FINANCED THIS CAR BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT IN AUGUST 2015. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 4 TIMES AND THE CAR IS STILL JERKING. THE 3RD TIME I TOOK IT IN THE SHOP THEY CLAIMED THEY PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WAS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. I THEN TOOK IT TO A WELL KNOWN MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW ONE. I FELT LIED TO AND KNEW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON. THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR AND I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR I DON'T EVEN HAVE, PLUS SPENDING MONEY ON A LOANER CAR. I FEEL SO HUMILIATED AND SICK TO MY STOMACH. I HAD TO MISS HOLIDAYS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE IN THAT CONDITION. PLEASE HELP ME.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOT FIXED WITHIN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (PDC) ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR MAY HAVE SPREAD ELECTRICAL TERMINAL(S). A SPREAD ELECTRICAL TERMINAL(S) COULD CAUSE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION(S) TO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. SAFETY RISK: INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION(S) MAY RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL OR A SHIFT TO NEUTRAL EVENT. EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. ISSUED ON 10-21-15. OUR LOCAL DEALERS HAVE HAD THE "PARTS ON ORDER", BUT STATE CHRYSLER HAS TOLD THEM THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE STALLING SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WHILE TRYING TO BEGIN MOTION AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. I HAVE SENT EMAILS TO CHRYSLER DIRECTLY TO HAVE THE MATTER FIXED BY CONTACTING OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS, BUT NOT SURE IF THEY HAVE REACHED OUT OR NOT AS WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
1.DELAYED/HARSH SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. ESPECIALLY HARSH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD. 2.VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN DOWNSHIFTING RAPIDLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I WAS DRIVING 55MPH AND HAD TO STOP QUICKLY, AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD THRUST/JUMP AROUND 3RD-4TH GEARS. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF STOPPING. 3.IN A SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED, BUT NOT STOPPED, AND THEN ACCELERATED (SUCH AS EXITING A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAJOR ROAD), ONCE THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED, THE ENGINE RPMS SHOOT UP, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DELAYS DRAMATICALLY BEFORE UPSHIFTING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK. 4.AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 24-26MPH, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS AROUND WILDLY BETWEEN GEARS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK. AFTER MULTIPLE SERVICE VISITS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES, THE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR OVER 3 WEEKS SINCE THIS REPAIR, AND ISSUES 2, 3 & 4 STILL EXIST. OTHER ISSUES: 1.INTERMITTENT EXTENDED CRANK TIME'2-3 TIMES LONGER THAN A TYPICAL CRANK BEFORE STARTING. A.ENGINE CODE SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THERE HAD BEEN EXTENDED CRANK TIMES. DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED REPAIRS, CITING AN OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM, BUT ISSUE CONTINUED. B.ON A SEPARATE SERVICE VISIT, WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO A RECALL AND THEY WERE AWAITING PARTS. C.RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED AROUND 12/1/15, BUT THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. THE ISSUE HAS ACTUALLY GOTTEN SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE SINCE THE WEATHER HAS GOTTEN COLD. 5.'PARK' NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO 'PARK', THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED, THE CAR WOULD ROLL FORWARD. A.THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BY REPAIRS AROUND 12/1/15.
