We are being treated in a very uncaring, racist, discriminatory way by the general manager dan hamrick 702‑432‑2401, at #lasvegas chapman dodge #chrysler' @vegasdcj 3175 east sahara las vegas nv 89104. He has consistently refused to see us. He has never returned our calls. I was even threatened with great bodily harm by the service manager mike nicosia. I made a police report. We took our beautiful pt cruiser into las vegas #chapman dodge chrysler on 10-13-17 because the #engine light was staying on. They installed an expensive 'defective' chrysler #mopar totally integrated power module (tipm) and an expensive 'defective' mopar chrysler power train control module (PCM). Between 10-13-17 to 11-21-17 (approximately one month) I had to return my chrysler for repairs five (5) times & they installed three (3) pcms & two (2) tipms which were no good!!! My car's engine light came on again on 12-11-17 and my car accelerated by itself, and we crashed!!! This was only nineteen (19) days after my car's very last visit to las vegas chapman #dodge chrysler on 11-21-17. Our car sustained great body damage. It cannot be driven. Thank father god no one was killed!!! We had no idea what happened until we read an article about chrysler's defective totally integrated power modules problems titled 'chrysler tipms causing power problems - updated october 15, 2016' chryslerproblems.com/trends/tipm/. Amazing!!! That article LED us to similar articles. These are the receipt orders (work orders) in chronological order: #6463649-1, #6464576-1, #6465489-1, #6467298-1, #6467796-1. The problems were never repaired and my car cannot be driven. I am charged a total of $5,836.75 for absolutely nothing!!! Pease help me. Thank you.

Vehicle at 76,000 miles rides rough and during check up was found to have bad front bushings and three cracked engine mounts. Two licensed mechanics advised that this should not be happening to a single owner, never mistreated vehicle at that mileage. This was caught prior to a potential safety incident.

Driving 70 MPH on freeway. Rear quarter window detached from vehicle. There is an existing recall but only covers the model year before (2005). This is obviously an issue with the 2006 version as well.

We were rear ended while on vacation. The car was drivable and it was put in the shop for repairs. The other person was at fault. When we got the car back we noticed that the airbag light would stay on for a minute or two and then go off. This continues to happen. The car repair shop checked seat belts and such. The air bags did not deploy as this was a rear end collision. I feel like this is a safety hazard. The repair shop has had to repair work that was not done right. Could they have messed up the codes as the temp does not work right.? Were the airbags damaged ? The estimated speed he hit us was 35mph. We both got cervical sprain and mine is worse.

I went in to the local chrysler dealership on saturday, january 21, 2012 for a routine oil change. I was told that I needed to replace an engine mount. I had to replace on in september of 2010 and I was quite shocked that I was faced with this repaid again. It was a different mount this time. So I asked the customer service representative why does this keep happening. I am 57 years old and in 40 years of driving I have never even heard about this happening to any one. I was told that there is somewhat of a design flaw in the pt cruiser and that this particular dealer performs 20 to 30 like repairs a week.. This means that there is a design flaw in this vehicle. I checked on line and sure enough, it appears that there hundreds of complaints about pt cruiser engine mounts. What can be done? It is not fair that chrysler can sell a product like this - knowing that there are issues - and keep raking in money for the repairs. Shouldn't they be held to some kind of standard? This is a safety matter, for sure. It is a moral one as well.
