Consumer Description

IN OCTOBER OF 2013 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING TO THEM MY CAR STALLS WHEN IT COMES TO AN INCLINE IN THE ROAD I'M TALKING MERE INCHES, NOT CLIMBING UP GIGANTIC HILL. SINCE OCTOBER IT HAS CONTINUOUSLY STALLED OUT ON ME, TO GO SO FAR AS TO JUST STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. IF I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE TIRES ARE TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD AND THERE IS A JUMPING AND JOLTING SENSATION. MY CAR CUTS OFF AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK SINCE OCTOBER. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. OF COURSE THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE THE ENTIRE CAR APART AND CHARGE ME FOR IT BUT I CAN'T AFFORD THAT! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE IS FROM A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THE NEWS ARTICLE ON WED. COM TODAY WHICH IS WHY I'M CONTACTING YOU. *TR
