1 Car Will Not Accelerate problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2019

"takata recall". To begin, my car wouldn't accelerate, I'd be driving and it would hesitate then take off reallty hard as to even jerk. Did this a couple of times before I took it in to the dealership, one place told me it was nothing wrong, took it to another dealership because it kept stalling as I was on the highway and they said it was an electrical issue. Then another issue occurred with the dash illuminating telling me my airbags alert displaying on my dash (2x)took it back to dealership, though they kept it for a week, they said it was because someone kicked the wiring loose under my passenger seat. No one has ever sat in my back seat. Now my car is in the shop because at first the malfunction light illuminated, drove my car to work, returned to my car and it wouldn't start, had roadside jumpstart it, and it started, went back out later and it wouldn't start, as I tried to get out, my dash lit up and I had to push the button for it to turn off, as I'm walking away, my car literally tries to accelerate on its own, as if I hit my remote start. Had it taken into the dealership. They diagnosed my car as having a faulty climate control module ( first off, I drive 17 miles to and from work everyday, my climate control has been beyond functional, I literally have to turn it off because it gets so cold in my car) and they also said my car stalled because of a bad battery, and said the burning I smelled on the passenger door was a faulty wire and thats why its not functioning properly, which they're repairing, but charging me for it. I have had so many issues with this car since I purchased it. When I'm driving and turn the wheel to the left, it sounds like something is going to break, also my breaks will lock up on me if it's raining and I'll slide ( really)?? this car has been nothing less then a lemon.

2 Car Will Not Accelerate problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2017

**I will continue to post until my issue is resolved** my 2015 Chrysler 200 limited has been experiencing the same thing as all other reports. 06/08/17 car turned off while driving and would not immediately turn back on. When it did it would sputter and then stall. 06/09/17. Check engine light came on code p2172 for throttle actuator control system and the car would not let me accelerate past 32 mph. One of the possible issues would be an open or short in the wire harness. This is something that is discussed in the r24 recall however, my VIN is not on the list yet. This is an extremely unsafe vehicle and it needs to be addressed immediately. I'm confident that there are more than enough people to begin a class action suit. If I have to post on here again and add accident, injury, or death. The lawsuit will hold a very different meaning.

8 Car Will Not Accelerate problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2015

Driver received recall notice r24 for Chrysler (nhsta 15v-470)in the mail during the week of 9/28/15 - 10/2/15. On 10/5/15, while driving at 65mph, car jerked and check engine light came on. Approximately 2 miles later at 65mph, car jerked again, shifted to neutral, and "service transmission" message flashed on the screen next to speedometer. The electrical problem (concerning the recalled part) caused power to the vehicle to cease and driver was forced to coast to shoulder of interstate highway (in rush hour traffic and through weigh station entrance ramp). Car was completely off with no battery power after shifting to neutral. While stopped, driver attempted to restart the vehicle (immediately after pulling over) with no success. After 10 minutes and a few phone calls to figure out what to do, driver was able to restart the vehicle. The check engine light was still illuminated, and the car would not accelerate as usual (max 45mph, still on interstate, still rush hour). The driver was able to slowly drive the car to the dealership, almost being rear-ended twice. The service manager stated driver would be eligible for a complimentary rental only if they were able to diagnose it as a recall defect. The manufacturer's "rep" was able to determine that the problem was in fact due to the recalled part, and a rental was obtained. The car has been in the dealership's car repair parking lot for over two weeks, with no replacement part/repair on its way.
