I received a notice that my 2013 Chrysler 300 was under a recall for alternator issues. I already had noticed that my vehicle warning lights had flashed the alternator with the lightning bolt twice recently. Then my cruise went out, abs service light came on and stayed on and my traction control light came on and stayed on. The days after I reviewed the recall notice I schedule an appointment to have my car services at carl gregory in savannah GA, off abercorn st. When the service person took my car I identified the issues and he said that he will check it over to include checking the wheel sensors. Noting the wheel sensors specifically, made me a bit suspicious. Later he called me and stated that a wheel sensor went bad and it was not relational to the recall notice. He said he has the part and it would be $187 to fix it. I stated that the notice states that the wheel sensor could be impacted. He said, no sir it reads the module not the sensor and they are not close to each other. I find this technicality not fair to the consumer and I feel that this should be included in the recall. My car has 39k miles on it, is serviced regularly and has never had an issue. I find it hard to believe that the cruise, abs, and traction control going out at the same time has nothing to do with the recall.
While driving, the car's gas pedal becomes unresponsive. You can not accelerate. In multiple incidences, I have been nearly hit on the freeway due to my abrupt loss of acceleration. The car was taken to the dealership where they had the car for 2 days and informed me that the car was fine. In the final incident, I was going 75 in heavy traffic when the car began to lose speed. I could not accelerate or get the car to go. The car's check engine light came on, and the car had to be towed 70 miles to my home because it is unsafe to drive. It has been 5 days and still have not heard from Chrysler.
I entered the intersection cars were in front of me. I slightly touched my brakes and the car stalled and didn't and wouldn't get speed of exhaustion. A car came speeding the opposite direction and collided into the rear of vehicle. I contacted Chrysler recall center and they refused to take the car back or forward the call to upper management. I spoke with drake dm1915 this morning that wasn't helpful or sentimental to the issues. Very arrogant and unconcerned. I had another encounter in the snow on 02/23/2015 where I had to leave my car in my work parking lot because my brakes would not traction the road and made a noise. I'm afraid to continue drive this vehicle.
