Description of the problem | I bought my car on may 6, 2013 and i have been taking my car to whitten brothers in ashland virginia for all the service and repair work. On june 13, 2013 i had a recall done and all of the repairs started. The air bag wiring and harnesses replaced in june 2013. The turbo has been replace 4 times as of august 27, 2015. The waste gate actuator has been replace 3 times. 08/12/14 the vacuum sensor signal replaced power brake check valve and sadder and repaired 2 wires going to the vacuum sensor. Transmission control module has been replaced twice on 09/11/15. On 06/26/14 the cruise control switch was replaced but still does not work properly because the car is always having a problem which will stop it from working. On 06/26/14 the control panel was replaced. On 02/18/15 pcm radio wiring, right front door and subwoofer speakers replaced. On 08/27/15 front struts and back shock absorbers replaced. On 09/01/15 replaced battery and transmission light came on. I have recently had all the updates done on my car while its been in the shop and now i am tired of being taken advantage of by chrysler. I should not have to lose thousands of dollars to trade or sell my car back to a dealer to get out of this nightmare. I want my car recalled back for a full refund because of the reoccurring problems i keep having. I have sent a lemon law letter to chrysler on september 14, 2014 and put them on notice about all the problems with this car and demanded a buy back which in turn they gave me an extended warranty which has covered all the repair expenses. I also just settled a law suit with chrysler through the law offices of krohn and moss in chicago the lawyer did not pursue my case in court due to being out of state. So therefore, i only won $5,000. 00 to cover the attorney fee of $3,500. 00 leaving me $1,500. 00. My total purchase price was $21,671. 00 and that is what i am fighting for! |
