What owners wrote
After stoping at a stop sign. Made a right turn and the transmission shift to high speed gear causing rapid speed the the ingine shut off caused hard steering. At that time a vehicle approach me head on because there cars park in oncoming traffic lane. The car crash into me forcing me to the right of my lane into a city light pole. The vehicle has has 4 recalls on it and 2 safety recalls open at this time. The vehicle has a buy back recall. And I would like to be refunded please. This happen in a cty street.
Every time I fill the truck with gas, once the tank is full the nozzle shuts off and a second later gas overflows out of the filler tube all over me the truck and the ground. I have found that this has been an issue with other chrysler vehicles and they have been repaired. This is a very major safety issue. The dealer noe chrysler will repair without charge.
