Consumer Description

I WAS STOOPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A HILL WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN ALL LIGHTS IN CAR TURNED ON THE BRAKES WENT OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I WAS ON A HILL AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO A WALL. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ABLE TO MANGE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE CURVE. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND THE CAR WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T CRASH INTO THE WALL OR ANOTHER CAR. THIS WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I COULD HAVE KIILED MYSELF OR AND SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE ONLY MY HUSBAND BECAUSE IM VERY SCARED. TODAY THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT COME ON AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED. WE CALLED CHRYSLER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION BUT THEY CAN ONLY SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THE CAR ON 5/17/2021 . THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IM SURPRISED THEY WONT SEE THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. AND TOLD US TO WAIT ANOTHER 5 DAYS. I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR UNTIL IT GETS CHECKED .
