Since 2015 this car has drained approximately 5 batteries. I purchased this automobile brand new 11/11/14 with 14 miles on it. This car was first taken to orange park Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram 7233 blanding blvd. , (904) 777-5500 in jacksonville, FL because of a drained battery and the car has to be started by pop-a-lock per my state farm insurance provider. The record shows that this occurred approximately three (3) times. Each time the car was returned with supposedly a new battery with no problem found with the last incident on 11/6/16. I relocated to north augusta, SC and on 11/23/16 and on 12/12/16 my car battery was drained again, state farm roadside assistance (all american road se 706-631-3580) was called once again and the car was taken to bob richards Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 1666 jefferson davis highway in graniteville, SC (803) 349-4910.

Failure Date: 06/05/2015

I purchased this car in Feb 2015. Family and I drove 900 miles from GA to NJ for a funeral. The car would not start, no lights, power steering, nothing! the non-Chrysler dealer blamed Chrysler and Chrysler blamed the non-Chrysler dealer. Chrysler roadside picked up the car Saturday morning and took it to a NJ Chrysler dealer for repair. My family and I had to return to GA on Sunday night. No one provided us with a rental car to return home. We had to secure/pay for a rental vehicle on our own. On Monday (2 days later) the NJ Chrysler dealer had not looked at the car. On Tuesday (3 days later) the NJ Chrysler dealer told me it was the bcm (body control module) = one of the computers and the part was on backorder with no eta. This car had 18k miles and a 2014 when I bought it less than 4 months earlier. I called Chrysler warranty that assigned a case manager. On Wednesday (4 days later) case manager contacted me to submit my receipts for rental car reimbursement, they have a rental car for me in NJ and not GA, and trying to expedite backorder part. I told the case manager that I don't need the rental in NJ, I need it in GA. Have not heard from her since. I am so disappointed in the lack of quality customer service I received from the everyone involved. I am afraid to drive this vehicle from NJ to GA as what is being told to me will be the case in order for me to get the car back. This car is still under warranty and provisions should be made to accommodate me for the repair and inconvenience. I have not received either from Chrysler corporation or the non-Chrysler dealer. I will never by a Chrysler or recommend it to someone.

3 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2014

The vehicle will fail to start initially. After several attempts the vehicle will start and the check engine light will appear. Also sometimes while driving the vehicle will cut out and the dash will go blank and have all of the warning lights illuminated, I. E. Abs, airbags, esc, tpms, engine mil, and service awd. The wipers will turn on by themselves and the blinkers or hazard lights wont work. This is concerning due to the lack of availability to warn other drivers on the road.
