Description of the problem | I complained to dealer within the first year i purchased (2009) about my car cutting off while driving. I had it checked, nothing found. This only happened once in a while and progressively got worse. By the time i had recall notice in august of 2014 this happened quite often. I have driven a mile and car would cut off up to 5 times!!! Sometimes i can go several miles and it not happen but its so bad now its pretty much every time i drive. When this occurs i cannot control steering or brakes. I had to rent a car to go out of town this past week. I pick my granddaughter up from school every day and i have nothing else to drive. I have contacted dealer many times who just put me off. They give me phone numbers for chrysler who never answer. I am sure the condition of my car is more critical than most of the recalls. There will be an accident. I think i should be provided with something safe to drive until my car is fixed. I am on disability, on a fixed income and cannot afford to rent or buy a car. Please help me. All i get is the run around and put on hold! |
