This issue has been going on since February 2024. The vehicle will completely shutdown while driving ( no matter what speed I'm going ) it will say SERVICE THE SHIFTER and stop. The first time this happened I took (towed bc vehicle willl have no power since this a SAFTEY issue ) the Vero beach Chrysler dealership the vehicle to Commuter Cars in Port St Lucie which is the dealer I purchased the car from. They kept the vehicle for 2 weeks. I paid 644$ they said they replaced the shifter and that was the problem. 2 weeks later the same thing happened while driving , I took ( towed )the car to Chrysler . Chrysler charge me 200$ and said there was nothing wrong it was the safety recalls. 5 months later it happens again I take the car to Chrysler they charged me 1000$ and said it was some type of connecter . A month later it happens again I (towed) it to chysler they said the ECM shifter module had dried up coffee on it and they wiped it off and its working fine. They charge me 445$ said it needed a battery. Now it has happened again 2 months later and they are just now saying my ECM SHIFTER is bad. The service manager was rude and disrespectful. I have our conversation recorded. I said WHY am I just now knowing this after spending thousands of dollars towing this vehicle back and forth. My son and I could have been in a major accident because the car shuts completely down while driving. They never once check this and the car has been to them 4 times.
BOTH AC ACTUATOR KEEP GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING CONTINUES TO, WHICH RESULTS IN UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC POSSIBLE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FACTORY WIRE HARNESS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY, BOTH ACTUATORS DON'T SEEM TO WORK AT THE SAME TIME. HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. *TR
CLUSTER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROX. 45K AND NOW AT 75K (MILEAGE). THE MODULE IS COMPLETELY NOT OPERATING, CONSTANTLY FLICKERS AND BLACKS OUT. NO FUEL MONITORING, TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE COOLANT TEMP., ETC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING TO RECALL THIS ITEM. ALSO, THE 2015 CHALLENGER HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, FYI.
WHILE WALKING OUT OF THE STORE THE CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK BY USING THE FOB. WHEN I OPENED IT MANUALLY AND PUSHED THE UNLOCK BUTTON, IT STILL WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO HAVE EVERYONE CLIMB IN THROUGH MY DOOR TO GET TO THEIR SEATS. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT LOCK WITH THE FOB AND BY MANUALLY PUSHING THE BUTTONS. I HAVE NOW TAKEN IT IN TWICE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. AT RANDOM TIMES AND DAYS THE DOORS EITHER DO NOT UNLOCK, THEY WILL LOCK AND NOT LET PEOPLE OUT, OR THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN. IT HAPPENS WITH THE FOB OR BY PUSHING THE MANUAL BUTTONS. FOR BEING A BRAND NEW CAR IT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING THAT NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. IT HAS STAYED AT THE DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS AND AFTER GETTING IT BACK NOT 2 WEEKS HAVE PASSED WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I JUST TOOK IT IN AGAIN THIS WEEK AND RECEIVED IT BACK SO I AM WAITING TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED OR IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
