WIFE STATED THAT SHE WENT TO HER CAR TO LEAVE FROM WORK AND ONCE SHE GOT CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE THE HORN BEGAN BLARING NON STOP, WIPERS RUNNING, FLUID SPURTING OUT, DASH LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF AND DOOR LOCKS GOING UP AND DOWN. I ARRIVED AND REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLE AND IT STOPPED. I REPLACED THE CABLE A SHORT TIME LATER AND WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND I STARTED DRIVING IT HOME AND AS I GOT UP TO ABOUT 30 MPH IT DID IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR CUT OFF AND I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES BUT WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE BUSY STREET I WAS ON. I REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT WHICH POINT I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAD CUT BACK ON AND WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I DROVE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. AT 3 AM THE SAME NIGHT WE WERE AWAKENED BY THE VEHICLES HORN BLARING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I WENT OUTSIDE AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING THAT MY WIFE ORIGINALLY STATED BUT THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING WITHOUT A KEY BEING ANYWHERE NEAR IT - WE DO NOT HAVE THE REMOTE START INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE ABOVE PROBLEMS HAPPEN AT 70 MPH WE WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD. *TR

I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO BE NOTIFIED THAT THE FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY HAS COME IN. TODAY WHEN I WENT TO START THE VAN IT SEEMS THAT IT WANTS TO START BUT HESITATES I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. I CLEANED THE AIR FILTER, CHECKED THE HOSES AND BATTERY BUT FOUND NOTHING WRONG. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL 800 NUMBER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A SOLUTION AND THE GENTLEMAN SAID IT COULD BE FROM 1-3 MONTHS BEFORE THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND HE STATED IF I CHANGED THE IGNITION MODULE I WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED, I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK AT 50,000 MILES THE SWAY BAR ON THE RIGHT WAS REPLACED AND I STILL NEED TO REPLACE THE LEFT ONE. I USUALLY TRAVEL WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN AND IT HAS BEEN ONE ISSUE OR ANOTHER SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

PUT MY HAZARDS ON WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES THEN IT FINALLY WORKED. IT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN 2 MINUTES LATER WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL. GOT IT STARTED AGAIN. THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ON A BUSY ROAD. I SAT THERE FOR 15 MINUTES TRYING TO GET IT GOING.

RECALL: L25 / NHTSA 14V-373 ONCE WE RECEIVED THIS NOTICE WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS RECALL, AND WERE NOTIFIED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE .MOVE FORWARD TO TODAY, I CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IN QUESTION IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE, BUT THE PARTS FOR THE 2010 MODELS ARE BEING MANUFACTURED AND SHIPPED TO DEALERSHIPS, BUT THERE IS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART IN QUESTION FOR THE 2008 MODELS WILL BE MANUFACTURED AND SHIPPED.

MANY, MANY , MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WILL EITHER BE SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT, TO MAKE A TURN, OR HIT A BUMP AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. NO PARTICULAR REASON, NO IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING A PROBLEM. IF I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE HEATING/COOLING FAN, IT SHUTS OFF, I WOULDN'T KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED. TWICE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, HIT A BUMP AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. 65 MPH WITH CHILDREN AND PETS IN THE CAR!. A COUPLE OF TIMES THE CAR HAS JUST SHUT OFF AT A STOP, NO BUMP, NOTHING APPARENT. I HAVE BEEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES, SPENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND ALL THEY CAN SAY TO ME IS I'M SORRY WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SITUATION. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON 09-15-2014 ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AS OF THIS DATE, 01-16-2015 I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT IT IS MY TURN TO GET THE IGNITION FIXED. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES EACH AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT THE PART HASN'T BEEN MANUFACTURED OR THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT GETS STUCK IN THE ACC MODE. AFTER SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS SEVERAL TIMES IT USUALLY RELEASES AND ALLOWS ME TO GET IT OUT. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR THE OTHER MORNING, MY KEY WOULDN'T EVEN GO IN THE SLOT AT ALL!!! NOW, I AM STUCK WITH THIS CRAP VAN THAT COSTS A TON TO FIX. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT THE L-25 RECALL BECAUSE MINE HASN'T BEEN FIXED AND THEY WERE TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THEY CAN'T FIX THAT RIGHT NOW. APPARENTLY, WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING TO FIX IT WASN'T WORKING SO UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH ANOTHER PLAN, THEY CAN'T DO IT. I HATE TO PAY TO FIX A PART THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ON RECALL ANYWAY.

MY TOWN AND COUNTRY IS INVOLVED IN THE L25 RECALL. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE DURING OPERATION, THE KEY MOVES FROM THE "ON" POSITION. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER OR ENGAGE THE BRAKES. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS AND TO RECEIVE AN ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. I CONTACTED THEM TODAY, 1/6/2015 TO LET THEM KNOW THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I ALSO REQUESTED FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE WAITING ON THE PARTS FOR REPAIR DUE TO THE CONCERN I HAD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND OTHER DRIVERS. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE PUBLIC IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF OTHER ACTIONS I CAN TAKE SO THAT INJURIES AND/OR DEATHS DO NOT OCCUR DUE TO THEIR FAILURE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT AND REFUSAL TO PROVIDE ME WITH TEMPORARY SAFE TRANSPORTATION.

THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL L25/NHTSA 14V-373. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF DURING OPERATION PUTTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AT RISK OF HARM. ON ONE OCCASION, THE SHUT DOWN OCCURRED WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. ON ANOTHER OCCASION IT OCCURRED IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN APRIL 2012. THE PATTERN IS THE SAME, AFTER A SERIES OF SHUTDOWNS, THE IGNITION LOCKS UP AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE IS THEN TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE REPAIR RECEIPTS INDICATE THAT CHRYSLER REPLACES THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER (KEY FOB). THESE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN INEFFECTIVE. THE REPAIR LASTS FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE PROBLEM RESURFACES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 23, 2014. AFTER A SERIES OF SHUTOFFS, THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS PRESENTLY LOCATED. ON DECEMBER 24, 2014, THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, STATING THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE WORK. ON DECEMBER 26, 2014, THE MANUFACTURE WAS INFORMED OF THE PROBLEM VIA TELEPHONE DISCUSSION ON THE CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE HOTLINE (800-853-1403). THE CALL WAS UNPRODUCTIVE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2015 UNDER RECALL L25/NHTSA 14V-373. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND IS UNUSABLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION. THE VEHICLE IS THE OWNERS SOLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK AND FAMILY RELATED NEEDS. CH

FIRST TIME USING A BRAND NEW CHRYSLER KEY, ONE OF TWO REPLACED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL IN 2010. VEHICLE STARTED AND ENGINE RAN FINE. STARTED A TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY BUT I THEN NOTICED CERTAIN ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS WOULD NOT OPERATE, INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, DEFROSTER, POWER WINDOWS, ADJUSTABLE POWER ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS, CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, AND SEAT HEATERS. I PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THEN RESTARTED VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WORKED NORMALLY. ON THE REST OF THIS 5-DAY TRIP, THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY THE KEY NOT PROPERLY TRAVELING FROM THE "START" TO THE "ON" POSITION AFTER STARTING (IN ESSENCE, STICKING IN THE START POSITION). I DISCOVERED A SEPT., 2014, RECALL (P57) THAT INDICATES OTHER 2008 CHRYSLER VEHICLES CAN HAVE THESE SAME SYMPTOMS. THIS MINIVAN IS CURRENTLY AWAITING RECALL L25, WHICH WAS BEGUN IN JUNE, 2014. THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO ME HAS TOLD ME REPEATEDLY THAT THEY DO NOT AND CANNOT GET THE PARTS TO IMPLEMENT THE L25 RECALL, WHICH ADDS A DETENT RING TO THE IGNITION. THE L25 RECALL ALSO INVOLVES THE IGNITION KEY POTENTIALLY MOVING TO AN IMPROPER POSITION, IN THAT SITUATION FROM THE "ON" TO "ACCESSORY" POSITION. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE P57 RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS RELATED TO MY PROBLEM. NOTE THAT IN MY CASE, THE KEY USED WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS BRAND NEW, MADE BY CHRYSLER, AND SUPPLIED DURING ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL I
WHILE DRIVING OUR VAN'S HORN BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, THE WIPER BLADES BEGAN TO RUN, AND WORST OF ALL THE DASH WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF. THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN ON THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS. IT WAS VERY HARD TO CONCENTRATE AND FRUSTRATING WITH NO ANSWERS GIVEN. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
