ON APRIL 12 2013 WAS THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT STARTED WITH THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THEM OFF UNTIL I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SOMETIMES WON'T EVEN START UP, JUST FLASHES BLIND SPOT UNAVAILABLE. ALSO THE ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF AND SITTING IN DRIVE WAY. BOTH DOORS WILL OPEN HALF WAY THEN SUDDENLY START TO CLOSE WITH NOTHING BLOCKING THE DOOR. POWER STOW AND GO MALFUNCTIONS ALL THE TIME!!!!. THE VEHICLE IS PUTTING OFF A VERY HEAVY GASOLINE SMELL NOW WHEN IT STARTS. I FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS POSSESSED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION. THEY ARE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER EVERYDAY! *TR
