST POWER 2 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. BOTH OCCASIONS HAVE BEEN RIGHT AFTER LEAVING MY RESIDENCE. THE MAIN ROAD BY MY HOUSE IS A HIGHWAY WHERE VEHICLES TRAVEL ANYWHERE BETWEEN 55-70MPH. THE POWER IS LOST WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND AT ABOUT 20MPH MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE(KEEP IN MIND I HAD VEHICLES TRAVELING AT THE MUCH FASTER RATE OF SPEED AS STATED ABOVE). I ENDED UP PULLING ONTO THE GRASS MEDIAN. PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON. ALL SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. THE SECOND TIME I WAS AT THE STOP SIGN AT THE SAME HIGHWAY GETTING READY TO CROSS TO THE CENTER MEDIAN TO TURN LEFT. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IMMEDIATELY MY CAR STOP AND MESSAGES ABOUT A BRAKE SERVICE AND SERVICE TRANS STARTED FLASHING ON MY CONSOLE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. ALL WAS FINE AFTER THAT. WHAT CONCERNS AND TERRIFIES ME IS WHAT IF I HAD LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTIONS WITH VEHICLES COMING TOWARD ME AT 70 MPH? THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THE ISSUE IS FIXED. I'M TAKING MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND INSISTING IT EITHER BE FIXED OR THEY GIVE A LOANER. I WILL NOT PUT ME OR MY FAMILY AT RISK.
