| This is the third time that all the idiot lights on the dashboard come on and then we proceed to lose the power steering and brakes. chrysler's lemon law division states that they will fix it and that my issue is not a lemon law case. i simply have requested them to take the car back and have their engineering department take it apart to find out what is going on with i and to give me a new vehicle. each of the three times this has occurred, we have been extremely fortunate to be in a parking lot only traveling a couple miles per hour. this issue was suppose to have been resolved already and has not apparently. i no longer trust my safety and life nor the safety and well being of others on the road if i were to drive this car again. the only remedies that are acceptable to me are to remove all the electrical wiring and computers and replace them with new or to exchange the vehicle. i fear for my safety with this car. please note that i also have a 2011 chrysler 300c that has been fine with no major issues. *tr | |||

| First issue(s) occured in may of 2011 and have continued to date. over 25 visits to 2 dealerships for fixes, and no one can get a fix on it. first, it was the passive entry door handles, which have occurred 5 times and 5 fixes since last year. second issue was the power shutdown for the car, 3 dead batteries, and several issues concerning the uconnect system shutting down during driving. there has been a relentless amount of suspension and braking issues occurring. the issues include having to replace warped rotors, uneven balding tires(twice now), abs failing and traction control failing, uneven door seams, flaking and chipping paint(especially between body panels), and now brakes again grinding sideways in the calipers. there has been so many issues, that i had to contact a lawyer, which is now presently on it's 97th day of submittal to get this vehicle rectified. i've also had the vehicle in the chrysler star customer satisifaction program since jan. of 2012 at 8,012 miles and they were not able to warranty the rotor issue, which has forced us to have the rotors changed it at another service, not being a dodge dealer. the car is currently being looked at for bad sway bar link bushings and several other bushings showing dry rot prematurely. i've also experienced the trunk poping open in mid driving, which has been the only thing besides the 5th door handle replacement that has worked since purchasing it. recently, the cars transmission would not shift out of 2nd gear and was forced to pull over and restart it on a major highway. | |||

| The first week i got my car the brake light came on while i was driving. my car was ordered for me and took a little over two months to be delivered. the brake light comes on, flashes and then goes off at unpredictable times. i have taken it to the dealer 4 times but they never put that compaint on my sheet. they keep saying the computer isn't showing anything wrong. i also had a problem with the car keyless entries not working, they replaced the door handles and now they work. the car has also locked me out on three seperate occasions. once with my 1 year old son inside and the key was inside as well, had to jimmy door to get in. also my seatbelt sticks. if i drive over 20 minutes i have to unlock lock and unlock again to get my seatbelt to open. | |||
