Description of the problem | I was at a traffic light the light turn green i went to accelerate black smoke came out the tail pipe the car stalled then cut off it was towed to the dealership in which it stayed for several days got a call that it was ready picked it up on february 11th drove home parked it till that friday which was the 13th driving to work it was driving funny i stopped to let a truck pass by after the truck passed went to accelerate car wouldn't move tried to accelerate again car wouldn't move it wouldn't go in park it wouldn't nothing by this time the engine light came on the dash read press clutch and push start well guess what there is no clutch then battery saver mode came on the retraction light came on and then it shut off then service park assist system came on as well.... I got out because it was in the middle of the road so for my safety i left it there finally a few guys stopped pushed it to safety till the tow truck arrived it was towed to the dealer again which they kept until friday the 20th i refused to drive it so the dealer had someone to drive it to my home at that time i pleaded with chrysler to let me keep the rental car because i had a funeral i had to attend on saturday 21st they told me no that my car was ready and if i didn't drive it they would consider it to be abandoned so i said ok but i would be very upset if i missed this funeral! So drove to the house as we lined up for the funeral everyone one was in place as we proceed to leave the house for the funeral guest i went to accelerate and my car would not move it cut off in the middle of the funeral line i was so embarrassed i didn't know what to do so needless to say i missed the funeral and the graveside service as well and as of today friday 27th my car is still at the dealership with no answers !!! It's simply just give me a new car if i wanted a lemon i would have brought one. |
