2013 Chrysler 200 Body & structure Problems

I was parked in a parking lot backing out of a space. I was too close to the right curb so I put the car in drive to go forward to straighten out the tires. The gas accelerated abruptly and would not stop when I pressed the brake. The car jumped the curb/sidewalk and plowed into the parked car in front of me. The gas continued to accelerate pushing the vehicle in front of me about 5 feet back. The car did not stop until I jammed it into park. My bumper was ripped off when backing up was caught in the grill of the vehicle it collided with. I had both feet on the brake pad trying to stop the car and it would not stop. A very frightening experience. I have read several posts on this acceleration problem and believe there should be a recall. Not a good experience to remember Chrysler by.

IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A CAR. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A LEGIT BUSINESS, NORTH AMERICAN AUTO GROUP. THEY ARE RIP OFFS. THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A CRACK WINDSHIELD AND TOLD ME I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WAS NOT MAKING MUCH OFF THE CAR FOR THEM TO FIX IT, THEY TOLD ME THEY WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THOSE, THE BRAKES STARTED TO GIVE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WENT BACK TO LET THEM FIX IT. THEY SAID THEY DO NOT DO BRAKES AND IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN MY WARRANTY, THAT'S UP TO ME TO GET CHANGED ON MY OWN. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR HAS LEFT ME WITH A DENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TIRES ARE HORRIBLE. THE STRUTS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND I NEED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED BEFORE I EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR.

THIS CAR HAS A BAD BLIND SPOTS IN IT, WHEN YOUR CHANGING LANES YOU HAVE BETTER MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOOK ALL THE WAY AROUND OVER YOUR LEFT SHOULDER BEFORE CHANGING LANES OR YOU WILL HIT THE CAR THAT'S BESIDE YOU, I COULD NOT SEE THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE AND I PUT MY TURN SIGNALS ON AND GOT HALF WAY OVER AND THEIR WAS A CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME AND THE CAR HIT ME ON THE FRONT PANEL AND THE DOOR, THEY CHARGE ME WITH IMPROPER LANE CHANGE AND I COULDN'T SEE THIS CAR IN MY MIRROR, WHEN YOU BACK UP IN THIS CAR YOU HAD BETTER BE CAREFUL CANNOT SEE WELL OUT OF THE CAR TO BACK UP, USING YOUR MIRRORS YOU STILL CANNOT SEE EVERYTHING.MAYBE THE MIRRORS SHOULD BE ONE SIZE BIGGER, SO YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE ROAD BESIDE YOU. THIS COST ME 2POINTS ON MY LICENSE, HADN'T HAD A TICKET IN 30 YEARS, COST ME 155.00 AND 1,100.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOK INTO, VERY POOR DESIGN ON THIS . I UNDERSTAND THEIR ARE RECALLS ON THIS CAR, BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTON ANYTHING FROM THE DEALER YET AND A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHEN DRIVING, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR; *TR
