Description of the problem | While driving, the car will abruptly speed up and slow down without any pressure or change in movement on the gas pedal. This has happened numerous times since about early 2012. I had a repair done on the car by the dealership as part of my warranty now these problems have made a reappearance. Along side sudden speed changes without me touching anything, i have had two previous incidents of the car (while driving!) turning on all error indicators (check engine light, high beam, hazard lights, tire pressure etc) and wiper blades simultaneously. These were very scary incidents, too scared to drive to the dealership i returned to my house (went to drop my son off to get a hair cut) and called the dealership in which my vehicle was towed the next day. I have also had problems with the fob technology in the keyless start of the car where i would put my purse in the back seat of the car, close the door and all doors lock and will not unlock, then i have to once again call the dealership and wait for them to assist me. One of the main reason i bought this car is because i was assured keys locked in the car would never happen, however i have had it happen to me more than all my other cars in the past. Now i have a small child with me and along side these recent reoccurrence of serious issues with my car and big recall by fca, no longer do i feel safe driving. |
