After 2.5 weeks of replacing all batteries Stop and Go stopped working again. I have read many people reporting that if you are driving a lot of short trips that will not get Stop and Go battery charged and that's why the feature is not working. And I think that this is what is happening in my case.
To me this is really annoying. Stop and Go should be working no matter how short is the distance that you are driving every day. This is what I call BAD DESIGN. PERIOD.
I love my van but NO WAY I would recommend it to any one. PERIOD. Everything about this van is like half cooked:
1- Stop and go does not work well
2- Automatic Cruise control fails to detect the car on front if it's stopped
3- Frontal Collision Warning system sometimes comes from factory unaligned and requires to be aligned properly by the dealer
4- PAINT ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5- Sliding doors not working properly
6- So many different multimedia issues!!!!!!!!!!!!! From black screens to touch screen no responding....
7- A/C smell
8- Batteries that do not last even a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9- Plenty of other malfunction reports in this and other places online
The most I love the car the most aggravated I get with all these imperfections. I'll never buy a Chrysler again in my life. I bought it because nobody else was offering a better deal comparing money against features. Now I comprehend that how good are those features if they are half cooked. No wonder they were offered almost at no cost compared with Honda and Toyota. I drove a Toyota Prius for more than 10 years. Every single feature in the two cars I drove JUST WORKED. None failure ever. With Chrysler you have to always think "will it work this time?"
And it's not me alone. The technician confirmed me that he is constantly replacing Stop and Go batteries up to the point that they have been few times in back order.
