36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2014

I took my vehicle in as requested for Chrysler recall # p25 back in may 2014 and they disconnected the switch and we are still waiting for the fix???.

37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2014

I was driving this brand new rental van on a 4-lane state highway. I'd been on the road less than an hour when I engaged the cruise control. The van was in cruise mode for at most a couple of minutes when I sensed the van slowing. I looked down to see the tachometer at zero; I realized its engine had turned off. Very fortunately for me, there were no other vehicles close by me. I was able to cruise to the shoulder and come to a stop. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe all of the vehicle's power was off (for example, I don't think I had power steering anymore). I put the vehicle in park, restarted the ignition, and decided to continue on my trip. I ended up putting just over 1,000 miles on it over the next 7 days, and the incident didn't happen again. During that time, I waited probably for another 400 miles before I risked trying the cruise control again (again, when no vehicles were nearby); no problems again. Yet, this definitely could have been an accident-inducing defect had I been in traffic in which the uncontrolled decrease in speed could have been dangerous. This is of course a Chrysler product, not a gm, my experience was strikingly similar to some of the stories I've heard / read about people driving cobalts. I did report this incident to the (alamo) rental car guy when I returned the vehicle. But again, after reading about the cobalt ignition problems over the last couple of weeks, I felt compelled to report this to NHTSA.

Very rough shifting and long delay to get into the passing gear. Delay when using horn. You press on it and 1-2 seconds later you hear it.
