Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident with my car. A car turned in front of me while i had the right of way. I did not have time to even hit the brakes. So the front of my car hit the vehicle. I was going about 40 mph. The whole front bumper came off and the steel support bar and the frame was twisted. My airbags never deployed. I did sustain injuries! This was not the first issue i had with this car. I bought it in 2017 and a week later the car started downshifting as i was driving all the time. It would stall and the transmission light would come on. I brought it to chrysler and was told that the original owner had s6arted the recall process on the transmission!! I was infuriated that i was not told. After rental cars because i couldnt use it while the recall stuff was being done. And me bringing it back and forth 3 times with the problem still persisting! Yet again the car downshifted in traffic and was forced to go off the road. Finally they replaced the transmission. A year later and my car still does not switch gears right and the check engine light never goes off!!! I am now gonna sue the hell out of chrysler!! |
