RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSAXLE PARK ROD LATE APRIL 2015. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHERE INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED UNTIL AFTER MAY 1, 2015 NEEDED A SPECIFIC TOOL THAT HAD BEEN ORDERED. THEY DID INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS SAFE, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AFTER MAY 1ST. ON MAY 7, 2015 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN SHE SAID THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF AND WARNING BELLS STARTED GOING OFF. THE WARNING SAID "SERVICE TRANSMISSION" THEN WOULD FLASH TO "SHIFT TO PARK AND ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE". THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO HAVE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR WAS RUNNING BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM. THIS MESSAGE CONTINUED OVER AND OVER. SHE HAD TO GO OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC BEFORE SHE COULD GET TO THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE SPOT. SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT HAD TO DODGE TRAFFIC. ONCE SHE WAS STOPPED THE SHIFTER DIAL WAS STILL LIT UP THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE, SHE MOVED IT TO PARK BUT STILL WAS LIT UP THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SHE PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE SHIFTER DIAL NOW SHOWED TO BE IN PARK, SHE TRIED TO SHIFT TO ALL THE OTHER GEARS, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE DIAL STILL SHOWED IT WAS IN PARK. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. 2 DAYS LATER INFORMED THAT TRANSAXLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR/RECALL , IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY A WEEK TO COMPLETE. DISAPPOINTED AND VERY CONCERNED FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY .

ON MAY 3, 2015 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN, THE CAR STALLED AND I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF ALL STEERING AND BRAKING FUNCTION. I IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON MY HAZARDS AS CARS SWERVED LEFT AND RIGHT TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO ME. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T RESTART. AFTER SITTING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES, THE CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. AS I FINALLY STARTED TO GO, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE QUICKLY AND THEN SLOW DOWN. WITHIN 10 MINUTES, IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. IT DID THIS 2 MORE TIMES. SERVICE WAS CALLED AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE IT FOR ONE DAY. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MAY 6, 2015, IT AGAIN STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH AS I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. SERVICE WAS CALLED AND TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT AUTHORIZED DEALER. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY MAY 8TH THAT THE CAR WAS FIXED AND READY TO GO. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE HOME. BEFORE ARRIVING TO MY HOME, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AND AGAIN I LOST ALL STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. SERVICE WAS CALLED ONCE MORE AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SHOP IT WENT TO THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON MAY 3. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH, THE CAR SHUT OFF AS WE COASTED TO A STOP. CAR WAS INOPERABLE. WE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ALL ELECTRICAL FEATURES, INCLUDING THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB WERE INOPERABLE. WE GAVE IT TIME AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE A NUMBER OF TIMES. WE FINALLY SUCCEEDED HALF AN HOUR LATER. ALL APPEARED TO BE WELL. NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE, BUT IT IS A CONCERN OF OURS. THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND IT BEHOOVES ME THAT THERE IS NO LAW THAT MAKES THESE CAR MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING BACK THEIR VEHICLES. MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE, BELIEVING IT WOULD BE THE SAFER THING TO DO. I HAVE A TEENAGER, AN INFANT AND ANOTHER BABY ON THE WAY. IT IS SO SCARY TO HAVE BABIES IN A VEHICLE YOU NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN, KNOWING THEIR FRAILTIES IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. *TR

STOP AT A 3 WAY STOP STARTED TO PULL OUT AND THROTTLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD, NO RESPONSE AND IN FRONT OF ON COMING VEHICLES , FINALLY CAME BACK AND WAS ABLE TO CLEAR JUST IN TIME. NEXT MORNING, SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME WHEN IT CAME BACK IT WOULD NOT RUN BUT LURCH AND SPIT AND SPUTTER. BOTH STOP ENGINE AND CHECK ENGINE CAMS ON. TOWED TO DEALER AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT I INSISTED IT WAS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. THE DEALER KEEP IT FOR ANOTHER DAY AND HEARD NOTHING, THEN I RECEIVED A CALL THE THIRD DAY THAT IT HAD BEEN TEST DROVE AND DID NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE DEALERS LOT. SO I AM CONCERN ON THE SAFETY OF THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH HARDLY ANY MILES AND ISSUES RIGHT OUT THE GATE. I AM SEEING OTHER RELATED ISSUES OF THE SAME NATURE ON THE NET ALL HUGE SAFETY RELATED WITH THROTTLE RESPONSE. I AM HOPEFUL THAT IT DOES NOT TURN INTO SOMEONE LOSING THE LIFE OVER SOMETHING KNOWN. *TR

MY FINANCE AND I WENT ON TRIP TO TENNESSEE. ON THE EXPRESSWAY I WAS DRIVING AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN ON IT OWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT DROPPED FROM 70 TO 60 AND THEN TO 45 WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. IT STARTED SHIFTING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY ON IT OWNS. THEN I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT WENT BACK UP TO 70. ONCE WE ARRIVED TO TENNESSEE WE HAD TO GO UP MOUNTAINS AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL AGAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. AS I WAS GOING INTO THE MOUNTAINS THE CAR ALMOST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR KEPT SHIFTING GEARS EVEN WHEN I AM BARELY PRESSING THE GAS. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND START IT AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED STALLING THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASING IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSE TO THIS UNTIL IT DID IT ON THE EXPRESS WAY. I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. TALK ABOUT DISAPPOINTING. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WHERE EXITING THE FREEWAY OFF-RAMP, WHEN ALL OFF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED ON ME. MY KIDS WHERE ABSOLUTELY SCARED, THEY WHERE VERY NERVOUS WHEN A CAR ALMOST HIT US. ON ONE OCCASION A CAR CAME FROM THE SIDE SWERVING TOWARDS US HONKING NEARLY SIDE SWIPING US. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. MY FAMILY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, NEVER DID I THINK A BRAND NEW CAR WILL GIVE ME AN ABSOLUTE TURNAROUND ON THE SAFETY OUTCOME IT'S GIVEN US UP UNTIL NOW. I RECEIVED A LETTER ALONG WITH A PHONE CALL ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE MAKE AND MODEL THAT I PURCHASED (CHRYSLER 200) RECALL STATUS. I IMMEDIATELY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE FOLLOWING RECALL SERVICE: 14113 RO1 RECALL WC 0.50 REPROGRAMMED PCM AND TCM MODULE. THEN 14 DAYS AFTER THE SERVICE, THE CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY OF A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED AT THE IDEA OF DRIVING THAT CAR AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN WHILE SHE'S DRIVING ALONE JUST HER AND OUR KIDS. AT THIS POINT I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE IT COULD IT BEEN A LOT WORSE. I EXPECT A SPEEDY SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IN THIS VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER WITH A BETTER SAFETY RECORD. *TR
