Tl* the contact rented a 2015 chrysler 200 limited from enterprise rental car. While driving 25 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle accelerated at a high rate of speed and jerked. The contact immediately depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to slow down. As a result, the contact rear ended another vehicle. The contact's head struck the driver side window and she was knocked unconscious.
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 chrysler 200. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle caught fire and an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle stalled. The contact had to jump out the vehicle and sustained neck and back injuries, which required medical attention. The fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The cause of the failure was undetermined and the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,800.
A couple weeks ago my car stalled and totally shut down as I was turning into my driveway. It completely locked up including the brakes, steering, transmission and wouldn't do anything. I tried to put the car in park however the control knob to do so was locked and wouldn't move. The engine was shut down but all the electrical systems were working and several service messages cycled through the display screen.
Hello I've submitted and reached out plenty of times about a faulty transmission that when accelerated feels like it's in neutral then gets a gear and causes vehicle to make a harsh sound when kicks into gear and have almost gotten into plenty of accidents due to this. Also air bag sensor in passenger seat turns on everytime someone gets in as if it doesn't work properly.
