Consumer Description
I HAD MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL REPLACED IN THE WINTER OF 2013. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTER SEEING THE MANY COMPLAINTS HERE I WAS SURE CHRYSLER WOULD COVER IT, BUT THEY DID NOT. THEY, IN FACT, TOLD ME THAT THEY EXPLICITLY WERE NOT COVERING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS PART! TODAY, I LEARNED THAT NOW I AM HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AGAIN. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT WORK WHENEVER THEY WANT, NO RHYME OR REASON. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO WORKS WHENEVER IT WANTS AND THE AUTO TECHNICIANS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY BECAUSE THERE IS NOT WARNING LIGHT COMING ON MY DASH. I LEARNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL RELATED TO THE TPMS CONNECTORS AND HOW THEY CORRODE THEN CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY. I CALLED CHRYSLER AGAIN TODAY AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON HOW TO ESCALATE MY PROBLEMS. I TOLD HIM THAT WAS ODD AND HE SAID TO ME "IS IT REALLY ODD? IF YOU WERE THE CORPORATION WOULD YOU GIVE IT OUT?" I'LL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE ALL LISTED HERE AND SAVE YOUR CUSTOMERS! *TR
