VAN HORN CHRYSLER AND DODGE IN PLYMOUTH WI. SOLD ME A VEHICLE THAT WAS IN A MAJOR FRONT END ACCIDENT. WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE AIR THE AIRBAG WAS NOT ATTACHED. THE STEERING WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THE SUSPENSION WAS SEVERELY DAMAGE, IT WAS SO SEVERE THAT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER, I SPEND MONEY THERE TO GET THE PROBLEMS REPAIRED. BECAUSE VAN HORN WOULDN'T PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. AFTER CHRYSLER COULDN'T MAKE THE REPAIRS, BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER. CHRYSLER REFERRED ME TO THE BODY SHOP, WHERE I WAS OUT OF POCKET FOR ANOTHER ADDITIONAL REPAIR. I ALSO FORWARD THIS INFORMATION TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANT 1-888-992-1997.

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2015, IN THE MORNING AT 7;30AM, HEADING TO WORK. HEADING TOWARDS THE PA TURNPIKE. MY CHRYSLER 2012, HARD-TOP CONVERTER CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN/ STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. LAST YEAR, IT HAPPEND IN FLORIDA AS WELL. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IN FLORIDA, AND THEY DID NOT FIND A CAUSE. IN BOTH INSTANCES, I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I'M CONCERN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR BOTH ON THE LOCAL ROADS; AS WELL AS, THE HIGHWAYS. I MOSTLY USED THE PA TURNPIKE TO GET TO WORK EVERY MORNINGS. THE OTHER COMPLAINT I HAVE AS WELL IS IN THE CHANGING OF THE GEAR STICK (FROM PARK TO DRIVE, AND VICE VERSA). AT TIMES, IT IS SEEMS TO BE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE GEAR. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DRIVE SYSTEM SO IT SHOULD NOT BE SO HARD IN CHANGING GEARS.

WE GOT RECALL P25/NHTSA 14V-234 I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN GARDEN CITY LONG ISLAND ,NY TEL 516 292 9764 TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, I HAVE BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES FOR OIL CHANGE. I REQUESTED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THERE RESPONSE- 1- OH WE DO NOT HAVE PART IN STOCK, WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE GET THE PART, 2- ON THE PHONE THEY KEEP TRANSFERRING THE LINE, FINALLY I END UP WITH LEAVING MESSAGE, BUT NO CALL FROM THEM. 3-THEY KEEP YOU ON HOLD SO LONG THAT YOU HAVE TO HANG UP THE PHONE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL THIS DEALERSHIP IS ARROGANT, IRRESPONSIBLE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND DANGER TO THE CAR OWNERS. I HOPE YOU TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. I MIGHT BE ONE CASE BUT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF MINI VAN LIKE MINE. THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED CAR LOT, JUST A MONTH AGO. SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALLS ON IT. AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN BEEN FIXED, I HAVE A 2 YR WARRANTY ON IT. DO THEY FIX OR SOMEONE ELSE. I'M SCARED ABOUT THESE RECALLS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER 200. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DETAILS OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES LOUD "POPPING" NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STEERING COLUMN IS GOING TO SNAP. IN ADDITION, I HAD TO HAVE ALL OF MY LIFTERS REPLACED IN THE ENGINE DUE TO A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. LASTLY, THE LEATHER MATERIAL IS COMING OFF OF ALL OF THE DOORS IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED. I DESPISE DRIVING THE CAR AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER.

WHILE DRIVING THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEGAN TO FAIL. RADIO, ABS SYSTEM, WINDOWS AND AC ALL SHUT OFF. THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND ENGINE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. BRAKING AND STEERING SYSTEMS BECAME COMPROMISED BEFORE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND COASTED TO STOP ON SIDE OF ROAD. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES FROM BATTERY LIGHT GOING ON TO THE CAR BECOMING TOTALLY NONRESPONSIVE. CAR WOULD NOT START, UNLESS JUMPED. REQUIRED TOW. DEALERSHIP STATES THE ISSUE WAS AN ALTERNATOR THAT SHORTED, AND IN TURN BURNED OUT THE BATTERY. REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 (BEFORE NEGOTIATED DISCOUNT OF 10%).

I NOTICED AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2012, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR IN 2013. MY CAR STARTED HAVING HEAT COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. I IGNORED THIS ISSUE BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. ON MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE DEALER DIDN'T FILL MY OVERFLOW FOR THE ANTIFREEZE SO I HAD A FRIEND TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING THE ANTIFREEZE HE DECIDED TO TURN ON THE ENGINE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS THAT THE ANTIFREEZE BEGAN TO BOIL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER AND TOOK IT ON YESTERDAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM WHICH WAS SHORTED OUT AND THAT THE FAN WASN'T COMING ON LIKE IT SHOULD. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS $1275.00. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND THAT THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THIS ISSUE.
