Consumer Description

WAS USING PARK ASSIST AND THE CAR DID NOT PARK ITSELF CORRECTLY AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. WHILE USING PARK ASSIST FEATURE THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE TOO FAST AND THE STERLING WHEEL DID NOT TURN THE CAR CORRECTLY. THE CAR WAS MOVING SO FAST, THERE WAS NO TIME TO PRESS THE BRAKE. IN THE RESULT OUR CAR HIT ANOTHER PARKED CAR AND JUMPED ON THE CURB. IN THE RESULT OUR REAR BUMPER AND REAR DOOR WERE DAMAGED. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER RIGHT AWAY TO TELL WHAT HAD HAPPENED, THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD US TO CONTACT OUR INSURANCE AND THEN INSURANCE WILL DO INVESTIGATION. WHEN WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT CHRYSLER IS THE ONE WHO DOES THE INVESTIGATION. AFTER THAT CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED BY US NUMEROUS TIMES, EACH TIME DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVE, EACH TIME SOME INFORMATION WAS MISSING FROM THE CASE THAT INVESTIGATION TEAM COULD NOT START TO DO THEIR INVESTIGATION. SO, EACH TIME I SPOKE WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE (I HAVE THEIR NAMES) WE WERE ADDING MISSING INFORMATION, AND CREATING NEW CASE NUMBER. IT TOOK ALMOST A MONTH FOR THE INVESTIGATOR TO CONTACT US TO DO THE CAR INSPECTION. BY THIS TIME THE CAR WAS FIXED THRU INSURANCE. AFTER THE INSPECTION TOOK PLACE CHRYSLER DID NOT SEND US ANY SOLUTION OR SUGGESTION IF PARK ASSIST NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THE ONLY LETTER THEY SEND STATING THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS FIXED NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SO ITS UNCLEAR EITHER ALL FEATURES IN THIS CAR FUNCTION PROPERLY. I THINK IT'S NOT FAIR THAT MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY AND MADE THIS ACCIDENT AS MY FAULT
