Consumer Description
On July 26 when starting the car the entire dash lit up and all possible dash lights began to flash, the RPMs would go up and down, speedometer would move up and down. It literally looked possessed. Turned the car off. Later that day went to start the car again (to bring it in if possible) and the car started fine. Started driving towards the dealership. At 30mph the car began to accelerate on its own. Thankfully no cars in front as I slammed the breaks and pulled over. The dash lights again went haywire. Pulled over and shut car off. Turned back on and drove the mile home (13 miles to dealership). Next day we again brought it into the dealership and the car made it. They were unable to duplicate and stated there were 100's of codes and they don't know where to begin. The dealership sent me home. Almost a month later exactly the vehicle went crazy. This time I grabbed my cell phone and recorded it. Turned the car off and had it towed to the dealership. It did not do it again. They have had it now going on over two weeks and are unable to duplicate the issue. Again, they stated there are 100s of codes and don't know where to start. The car is not safe for driving. Once the dash goes crazy all control is lost. We have an extended warranty. We love the features of the car, but with five kids we do not feel safe driving it on the highway until they look into this. I have read at least two others with similar issues, but the dealership says they only work with Chrysler Engineering and don't look at other websites. VERY FRUSTRATED.
