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 THREE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED, WE HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY FORTUNATE TO BE IN A PARKING LOT ONLY TRAVELING A COUPLE MILES PER HOUR. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED ALREADY AND HAS NOT APPARENTLY. I NO LONGER TRUST MY SAFETY AND LIFE NOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF I WERE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. THE ONLY REMEDIES THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE TO ME ARE TO REMOVE ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND COMPUTERS AND REPLACE THEM WITH NEW OR TO EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WITH THIS CAR.
