I was involved in an accident on sunday june 8, 2014. My son and I were crossing at an intersection after stopping at a flashing red light half way through the intersection we were hit by an SUV moving at a high rate of speed. The vehicle struck us in the front passenger door at full speed knocking us all the way across the intersection and over the curb before we came to a stop at no point during the crash did the side curtain airbags deploy.
The trasmision has a jerking around 25 to 30 speed this has been doing this since day one I field complaints they had some one come from the manufactor to check it out he said it does what it is suppose to do I tryed for the lemon law I have all paper work yet then why am I not the only one complaing about this car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chrysler 200. While driving 30 MPH, the contact and his spouse were involved in a crash with another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's wife sustained severe whiplash, and injuries to the back and head. The contact injured his chest on the steering wheel. Medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where a new grill, bumper, paint and doors were added.
The cars automatic lock system waits until the car is in motion before locking. If you have your arm up on the window it pinches your arm and leaves a painful mark.
Within the last two months my passenger side seatbelt has jammed up twice. When it occurred I was not in my vehicle nor was I driving. I frequently have passenger seat riders and this problem indeed is hazardous. I spoke with a representative at landers dodge and they didn't know what too do too resolve this problem.
