POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON THE CITY STREET (OR ANYWHERE), IT JERKS VIOLENTLY AS IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND GEAR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS RELEASED BACK IN 2006. BUT OF COURSE, NO RECALL WAS ISSUED AND I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALERSHIP (EVEN THOUGHT I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR 11 YEARS).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. STALLS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY OR AT IDLE WHEN TURNING EX. WHEN TURNING AT INTERSECTION OR TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR CAN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE CAN SOMETIMES BE TURNED ON RIGHT AFTER IT HAS SHUT OFF OR CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO CRANK UP. 10 MINUTES IN A BUSY INTERSECTION IS A LONG TIME WAITING FOR A VEHICLE TO CRANK UP.

THE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK? THIS STARTED OFF HAPPENING ON OCCASION. BUT NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO ALMOST A PERMANENT SITUATION. THIS CAUSES A HAZARD BECAUSE IN ORDER TO NOT BEING ABLE TO AVOID BEING STRANDED. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE. RUNNING THE RISK OF THE CAR ROLLING AND CAUSING A COLLISION. CRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. AS I'M AWARE THAT IT'S A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PART CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO A PROBLEM THAT SPANS FOR SEVERAL YEARS OF THIS SHIFTING SYSTEM.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW SHIFTER. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS IDENTICAL TO RECALL K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECAL. I SUSPECT THIS IS AN OVERSIGHT. I WILL UPDLOAD THE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALER WHEN I GET IT BUT AT THE MOMENT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER.
