Consumer Description

FIRST TIME CAR WOULDN'T START. DEALERSHIP CHARGED BATTERY AND DID SOFTWARE UPDATE. SECOND TIME CAR WOULDN'T START THEY REPLACED BATTERY. THIRD TIME CAR WOULDN'T START BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED THEY SAID IT WAS A GLOVE BOX SWITCH. FOURTH TIME CAR WOULDN'T START THEY SAID IT WAS THE USB CABLE KEEPING THE RADIO POWERED ON ALL THE TIME. SAME CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT ALL FOUR TIMES. BRAND NEW CAR BOUGHT AUGUST OF 2012. ALL FOUR TIMES HAVE BEEN IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS! THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS! ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. IN THE USA WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH BEING RIPPED OFF LIKE THIS. *TR
