A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

While I exited off a highway ramp to proceed on another highway, I put my indicator on to break into highway traffic, my vehicle then lost control by itself and slammed repeatedly onto the guard rails. The vehicle did not come to an immediate stop so I struggled to gain control and the vehicle stopped approximately.45 mi from the accident. It is a new car with a 100,000 miles warranty so I called the manufacturer and made a complaint. They had an investigator come out and investigate the crash and car and I don't know what the end result is because up to this day I have not received a copy of the report or any information on what happened to my car the day of the crash. I am devastated because I have been without my car ever since. It is still in the manufacturers possession. They do not answer any of my calls or respond to any of my massages. I struggled the entire winter months with my children because we had to walk in severe weather and temperatures. I am a mom with five children and its been a struggle fro me not knowing anything about my car or having it to use. Please help me because this is abuse and injustice to my civil rights.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Journey SE. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 to 25 mph, the vehicle spun out of control without any warning. The vehicle stopped after it crashed into the guard rail. The contact did not receive any injuries. The police were contacted and a report was available. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and they informed her that an investigator would come out and diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired pending the investigation. The failure and current mileages were approximately 3,000.

Journey 4-cyl

  • 1,000 miles
I purchased the vehicle on June 15,2012. Unexpectedly, on September 22, 2012 my vehicle lost control at the location I 287nb exit 41A parsippany ramp onto 80 E traffic then my vehicle lost control and slammed onto the guard rail repeatedly. I immediately notified john johnson of the incident and I pleaded for them to send me a tow truck because of my 100,000 mi warranty. Further, I contacted the manufacturers Chrysler group and explained the situation. Eventually, because of the accident cause and effect they took the vehicle and send for a contractor inspector from Pennsylvania to inspect the car. After the inspection, the contractor contacted me and told me he is sending in the report to Chrysler and wait a week before contacting them for a copy of the report. Moreover, I followed up, and Chrysler could not tell me who was handling my case. Finally, after pursuing my case someone told me that my vehicle case file was closed and sent to the legal department because it was determined that my vehicle steering wheel went out. Further, I was told that someone would be in contact with me shortly. No one contacted me and several weeks passed and I still didn't hear anything from the Chrysler group. I tried again until I got an answer and I was told to expect a letter and no further information was provided. Eventually, after a long wait, I received a letter that stated that my claim is denied and that the inspector did not find any manufacturing defect that caused the accident. I asked for a copy of the report and Chrysler refuse to provide me with the inspection report that gathered information from the vehicle imaging onboard computer systems. Additionally, I am still without my car or a car. My family and I have had pain and suffering and hardship over this ordeal. And I am still making monthly payments for a car I don't have or drive. Can you please help me?
