Description of the problem | My family and i where exiting the freeway off-ramp, when all off a sudden the car stalled on me. My kids where absolutely scared, they where very nervous when a car almost hit us. On one occasion a car came from the side swerving towards us honking nearly side swiping us. At this point in time i am very dissatisfied with the safety of the car. My family means the world to me, never did i think a brand new car will give me an absolute turnaround on the safety outcome it's given us up until now. I received a letter along with a phone call about the recall on the make and model that i purchased (chrysler 200) recall status. I immediately set up an appointment with the dealer to take it in for the following recall service: 14113 ro1 recall wc 0. 50 reprogrammed pcm and tcm module. Then 14 days after the service, the car broke down on the freeway putting myself and my family in harms way of a tragic accident. My wife is terrified at the idea of driving that car again for fear that something might happen while she's driving alone just her and our kids. At this point i am very concerned for my family's safety with this car because it could it been a lot worse. I expect a speedy solution to this issue and i am seriously considering trading in this vehicle for another with a better safety record. |
