I have owned one Chrysler product, and it will be my last. I bought this car as a holdover in 2014 with only 7600km on the odometer. It had in serviced the previous year. It seems to do a fine job going forward, backward, steering left and right, and stopping, which in the end is all you need, but the electrical is very sub par for what Chrysler prices this car at. Within the first 2 years I had it in for multiple electrical problems, the most annoying of which was my sunroof sticking open, then conveniently starting to work again when I take it to the dealership, which means, of course, the dealership will refuse to check for a problem. I guess the sunroof closing slowly and making a painful struggling sound wasn't evidence enough. It was determined that the sunroof had a blown motor, and I had to borrow my brother's truck for the 4 days my car needed to go into the autobody shop to have the headliner dropped to get to the motor because Chrysler is happy to charge you 40 grand for a car but can't set you up with a loaner. But whatever, that's all besides the point.

This is where my "last straw," if you will, begins. about a week ago, in some very very slushy conditions. I was driving and my blind spot monitoring system, a feature that is in a safety group that costs about 5 grand to add on, starts intermittently telling me "blind spot monitoring unavailable." I didn't think much of it at the time, as my car was muddy. I assumed the sensors were dirty. I actually distinctly remember thinking "this car is only 5 years old and has half the average amount of km's, there's no way there is something wrong." Being a small believer in superstition, thinking this to myself was a huge mistake. By a week later, the car gave me this message full time every time I started it with the blind spot monitoring activated. I washed it a few days ago, and found the message was still coming up. So I washed it again, still coming up. I decided to give it the night to see if it would reset, but lo and behold, the message came up again. I started doing some research, and found that there is a whole community of those who drive Jeep, Dodge, and Chryslers with this unit that has failed VERY prematurely, and found that they are built extremely cheaply, have a very bad water seal, and are located in a place where they are guaranteed to get wet. 90% of those experiencing this problem ended up replacing the sensors, so I decided to price out new sensors and nearly fell off my chair when I saw that these little boxes that couldn't cost more than $20 to manufacture, if not less, cost $1000 each. I decided to write the whole system off as a total loss, shut the system off, and simply never buy anything Chrysler built again. Naturally, the car being off warranty, even for a short period, I can't get any help from the manufacturer, this is a well known problem, and Chrysler seems to be ignoring it/refusing to own up and help it's customers. I hope they are aware of how much business they are losing by screwing their customers like this. It may be out of warranty but I expect these to last longer than 5 years. I'll accept responsibility for a fluke defect involved with improper care but this whole problem is manufacturer defect. I am posting everywhere I can about it, youtube videos, forums, steering people away from Chrysler, or at least to steer them away from the safety group which isn't all that safe turns out. I no longer have any blind spot monitoring when changing lanes, which isn't the end of the world, but the most significant is the fact that I no longer have and side sensors when backing out of a parking spot, which is a feature that saved my behind several times from people speeding through parking lots. I guess this car was too good to be true, that's the cost of buying a cheap luxury car. You get what you pay for, and what you pay for is countless headaches and massive repair bills on premature equipment failures. You just lost another customer, Chrysler. Never again.
