    While driving the battery saver mode came on, after that the abs warning light came on. Then power to the radio was cut out and the ac fan speed started jumping sporadically until shutting down as well. Then the speedometer fell to 0 even though i was traveling at a constant rate. Once stopped in a parking lot the car went completely dead and i was unable to restart the vehicle and had to have it towed. There was a…

    I was driving on the h-3 honolulu-bound and on my way, the battery indicator light illuminated in the dash display panel, then the abs and traction lights lit up. Immediately after that, the car lost acceleration and there was no power steering. I knew i had to pull over to avoid an accident and when i attempted to do so, i had a difficult time maneuvering the car. To top it off, the anti-brake system was not…

They told me i had a bad alternator however i could not pay for the alternator so i requested to just pick up my vehicle. Before leaving i got the mechanic to test my battery. Turns out i had a bad battery. Problem solved but…

    I have replaced my car's alternator twice within 16 months due to total failure (car won't turn on) and impending failure (low charging while on). This resulted in my battery needing to be replaced. Additionally, i have replaced all 4 wheel speed sensors twice within the last 24 months because they are failing and the abs / esc light comes on. Very disappointing in a car that's only 3 years old. Dealership tells me…

    On my daily routine home, out of the blue, my esc light comes on. Immediately im concerned and notice some loss of power. No less than a minute later my abs light comes on as well! So i pull over and shut off the car and then cut it back on, no luck. The car starts but the engine won't cut on and both lights are still on. So i cut it off again and wait a few then attempt to cut it on again and it gets worse! The car…

    This is the third time that all the idiot lights on the dashboard come on and then we proceed to lose the power steering and brakes. Chrysler's lemon law division states that they will fix it and that my issue is not a lemon law case. I simply have requested them to take the car back and have their engineering department take it apart to find out what is going on with i and to give me a new vehicle. Each of the…

    Within one month of purchasing my vehicle the passenger air bag light stays on and after bringing the vehicle into the dealer 3 times it has still not been repaired. Then my emergency brake light and my abs light randomly started coming on. I brought it into the dealer again and they said they had to order a part. They "think it is electrical" and would call me when the part came in. Two months later...no phone call…

First, it was the passive entry door handles, which have occurred 5 times and 5 fixes since last year. Second issue was the power shutdown for the car, 3 dead batteries, and several issues concerning the uconnect system shutting down during driving. There has been a relentless…
