Van horn chrysler and dodge in plymouth wi. Sold me a vehicle that was in a major front end accident. When they sold me the air the airbag was not attached. The steering was pulling to the right. The suspension was severely damage, it was so severe that when I took the car to chrysler, I spend money there to get the problems repaired. Because van horn wouldn't pay for the repairs. After chrysler couldn't make the repairs, because the car had been in a major accident from the previous owner. Chrysler referred me to the body shop, where I was out of pocket for another additional repair. I also forward this information to chrysler customer assistant 1‑888‑992‑1997. My case number there is [xxx].they (chrysler customer assistant) said the car should have never been sold. They informed [xxx] manger to get in touch with me to make a settle. Which he hasn't as to 10/14/205. Tom boweo was the person that I spoke with at milosch's palace collision center, lake orion mi. (248)276-6653. The car is registered to [xxx].

It has been increasingly difficult to see at night when driving my chrysler 200 2012 in low lit areas due to the headlight beams. Less light? Aimed low? I have to drive far slower than posted around bends at night. I don't recall this issue when I bought the car brand new. I have had it one year and have just over 10,000 miles. I don't usually have to drive at night other than my well lit neighborhood ,so this could have easily gone unnoticed. Either way, this terrifies me. The other issue I have is a jerk when shifting to reverse or drive. It is a loud clunk and I feel the vibration. I will not drive at night in low light areas until resolved. I also feel the car pulls to the right when driving. I will contact the dealer soon, until then I just don't feel safe driving while on dark roads.
I was driving my new chrysler 200 3.6l approximately 25-30 MPH pressed the gas pedal and had no response. Engine was dead, the steering locked-up causing the vehicle to pull right running off the road. Fortunately, my two children and myself were not harmed. I am extremely disappointed/angry that my children were put into this situation. I believe this is a an unsafe vehicle and investigation should take place.
When slowing down almost to a stop, the vehicle downshifts hard. It cause a shutter or jerk and you can feel even in the brakes. Feels awful and cannot be normal. Also, when accelerating, the vehicle pulls hard to the right.
