VEHICLE ON THREE ISOLATED OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST WEEK HAS LUNGES FORWARD WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, ANOTHER INSTANCE AT A STOP SIGN AND AS OF TODAY WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP DRIVE THROUGH. ON EACH OCCASION MY VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR ROUGHLY A MINUTE, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SELF REV TO 3500 RPM. ON ALL OCCASIONS I HAD TO IMMEDIALTY PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL TO PREVENT CATASTROPHIC ENDANGERMENT TO MYSELF, SURROUNDING VEHICLES AND PERSONS. THIS CONDITION IS A DETRIMENT TO HE SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER DODGE REFUSES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO ME FROM CARSTAR OF MACON WITH A KNOWINGLY INOPERABLE TPMS ON ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES. I WAS NOT TOLD THIS BEFORE I PAID AND DROVE AWAY. I GOT 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AND FELT VIOLENT SHAVING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED AROUND AND DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO CARSTAR AND WAITED ABOUT 20 MINUTES FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE TPMS WAS INOPERABLE. THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT ALL FOUR SENSORS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT ONE HAD ACTUALLY FALLEN OUT INTO THE TIRE ITSELF AND WAS BOUNCING AROUND IN THE WHEEL WELL KNOCKING OFF THE ALIGNMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THEY GAVE ME AN OPTION OF FIXING IT OR REMOVING THE SENSORS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO CONTACT MY INSURENCE COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE DAMAGED PARTS THAT WERE OPERATING NORMALLY BEFORE THEY SWITCHED OUT THE NEW TIRE WHEELS. AGAIN THEY RELEASE THE VEHICLE TO ME WITH AN INOPERABLE TPMS SYSTEM AND ADVISE ME TO DRIVE OVER 60 MPH.

IVE HAD ISSUES THAT I AM REPORTING TO THUS SITE. DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN DIDN'T MATCH. MY ESP, ABS, AND BAS LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ON ECU FLASH WITH NEW SOFTWARE BY RECALL, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID ONLY POLICE PACKAGE VEHICLES WERE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. IVE RESEARCHED COUNTLESS HOURS TO FIND VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. NOW I AM NEEDING TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. FROM WHAT IT STATES ON THIS WEBSITE, MY RECALL WAS ORDERED BACK IN MAY, 2015. FROM THE INFORMATION THAT I READ, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A 60 DAY TIME SPAN WITHIN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX MY AIRBAG ISSUE, AND THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER FALLS UNDER THIS RECALL ORDER, I BELIEVE THAT I WAS PREVIOUSLY MISLED BY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP ABOUT THE ISSUES PERTAINING TO MY ABS, BAS, AND ESP ISSUES WHICH REGARD A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT CAUSES ME TO LOSE TRACTION, TROUBLE BRAKING IN MOIST TO WET WEATHER, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL OPTION HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THE ABS, BAS, AND ESP LIGHTS FIRST CAME ON 2 YEARS AGO, WHEN MY WHEELS LOST TRACTION WHILE PULLING INTO A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY AT ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR.I DROVE OFF ROAD ACCIDENTALLY TWICE IN THE PASSED YEAR: THE FIRST TIME WAS CAUSED BY A LACK OF ABS AND A BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM WHICH CAUSED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER. THE SECOND TIME WAS DUE TO LOSS OF TIRE TRACTION WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN WHILE IT WAS RAINING, CAUSING ME TO SPIN OUT INTO A 180 DEGREES TURN TO WHICH MY TIRES CAUGHT TRACTION AND I ACCELED THROUGH A WHITE PICKET FENCE ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET WHILE MY FOOT FIRMLY JAMMED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TRY AND PREVENT PERSONAL OR EXTERNAL DAMAGE. STILL DAMAGING PASSENGER FENDER AND FRONT GRILLE. I'M CLOSE TO REQUEST OF A DEPRECIATED FINANCIAL REIMBURSEMENT ON VEHICLAL. MY SAFETY, SECURITY, AND TRUST HAS BECOME COMPROMISED.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 40+ MPH I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY, THE DODGE CHARGER DID NOT REACT AND KEPT ACCELERATING AT THE NORMAL RATE BEFORE I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. SINCE IT WAS NOT REACTING TO MY INPUT, I TOOK MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING AT A CONSTANT RATE. THEN AFTER TWO SECONDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL THROTTLE, AND CONTINUED TO SPEED UP AT FULL THROTTLE. BRAKES WERE PRESSED BUT SEEMED TO HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON THE VEHICLE'S UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. FINALLY I DECIDED TO PULL OVER TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, LUCKILY, NO CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TIME TO PULL THE CAR OVER BEFORE I CAME TO THE UPCOMING RED LIGHT/INTERSECTION. *TR

THIS IS NOW THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE IN GEAR. GALEANA IN FT MYERS HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE AFTER EVERY INCIDENT. WE HAVE BEEN OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR AN ACCUMULATIVE OF OVER THIRTY DAYS, HAD TO PAY FOR RENTALS, TAXES, GAS TO GET TO AND FROM THE DEALER AND BOGUS REPAIR COSTS. THE FIRST SERVICE CHARGE WAS THAT OF 500 HUNDRED DOLLARS, WHICH THE VEHICLE STALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE TECHS SAID THE SERVICE THEY HAD DONE WOULD NOT HAVE FIXED THE STALLING!!???WHAT??. THEY THEN REPLACED THE RELAY FUSE WORTH FIFTEEN DOLLARS THE 2ND TIME IT WAS SERVICED, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWO DAYS AFTER HAVING IT BACK AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE VEHICLE! I NEED THIS DOCUMENTED BECAUSE THIS TIME DODGE CORPORATE RESPONDED IN LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS TO GALEANA TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AND A MAIN WIRE REPLACED AND IT HASN'T STALLED SINCE, BUT NOW I WANT REIMBURSE!!! *TR

WHEN IN GEAR AND VEHICLE IS MOVING, REVERSE AND DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL SEIZE, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND SPEED. WHILE THIS VEHICLES VIN NUMBER IS NOT RECOGNIZED ON THE RECALL LIST, WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECALL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH DODGE DID EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR BY PAYING THE REPAIR COST. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THAT 3 BODY SHOPS INCLUDING A CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THIS VEHICLES SEIZING PROBLEM. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT IS GOING INTO THE SHOP FOR SEIZING WHILE IN GEAR. IF SOMEONE IS INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS I HOLD DODGE JEEP AND CHRYSLER FULLY LABIAL FOR NEGLIGENCE AND POSSIBLE CONSPIRACY OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND FAILURE TO DOCUMENT ALL SUCH VEHICLES BY LEAVING THEIR VIN NUMBERS OFF THE RECALL FORMS. *TR

MY VEHICLES ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WHILE I WAS TAKING IT TO GET INSPECTED. AAA RAN A TEST TO FIND OUT AS TO WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOULD A PROBLEM WITH THE PLENUM, AIR INTAKE VALVE AND THE CAR NEEDED A REFLASH OR UPDATE IN THE CARS COMPUTER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE DOWN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PLENUM IS A COMMON FAIL PART AND IS A DEALER ONLY PART AND COST 969.00 TO REPLACE. AFTER HAVING THE REFLASH DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND FINDING OUT ABOUT THE PLENUM I RETURNED TO AAA TO FIND OUT IF THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM CHEAPER. THEY THEN CHECKED THE RECALL LIST TO SEE IF THEIR WERE ANY RECALLS. THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE WERE FOR THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM , THE INTERLOCK MECHANISM FOR THE CLUTCH, AND THE RADIATOR FAN. AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE REFLASH BEING ON RECALL I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND WAS TOLD RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC, EVEN THOUGH DISTRIBUTED BY REGULAR MECHANICS. AFTER FIXING THE ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM AND GETTING MY CAR INSPECTED, 3 DAYS LATER THE INTERLOCK MECHANISM BROKE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE THE CLUTCH TO PUT CAR IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING ARE ALL LISTED IN THE RECALLS BUT THEY CAN NOT FIX DUE TO RECALLS BEING VIN SPECIFIC. I PAID 478.00 FOR INTERLOCK TO BE FIXED. I HAVE TWO MORE ITEMS ON MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR RECALL AND I NOW KEEP GETTING A LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING SIGN ON MY DASH WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IDLE. I HAVE PAID FOR 2 OUT OF 4 RECALLS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT WERE NT DUE TO THEM BEING VIN SPECIFIC EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING MATCHES UP WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND WHAT IS BEING RECALLED. *TR
