Purchased vehicle as is on 03/16/2021 at date of purchase vehicle had almost 200,000 miles on it it needed front end lower control arms and bushings replacement on both driver and passenger sides the air conditioning didn't work due to the ac compressor being no good so the compressor had to be replaced as well the driver side window wouldn't go down regulator. Had to be brought and replaced as well also at the time of purchase in which vehicle was sold as is with a malfunctioning seatbelt issue in which the driver's side seatbelt was fastened and will not unfasten the passenger side seatbelt works however the cars sensor beeps and flashes indicating that someone is in the passenger seat without their seatbelt on even with the seatbelt being fastened without an actual body or weight being in the seat at all. . . . Since compressor has been replaced car has started running hot coolant and water has to currently be added just for regular daily use.
Immediately after fueling, the vehicle stalled while leaving the gas station and lost all belt driven components as a result - power steering, a/c, etc. The vehicle subsequently stalled several more times while driving, and exhibited labored acceleration in between. This was the first incident and has been repeated every time it was refueled until pump shut off since, regardless of different gas stations and fuels.
I got off work started car put on seat belt. Put foot on brake and tried to move gear shift it wouldnt move out of park. There are so many complaints of this issue.
In the last year I have had to have the front tie rods replaced three time. At certain speeds my vehicle will vibrate. Going over speed bumps or into even the slightest pot hole the vehicle will vibrate. When slowing down or coming to a stop the front end will vibrate. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised my front tires needed to be changed and/or rotated to the back due to an unusual wearing on the tires. The wear was on the outisde of the tires. The gear shifter was in park position and there it stayed was unable to shift gear to anything and had to take the console around the lever apart to shift gears. And the brakes squeak all the time even after having them replaced and the rotors replaced as well as the struts. When the car is sitting in idle, the lights dims as though there is a shotrage in the electrical system. I let my 17yr old daughter drive my car to school and when she got to a red light the engine shut off. This is dangerous, so I dont let her drive the car anymore. My seatbelt light stays on & beeps when the seatbelt is connected. These are all safety issues & Chrysler should be held accountable. These issues needs to be addressed.
