POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO DISPLAY SEVERE SHUTTERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, POWER WILL SUDDENLY DECREASE AND THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN, THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED REPAIR ATTEMPTS. PROBLEM DOES NOT ALWAYS PRESENT ITSELF, SO IT IS DIFFICULT FOR DEALER TO TROUBLESHOOT. MOST RECENTLY, BECAUSE THE DEALER TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO PRESENT ITSELF, THE CHRYSLER FIELD OFFICE REFUSED REPAIR EFFORTS - DESPITE MY CLAIMS AND EVIDENCE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELRATE AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A DODGE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. I HAD THE RECOMMENDED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE ABOUT 45K-55K MILEAGE.*AK

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
DURING RAIN, SNOW, OR ICY CONDITIONS, THE ACCESSORY BELT PULLY OR IDLER GETS WET AND THE BELT COMES OFF RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ALTERNATOR, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE MOST RECENTLY 04/22/01 DURING A RAIN STORM IN CHICAGO.
