About 3 weeks ago my car started stalling out on me out of nowhere, i took it to a mechanic so they could try to diagnose the problem, they thought it was the battery so i bought a new one( $183). 2 days later the car started stalling out on me again while driving on the freeway a cop had to push my car out of the way because i was blocking traffic and in an unsafe location, i had to get it towed ($80) & took it to a different mechanic to diagnose the problem ($198) they said my car had a safety recall due to the crankshaft/camshaft sensor they recommended that i should take it to the dealership because that is the manufacturers fault and chrysler will fix it for free. when i went to the dealership they said my car does not qualify and that i would have to rediagnose my car for $200 and pay $540 for them to fix this issue which i am not at fault for. i asked if i would be able to get a rental through them they said i would have to pay out of pocket for it. i started a case with chrysler on 07/29 and am still waiting on the specialist to review this. i am frustrated. every day that goes by is another day that i have to figure out how to get to work whether it be asking for a ride or paying for a rental out of pocket. i would understand if i got in a wreck and the sensor messed up i would pay for it myself no questions asked. all i'm asking is for chrysler to honor the safety recall and fix this issue. if you were in the same position i'm sure you would be stressed out as well. the car is not safe and has left me stranded while i was driving, now 4 times. my car is 2016 there is no reason this should be happening!!!! also, i have kept all receipt and would like to be reimbursed for the headache & unnecessary charges that this has caused me.

On december 9, 2016 i rented a jeep compass and on that day i had a roll over accident. i was driving in the country. very low traffic area. before applying the brake, i was driving at a safe speed for the road conditions - fifteen to twenty mph on fresh snow and some packed snow over a paved road base. at about twenty to twenty five feet before a stop sign i began to apply the brake. the brake did nothing. there was clicking noises and the compass seemed to accelerate. i continued to apply the brake as i rolled through the stop area for the stop sign. the paved road ended at the stop sign and turned into a dirt road base. at this point i turned the wheel as the momentum continued. i was hoping the dirt road base would provide grab for the turned front tires and steer the compass to the direction of the dirt road. there was no grab and the compass continued to drive across the dirt road for about another twenty feet as i continued to apply the brake. i had applied the brake for about forty-five feet when i see the ten foot drop ditch ahead of me. the compass didn't slow, ever. it seemed to accelerate. it wouldn't be directed by steering it. i had no control over it. at this point i did all that i could think of to avoid an accident. i looked at the ditch and knew that the suv and i would receive damage. the compass rolled into the ditch. when the suv finally stopped i was up side down. for me to best describe this jeep compass is that it was a "terminator". it had a mind of its own. once i applied the brake, i had no control over it. *tr
