Car does the following at random- when driving at low speeds it dies, sometimes when pulling into parking spaces the engines surges and causes car to lunge forward. once when i backed out of my driveway and put the car in drive it surged and lunged forward. the engine, on several occasions has idled very roughly, the engine light stayed on once and the other time it flashed 5 or 6 times and quit. noe the motor in the rear window is defective! i have had this car to the dealership 6-7 times for this problem and they can't duplicate the problem.the lemon law in tennesse requires 4 visits for the same problem, have exceeded that by far! i am done with dodge/chrysler and all their products. i will buy a foreign car befor i ever buy another product from them!!!*ak |
