THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY, THERE WAS A FAULTY TRANSFER OF POWER, AND THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE ENGINE REFUSED TO TURN OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS ADJUSTED AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS LATER, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER FOUR DAYS LATER WITH THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS BEFORE THE REPLACEMENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING WE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE HAD STOPPED AND WE WERE JUST COASTING FOR A FEW BLOCKS. THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. SOME MESSAGES POPPED UP AND AFTERWARDS, WHEN WE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. GOOD THING WE WERE NOT GOING FAST OR IN TRAFFIC OR I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED. WE TOWED THE VEHICLE, AGAIN, TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOO SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TURNING ON. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WANTED TO TURN ON BUT JUST COULDN'T. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING, RADIO, WINDOWS, ETC.

STEERING
THERE'S A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE SUPPOSEDLY COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. I HAVE YET TO FIND ANYONE PINPOINT WHAT IT IS PLUS I'M TOLD THE WARRANTY IS UP. I ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE NOISE COMING AND GOING LAST YEAR. NO ONE HEARD IT UNTIL MAY 17 WHEN I DROVE ABOUT 40 MILES AT 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. SINCE THE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES FOR THE NOISE TO START HAS SHORTEN TO DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AT 30 MPH. I CAN'T EVEN GO ACROSS TOWN TO GET GROCERIES W/O THE NOISE STARTING UP AND GETTING REALLY BAD. AFTER BEING AT THE DEALER TWICE AND 2 OTHER MECHANICS I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S EITHER THE INTERMITTENT STEERING SHAFT OR THE STEERING RACK. NOW ONLINE I SEE A RECALL ON SOME RIVET. EVEN A CALL TO CHRYSLER ITSELF YIELDED NO RESULTS. I'M TOLD THIS REPAIR WILL COST $1,000 TO $2,000!!! I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY!! PLEASE, PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME!! I'M DEPENDENT ON MY CAR!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND BECOME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. SOME TIMES IT ALLOWS YOU TO PULL OVER AND PUT INTO PARK THEN DRIVE, MOST TIMES THE ENTIRE CAR EXCEPT THE RADIO, BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND HAVE TO PULL POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL TO RESET CAR. I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES NOW WITH SAME ISSUE. EVERY TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS AS PROBLEM IS NOT EASILY REPRODUCIBLE AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN STRUCK BY CARS FROM BEHIND OR ON SIDE OF ROAD.

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE.

I AM NOW WAITING FOR THEIR REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE HAS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS EXPERIENCED A JERK IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE WITH AND FORCE FROM MYSELF. THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT AT SUCH A RAPID AND UNCOMFORTABLE SPEED THAT THE CAR JERKS AT EVER SHIFT. I WAS BRAKING FOR A STOPLIGHT LAST WEEK WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTED AND JERKED CAUSING ACCELERATION THAT ALMOST MADE ME REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ALREADY STOPPED. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWO WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE. THEY THEN REPLACED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND AM NOW STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL CHRYSLER RELEASES A RECALL THAT PROVIDES A COMPUTER UPDATE TO FIX THE ISSUE. I EMAILED CORPORATE BUT THEY REFUSE TO RESPOND TO ME AND NO ONE WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE. I HONESTLY JUST DON'T WANT TO KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER'S' NEGLIGENCE.

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN DASH ERUPTED IN MULTIPLE FAILURE WARNINGS INCLUDING TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN FIRST GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST. PULLED OVER AND WAITED. DASH AND TRANSMISSION AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I DROVE SLOWLY HOME. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER ON 29TH AND THEY UPDATED SOFTWARE. HAD THIS EVENT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY I OFTEN USE I BELIEVE THE SUDDEN LOSS OF TRANSMISSION RESPONSE AND LOCKING UP IN FIRST GEAR WOULD HAVE CAUSED MY CAR TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.
