Have had car less than a year. Air bag lights constantly come on and I have to get it repaired - light is on while driving and while stopped. Light came in the day I got the car as I was leaving the lot and they refused to do anything for it. Also the car keeps stalling. Had the battery replaced and alternator checked, which is running almost like brand new. The car still stalls while driving it with no warning signs at all. No lights are on it will just happen, again, with no warnings. Everything gets locked up and I can't even put the car in neural to back it out from the middle of the street. The car can barely handle highway speed limit of 70, the bumps or groves in the road almost feel like it's pushing the car and it will spin out (this is in dry warm weather). I've checked the tires they are fine. The entire suspension is bad and needs replaced. The charging systems for your phones don't always work, it's off and on. The chargers work just fine in the house so it's not the cords itself. Was shown the carfax before buying and there are no accident reports.

I am still having transmissions problems, transaxle, and smelling smoke smell inside cabin. I feel very unsafe in driving this car. I have taken this car more than 2 times and the recalls stated that the transmission should be replaced and I have no evidence that it has been done. Yet each time I have taken the car with the complaint that the car is shifting hard, & into neutral unexpecting it has not been repaired. Transaxle is a contributing issue to my premature tires wear of my front tires and issues of the wheel barrens and unable to get a alignment. I have been told that I need struts and wheel bearings that is hard to believe with less than 30, 000, miles. This car has 58,175 miles. I cannot or have no intention in purchase of another car. Yet I feel that what safety recalls that was required were not done why can't I see what the recalls were. Service dept. States they can't duplicate the concern yet there are thousands stating that they have the same issues. It is currently located at tomball Dodge, in tomball tx 281-351-2000

While driving on expressway from Michigan to Nebraska car was making loud noises from suspension/tire area and took car into repair shop for inspection before driving any further. Was told that car had 4 blown out struts and front right wheel bearing. They said this was unusual since the car only had around 47,000 miles on it and a newer vehicle for such extensive damage and told must repair as car was unsafe to drive and could cause an accident. Repair was $2,000 for parts that should not have been bad on a car under 50,000 miles. Searching vehicle online and saw that Chrysler had recalled 700,000 of the same make/model in 2015 for faulty/defective struts and front wheel bearing. I checked my VIN and there were no recalls listed. I find it strange that 700,000 vehicles were recalled for the very same issue we had with our car for the same make, model and year. I called Chrysler and they only said my VIN did not have any recalls and I could report it on this website. This is not right that our vehicle was not included in the recall as this could have resulted in an accident and also should not be our fault to replace on a newer vehicle if the parts were known to be bad. I have also seen other recalls listed for same year/make/model with transmission which once again our vehicle has symptoms yet not included in this recall either. It seems like an error has been made here and needs to be corrected.

Car started making an awful clanking noise when turning. Had three (3) different places look at it and they all said it was the transmission. Took it to spitzer Chrysler in brook park, oh who said it was everything but the transmission. They wanted to charge me more than the car is worth. Had it towed to a different Chrysler dealer as it's undrivable and leaked all it's transmission fluid out.

This vehicle has a shudder and a jerking motion at approximately the 28 to 35 mph range. Also switching the gears from neutral to drive or reverse will freeze. Have to shut the vehicle off and try again. As far as the suspension, the left rear has made a sound almost from the beginning when vehicle was purchased. It makes a clunking sound if going over a bump, or hit a deviation in the road. Was told for the longest time couldn't find anything. Now all of a sudden 1 shock is bad.
