In october 2014 the vehicle shot of on me, to avoid crasing into another vehicle i try to steere to the left, " a very difficult to do sense the vehicle has no brakes or anyting funtional" i end it crashing into the gard rail. I wasent injured tahks god my kid were not in the vehicle. I contact crhysler deveral times and was very difficult for them to follw up whit me. They send an engineer to see my vehicle whom sayd that it was nothin wrong whit the vihicle. I have to pay $500 dollar deductible and $1200 in car rental.
