Description of the problem | On 09/10 during rush hour. I was traveling north on the florida turnpike and all of a sudden my car kicks back and the car behind me almost hits me and then my car resumes to driving but the car would not accelerate no more the 60 mph. The engine light keep flashing and then started to beep. I keep driving with the hazard lights this was in the middle of the night as i almost got hit by a semi-truck because the speed all of a sudden started to decrease there was nowhere were i was able to pull over to the side then my speed decrease to 40 and once again it kicked back and almost got hit by another car since it was late at night already. Then all of a sudden i was unable to control the car as it started to die and the breaks were not working and managed to steer to the right and the car stopped as it almost hit a rail. I called emergency road side service and they towed the car to the planet dodge in miami and it was left there so they can service the car the next day. It was not until sat. 09/12 i was told it was the pcm main computer on the car and it was on back order and they did not know when they would have it available. Today 09/14 the dealership finally ordered the pcm but have no idea when it would be in to repair my car. God knows how many 2010 sebring chryslers are out there with this same problem since this pcm computer is on back order. My car is 5 years old this should not have happened i could have killed myself or some other innocent people on the road. I feel this is very dangerous and i could have killed myself. I believe this is a problem by chrysler and this should be on recall. I do not understand why i would have to pay for this faulted computer placed in my car this hazardous to anyone on owing this car. Please recall the pcm computer on any 2010 sebring chrysler. Let's save a life! |
