I purchased the car in 2014. I have replaced the gas cap twice, the seal behind the gas cap and the gas light stays on. The engine light comes on often and the car runs rough, cutting out and jerking. It has done this since I bought it.

My car does a jerking motion when it attempts to change gears, and shuts down while I am driving it. It cranks back up after this whinning for about 10-15 seconds.

First I have noticed my car delays and jerks when putting it into gear. This happens mostly in the winter. More recently my car tried to accelerate a couple times while my foot was on the brake. I took it into the dealership to have it repaired and they stated because they could not make the car do the same thing, they could not fix the problem. Second the recall on the air bags and seat belts was first published almost a year ago. This is my only vehicle and I have two children that are placed in that vehicle. I am scared for them as well as anyone that is in my car if I am to get into an accident. This is far too long to know about a problem and not fix it. I was going to trade in my car and try to lease another vehicle. Well now I can not do that as my car is only worth about $5,000 even though it is in excellent condition. I still owe about $12,000. So now I am left to drive an unsafe car that is known to be unsafe and nothing is being done about it.

Shortly after purchasing my 2014 chrysler 200 3.6 this year I noticed problems. When driving in speeds of 10-35mph it would occasionally jerk/lunge while shifting into gear. I was told this is normal. It didn't happen often or all the time. Then this week before we left for vacation we had the dealership change the oil and check all the fluid levels. I have 8400 miles on my car. While on vacation we were doing a lot more stop and go driving. The jerking and lunging was happening again, and then our engine light came on. We are out of state and now have to figure out what's going on with this. The car is running fine otherwise, the oil level is good and the gas cap is on. Not sure what to do at this point. However, sounds like this jerking/ lunge issue has been a problem for quite some time and there has been no fix yet! Great!
