    I have an open safety recall that has no available fix. My dealership confirmed they cannot repair it and advised me it may be unsafe. Because I cannot safely operate the vehicle, I am requesting a manufacturer buyback or financial assistance toward a replacement vehicle. Please escalate this to a case manager.

    Unknown, my car since ive got it has steadily ran way too hot for my comfort zone it does not redline. But it runs sometimes past 223-225 and i feel like i have to pull over and that is not safe. I have had it checked out NUNEROUS times and have been told nothing is wrong but genuinely that does not add up to me.

    less than 2 years after purchasing this vehicle brand new my car started consuming oil and actually caused my car to die in the middle of the road. Chrysler ended up completely replacing my engine due to scoring found in the pistons. In the last year I have done another oil consumption and feel just under the threshold of what Chrysler deems "bad enough". They did an update and it has not been a problem since. In the past few months I have been having issues with my car in…

    When placed into park the car does not register it's in park and therefore does not want to shut off. It can take up to 15 minutes to get it off. Seems dangerous since it keeps running and it starts to rev the engine.

    I put in a complaint back in 2019 about using to much oil and my car acting funny. Now the car will jump/jerk when you put on the gas and the air bag light comes on and the engine light. I took it to have it fixed last year at a sullivan's garage and he can not find anything wrong. He went a head and changed the oil. And mind you i just had it changed aweek before. And he said i was already half a quart low. My car still will start jerking/jumping and stop. Ill have to turn…
