Consumer Description

FIRST I WENT TO START THE CAR, I NOTICED THE BATTERY WASN'T STARTING. I OPEN THE HOOD AND TRIED TO MOVE THE BATTERY POST, THEY WERE TIGHT, BUT THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE POST STARTED SENDING SPARKS OUT WHEN I TOUCHED IT. AFTER A WHILE I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEN I NOTICED THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN I TURNED IT OFF. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT AT ALL THAT DAY. LATER I CHECKED IT AGAIN. IT DIDN'T START. SO I DID THE SAME THING AGAIN IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT I THOUGHT THE SPARKS MIGHT MAKE IT CATCH ON FIRE. I THINK THERE WERE A RECALL ON THIS CAR A WHILE BACK. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I READ ABOUT MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT? I'M REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN PAYING ANY DEDUCTIBLES AND CAR REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. HELP!!! IS THIS ANYTHING THAT I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT?
