ENTERPRISE AUTO SALES SOLD ME THIS CHRYSLER 200 WITH AN OPEN WARRANTY ON IT, WHICH I DISCOVERED LATER ON. FROM THE TIME I DROVE IT HOME, THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVING ERRATICALLY, SURGING OR RACING IDLE AND LURCHING FROM A STOPPED AND/OR SLOW MPH. IT HAS ALSO BEHAVED AS THOUGH ITS SUDDENLY IN IDLE ONLY ONE TO JUMP BACK INTO GEAR. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE TCM RECALL AND THAT HASN'T REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. THEN A NEW SAFETY RECALL WAS RELEASED AND THERE IS NO DATE ON WHEN THE MOST RECENT ISSUES WILL BE FIXED. I SAW THAT MY VEHICLE WAS POTENTIALLY LISTED UNDER THE CONSENT AGREEMENT'S BUY-BACK OPTION FOR OWNERS. WHEN I SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A BUY-BACK PROGRAM AND MY VEHICLE WAS NOT WITHIN THE CONSENT AGREEMENT. I REQUESTED ANOTHER DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OTHER DEPARTMENT. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR AND WAS FLATLY DENIED BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAD A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT. I HAVEN'T EVER DEALT WITH A CSR THAT HOSTILE. I'M SURPRISED SHE WORKS WITH CUSTOMERS. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE. DEFINITELY BUYERS REMORSE HERE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MORE THAN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO EITHER REPAIR OR REFUND THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD REPURCHASE IT FROM ME SO I CAN INVEST IN SOMETHING ELSE. AND AS A SIDE NOTE: I HAVE MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN ALL OF HE WORK ORDERS COMPLETED ON THIS CAR EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST SAFETY RECALL, AND ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER'S RECORDS, IT WAS REPAIRED BY A RENTAL COMPANY WHO IS NOW DEFUND. VERY SHADY.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY EVENING DOING 60 -65 MPH ON HWY 6 AND MY CAR DECELERATED LIKE IT TURNED OFF. I TRIED PUSHING THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED, THE ENGINE DIDN'T EVEN REV UP. I HAD WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY DASH. I TRIED UPLOADING PICTURES BUT THEY WOULDN'T ATTACH. I COASTED THE TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND MY CAR WOULDN'T DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE. I TURNED MY CAR OFF HOPING THAT WOULD HELP, BUT WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK. I GOT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. TODAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE GOING TO RESET SOME COMPUTER DRIVE AND I "SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO THIS AFTERNOON". I TOLD THAT LADY THERE'S A RECALL ON CHRYSLERS FOR THAT VERY ISSUE AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE THAT CAR UNTIL IT'S FIXED. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I'VE BARELY HAD IT A YEAR. SHE TOLD ME THAT RIGHT NOW THEY CAN'T FIX IT. IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT THEN CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BUY BACK ALL OF THESE CARS FROM THE PEOPLE GOT SCAMMED INTO BUYING THEM. I'VE HAD ENGINE TROUBLE FROM THIS CAR FROM DAY 1.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BOUGHT BACK BECAUSE OF A SENSOR AND HAD GONE THROUGH FULL INSPECTION AND WAS CLEARED FOR SALE. TWO DAYS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HAD ACCELERATED FROM 60-92 ON IT'S OWN. THE DEALERSHIP PUTS NEW PARTS IN AND EVERY TWO WEEKS AFTER I GET MY CAR BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR IS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. CHRYSLER HAS A TEAM TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK AROUND 10 TIMES AND IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST WEEK IT ACCELERATED FROM 72 TO 97 ON THE FREEWAY WHILE MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE CAR. WE ALMOST HIT A SEMI. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER IS ABLE TO KEEP CLOSING MY CASES AND TELLING ME THEY FIXED IT WHEN IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE GOOGLED ENGINE ISSUES ON THESE CARS AND FOUND MINE WASN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I AM PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR AN UNSAFE CAR THAT KEEPS ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.

Official recalls

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.

On July 23, 2015, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) launched Safety Recall 15V-461 to remedy security vulnerabilities in approximately 1.4 million model year (MY) 2013 through 2015 vehicles equipped with Uconnect head units (HU) 8.4A (RA3 radio) and 8.4AN (RA4 radio) manufactured by Harman International.On July 24, 2015, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query, RQ 15-004, to investigate HU security vulnerabilities and remedy effectiveness in the recalled population and to determine whether similar units have been supplied for use in other FCA vehicles.In an August 11, 2015 letter, FCA submitted a second Part 573 safety recall report expanding the scope of the Uconnect RA4 model radio to include additional 7,810 MY 2015 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured from September 18, 2014 through June 25, 2015 (Recall 15V-508).Scope analysis indicated that Uconnect radios installed in FCA vehicles not included in recalls 15V-461 or 15V-508 (subject recalls) are not equipped with built-in cellular access or short range wireless communication features and, thus, do not contain the security vulnerabilities addressed by the subject recalls. SUBJECT VEHICLES: MY2014 through 2015 Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Cherokee sport utility vehicles; MY2013 through 2015 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and 4500/5500 pickup trucks; MY2013 through 2015 Dodge Viper vehicles; and MY2015 Chrysler 200, 300, Jeep Renegade, Dodge Charger and Challenger vehicles.According to FCA, long and short range wireless vulnerabilities identified in the recalled vehicles could allow unauthorized third-party access to, and manipulation of, networked vehicle control systems.Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities, coupled with reverse engineering of networked microprocessor control modules, could result in unauthorized manipulation of vehicle control systems. This unauthorized manipulation of vehicle controls and systems could expose the driver, vehicle occupants or other highway users to an increased risk of injury.FCA and its network provider, Sprint, conducted a nationwide campaign to block access to a radio communications port that was unintentionally left open.On July 27, 2015, short range wireless vulnerabilities were also blocked.Finally, third party security evaluation and regression testing identified vulnerabilities that were either remedied by Sprint or through updates to the FCA Uconnect software.ODI identified a total of 30 complaints or field reports on unique vehicles submitted by FCA (29) or received by NHTSA (1) alleging incidents of theft from a vehicle or anomalous performance that the owner alleged were caused by, or may have been caused by, remote hacking.Twenty-six (87%) of these reports were submitted after a magazine article was published on July 21, 2015, describing the remote hacking of an FCA vehicle by researchers who were able to affect the operation of various vehicle control systems, including the service brakes, steering, throttle and ignition.Most of the complaints involved vehicle systems that were not safety critical (e.g., complaints related to radio, navigation system, or air-conditioning control) and did not affect vehicle control.Three complaints reported engine stalls.One owner reported sudden unintended acceleration allegedly related to hacking.None of the complaints or field reports reviewed involved the steering and braking vehicle control effects demonstrated by the research hackers prior to the recall.There were no confirmed incidents of hacking in any of the records reviewed by ODI.The remedies completed by Sprint and FCA appear to have eliminated vulnerabilities that mi
