Consumer Description

OK.. SO LET ME VENT HERE. I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR THIS YEAR. (MARCH) AND THEY LET ME TAKE MY CAR FOR A NIGHT TO SEE IF I WOULD LIKE THE CAR. THEY HAD A 2013 CHRYSLER 200 LX 2.4CYL. OR A 2014 CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED 3.6 V6 THE 2013 HAD 37K THE 2014 HAD 21K. I WANTED THE 2014 BUT WHEN THEY ASKED ABOUT IT. IT WAS ALREADY SOLD... I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. SO I WENT FOR THE '13 LX. DROVE IT OFF THE LOT FOR A TEST DRIVE. DROVE JUST FINE. GOT BACK TO THE DEALER. SIGNED A PAPER AND LEFT WITH IT FROM THE DEALER FOR THE NIGHT. WELL ON MY WAY HOME. I THOUGHT WOULD GO OUT OF MY WAY A LITTLE BIT FOR A LITTLE EXTRA DRIVE. (KEEP IN MIND I HAD A FULL TANK FROM THE DEALER) LOL! SOMETHING I REQUESTED. BECAUSE WHEN I TEST DROVE IT. IT WAS ON E. AND GAS LIGHT WAS ON. BUT BACK TO THE POINT. WHILE GOING OUT OF MY WAY. I STOPPED TO GET PIZZA. AND LEFT MY CAR RUNNING. ALL LIGHTS WERE ON. I'M SITTING INSIDE WAITING FOR MY PIZZA. SINCE I CALLED IT IN BEFORE HAND. GOT MY PIZZA. COME OUT TO MY CAR. AND I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS. AND THOUGHT. HMM. I COULD HAVE SWORE I LEFT MY CAR RUNNING. LIKE WTF. AND MY HEADLIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WAS STILL ON! AND THEN I THOUGHT. OH [XXX]... I GOT INTO MY CAR. EVERYTHING IS ON. AC (WHICH OF COURSE WASN'T COLD AIR SINCE ENGINE WASN'T RUNNING) AND ALL MY LIGHTS WERE ON. AND I KNEW AS SOON AS I GOT INTO MY CAR AND THE RPM'S ARE ON 0 AND EVERYTHING IS STILL ON. I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE. IN SHOCK AND DISAPPOINTMENT. TURNED MY KEY BACK. AND TURNED IT BACK AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. SO I WAS UPSET BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. TOOK IT IN AND THEY GAVE ME A LOANER WHILE THEY "FIXED" IT. GOT IT BACK AND DIDN'T HAPPEN AFTER THAT. NOW IT JUST STARTED AGAIN TODAY. BOUT A MONTH WORTH'S OF TIME... I'M SICK OF THIS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 45K NOW. AND I GOT IT WITH 37K... TAKING MY CAR IN ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY... STAY SAFE. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
