WHEN I FIRST START THE VEHICLE IT MAKES A LOUD WHINE NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 TO 5 MIN. THEN SEEMS TO GO AWAY. IF THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS IT WILL DO THE SAME NOISE AGAIN. DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALL THE SIX CYLINDERS MAKE THAT NOISE AND IT'S NORMAL. HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT MAKES A WHINE NOISE WHERE SOMETHING WASN'T WRONG ESPECIALLY AT AROUND 6000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT HAPPENS BUT IF YOU DRIVE OFF RIGHT AWAY THE NOISE CONTINUES AS YOU'RE DRIVING. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME BY CENTRAL FLORIDA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 8675 COMMODITY CIRCLE, ORLANDO, FL 32819 WITH AN OPEN RECALL. I PURCHASED AND DROVE THIS VEHICLE HOME ON 8/20/2016. THIS CAR WAS A NEW VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD WITH AN EXISTING RECALL. WHEN I CALLED TO EXPLAIN THE CAR HAD A RECALL, THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS NEW AND THE PART TO CORRECT IT DID NOT EXIST AT THAT TIME.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 4 OR MORE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AFTER TAPPING THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AFTER LEAVING WORK AND STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT HAS DIED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE A CURVE AND ALSO ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN TAPPING BRAKES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED. EACH TIME I WOULD HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.

THE CAR SIEZED UP COMPLETELY I HAD NO CONTROL I BARELY WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS LUCKY. THE CAR RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SPENT 3 FULL DAYS DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NOTHING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE SIMILIAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. AND THE SAME THING IS SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN.........NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM THUS NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD AT ANY TIME DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT IS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN I DO NOT WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE.
