Journey 4-cyl

  • 10,000 miles
I was traveling on a very busy highway going 50 miles an hour. I noticed a lot of congestion ahead so I had to lean over because the car has bad blind sites due to headrests on all seats. When I turned back there were many cars stopped dead in front of me. I slammed on the brakes but didn't even slow down. I rear ended the car in front of me. My air bag did not deploy nor did my seat belt even tighten. My entire body especially on the right side slammed the steering wheel. My knee slammed the column or something underneath the steering column. I have a permanent mark. I had a small punctured lung on the right side and my right shoulder and arm were injured which has now turned into rsd. Extremely painful. I had Chrysler test it but will only send me an email saying no problems. No report. Just an email saying exactly that.

I recently took a trip to pigeon forge tennesee from charl3ston West Virginia. The speed most of the drive was 65mph. My vehicle only has 43,000 miles on it. I bought it used but that doesn't mean that the brakes should already be wearing down. Braking down hill at 65mph the brakes seemed to almost be pulsating but felt like the rotor may have been warped and the sound was horrible! I felt the vibrations every time I would brake. I don't know what to do about it as I just spent a lot of money on the car itself! city driving is not as bad but it is still concerning that interstate speeds may be an issue.

I had an accident this passed July 4, 2020 where I had no brakes. That experience will never be forgotten (pstd). I traveled that day 110 mile on the freeway and reached my destination stopped to check address, then turned slowly into a driveway. My friends pulled their car up so I can park behind. I pulled in pressed on brakes and realized there were no brakes when my foot went all the way to the floor and car started accelerating. My friends drive is on a decline. Very hilling area in harrison mi. I starting praying asking god to not hit their car, then not hit their houses and I saw bushes thinking they would stop me. But to no avail the car drove through them just missing a telephone pole. My car headed back to the street going towards the house across the street. I am still pumping the brakes. So I turned to my left and went thru a wooded fence hit a stone stump and went sailing (according to the neighbor of the house) four feet into the air and came crashing down on a tree. In my mind I was thinking this tree will stop my car praying not ending my life. The car hit the tree and landed on the ground proceeding to the street again. I am now driving down Dodge hwy with oncoming traffic on the wrong side of highway. I put the car in park but the car still did not stop. A street was coming up on the left side and I turned to get out of traffic and this street was going uphill and the car stopped. The car has been with dealership since July 6,2020 and 5 weeks later on August 17, I received a letter from fca stating "we are not led to believe that the incident was due to a manufacturing responsibility."

When pushing the start button the vehicle continues to turn over but takes awhile before it cranks and it usually happens when it's a cold crank and it's been sitting for awhile I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump.also whenever your getting in and backing out the brakes squeak pretty bad and this vehicle has less the 25K miles on it.
