Gator Chrysler service manager roger called this dealership and agreed to give me a new tire with road hazard warranty after I got a nail in my tires on his lot. The invoices will show this. The other tire they patched and roger after getting on phone with tire kingdom requested this come back to him. These original 4 tires, including the patched ones had matching dot numbers. The new one paid for by roger of gator chrylser melbourne, fl had an inmatched dot number, being from a new batch, also lesser tread wear compared to other 3. tire kingdom since has seen my car multiple times for tire punctures. I was told the car guys here are connected and nothing is for free. I was told they are pawns following someones directive. This is disturbing as it involves local organized crime, as even the police could not get away with this action legally. I saved tge patched tire and all records. Tire kingdom repeatedly with gator Chrysler of melbourne, fl sabotaged my car, tires since

When I turn my car off at night, my dash backlighting remains on 4 hours if not indefinitely. Also, the car will occasionally go from a normal reading to overheating on the instrument panel and it will remain overheating only on the panel for a few minutes before going back to normal again. The car has no other indications that it is overheating. There is no smell of antifreeze. The heat continues to work normally. There is no visible steam or other indication that the car actually does overheat. It appears to be a electrical anomaly. Lastly, the top half of my rear window defrost is no longer working. My car has 48000 miles on it and has been garage its whole life.

My airbag light stays on permanently. It used to come on intermittently. I have had the problem fixed twice by a Chrysler repair facility. I was told not to worry it's just a wiring harness problem. I'm scared because I've seen airbag recalls and I don't know why my car hasn't been recalled yet. My car also seems to be jerking more frequently. It jerks sometimes when I'm accelerating. I was told this was normal because of the type of engine. I inquired about this not long after I bought the car in 2015. The jerking seems to be getting worse. My check engine light stays on. I can provide info that my airbag sensor problem was fixed twice.

Takata recall: Where do I start. I have been having many issue with this car the latest issue which just happened my car wouldn't turn on and all the lights on the dash board would turn on the 'service transmission' 'serivce brakes' will turn and they would start flashing. When I would try to change gears my nobe would stay on park but the nobe would be turning! I would have to turn my car off and attempt to turn it back on then it would work. Now my brake is hard and my nobe will not turn my car stayed on neutral and now won't even turn on. Also before that the brakes system alert would go off from time to time. Other times my car would turn off out of nowhere. Overall my experience with this car has been bad.

I replaced the transmission axle harness back iin 2016 when I got the car. But not all of a sudden the ABS sensor keeps going out and it comes on and off after replacing it. I replaced it the car was fine then boom its back on. The car speeds up when I just be going 10 miles an hour and I have to slam on my brakes to keep it from going out of control. I almost had two accidents with this issue. And the dealership keeps telling me that recall was fixed but I dont believe it was. My car keeps trying to speed up with me just even pulling off from a parking spot. Its a Chrysler 200 S 2015. I think this car is horrible and I am stuck with this lemon

There's been an issue with my electrical systems for about the last two years. It's been giving a couple of signals of what's wrong with the vehicle but there hasn't been anything related to that issue( airbag service needed, steering sensor) and it has been draining my battery down and my battery is not even a year old. It had to be replaced last year because of that, luckily it was under warranty. But I've heard of these issues from the past that it's a possible recall.

Twice in one week my car stalled and quite once while driving on a main road with mild/moderate traffic. The second time was while stationary in a parking lot attempting to put my car in reverse. The service engine light will pop on and off periodically and the service parking break light and the transmission light will come on. This has happened several times before during the first recall for the electrical system. The car will stall and I have to turn it off to put it in park. It doesn't happen every time I crank the car, but often enough for my concern.

Three times in the last two weeks my car has turned off completely while driving. Each time it has happened as I was braking. Took several minutes to get the car re-started and left me stranded dangerously in the middle of the road. There has already been a recall for this exact issue which my car has been serviced for and yet it is still happening.

I was sitting in my car and notice the airbag light appeared and I knew I had just got it fixed at a Chrysler dealership that charge me $183 for diagnostics when they seen it itself. Also it keeps going on and off couple of days later my car would not start. It was not the battery because the lights were on there was no start for the click I waited about 20 minutes and it started something are wrong with these Chrysler cars it is imperative why a car should not start or airbag light keep coming on once they are fixed I will never bye a Chrysler again this is harmful to me and my children something needs to be done.

I have a file with a complete timeline with the incidents upon request. I am now beginning to really loose any faith in the Chrysler product and the corporate office. Still under power train warranty. But this last recall has thrown me over the edge of considering new company. I had an appointment with local dealership Chrysler for the safety recall that is still open. They couldn't get me in for 3 weeks. I make appointment bc my car keeps loosing ot power and dies or almost dies/.my car lost all of its power while I was driving down the freeway at a constant moving pace with other cars. My car looses all power and I cant even steer the steering wheel and I work into the middle lane. Where freight liner almost hits me in the [xxx] end and swerves to miss me and overcorrects and winds up almost going over the bridge with a concrete wall saving him from ending up on the lower freeway. Once we got through the shock of what just happened. I try to get car to start. It wont even kick over and I cant get it ot if neutral. I call Chrysler corporate bc if I could have gotten the recall fixed sooner this would have been prevented. They tow to Chrysler and we wait 2 more weeks while they get to the car. Meanwhile I am having to pay everyday for a rental car. Which was over $500 and I am a single divorced parent of 2 children. 1 child recently passed from a rare disease at age 7 and my only son just started college in conway and I am so proud and want to support him in this move. At the end of 2 weeks I go to pick up the car and I am billed for 300 for a new battery and diagnostic test. I ask about the safety recall & why is was not done when that is the xavcrt reason we made the appointment? they overlooked that and needed to go do that. This whole experience cost me more than $1000. With time I had to leave work and all their calls to the Chrysler.
