CAR SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 MILES AND HOUR LEFT LANE PASSING TRAFFIC, NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES. THANKFULLY A TRUCKER SAW MY DISTRESS AND LET ME OVER TO GET OFF INTERSTATE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND BODILY INJURY AS AIR BAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED EITHER. WOULD NOT RESTART HAD TO HAVE TOWED, STARTER REPLACED, NOT THE ISSUE. UPON RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL CHARGERS AND OTHER MODELS PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER. APPEARS TO BE A WIN MODULE ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS ONLY FOR THE T& C . WIN MODULE IS BEING REPLACED AT A HEARTY PRICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO THIS SITUATION AS THE WIN MODULE IS BEING USED IN NEWER MODELS. AND THIS RANDOM SHUTTING OFF IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE PUT APPEARS TO JUST KEEP GETTING PUSHED ASIDE. WILL HAVE REPAIR BILLS AVAILABLE ONCE COMPLETED.

APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS OR SO AGO I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS "TOO WEAK" FOR MY CAR. I DID SO AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES FOR ME TO FINALLY START IT, IT WAS STATIONARY. I CAME HOME WITH MY EYES STINGING AND SWOLLEN AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THE BATTERY BLEW UP AND THERE WAS BATTERY ACID ALL OVER MY TRUNK. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS COMMON AND I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL FORUMS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BATTERIES BLOWING UP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ITSELF OR THE BATTERY, BUT I DO THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE BATTERY IS A DURALAST BATTERY.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE A YOUNGER DRIVER DRIVING A CAR WITH A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS STILL NOT BEEN COMPLETED WITH NO TARGET DATE GIVEN. I PURCHASED THE CAR SO THAT IT COULD BE DRIVEN SAFELY AND FULLY. MY CHILD HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE, NHTSA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE, AND TAKATA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. YOU WON'T EVEN SAY NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL LAW SUITS AND LOSS OF REVENUE THAT IT WOULD COST THE MANUFACTURERS. YOU HAVE CLEARLY CALCULATED THE COST OF DEATH AND/OR INJURY AT A LOWER VALUE THAN THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF REVENUE THAT WOULD RESULT FROM FIXING THE ISSUE OR DEEMING THE VEHICLES AS NOT DRIVABLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. I WANT THE CAR FIXED OR REPLACED ASAP.
