SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TRIED FOR OVER A MILE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE SWITCH AND BRAKE. I STARTED ON LEVEL LAND, WENT UPHILL AND DOWN AND HAD THE BRAKE TO THE FLOORBOARD. THERE WERE TOLL BOOTHS WITH A NUMBER OF OCCUPIED VEHICLES IN LINE. TO AVOID INJURYING OR KILLING SOMEONE, I LEFT THE ROADWAY HITTING BARRIERS AND UNOCCUPIED VEHICLES. MY WIFE SUFFERED NUMEROUS BRUISING AND BENT GLASSES. I SUFFERED A BROKEN STRERNUM AND HAVE DEVELOPED FLUID IN MY LUNGS AND POSSIBLY AROUND MY HEART. MY PROGNOSIS IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS PUSSING ON THE GAS TO HEAT UP THE ENGINE, WHILE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL THE GEAR CHANGED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND THE CAR BECAUSE IT MOVED IN REVERSE DIRECTION LIKE A ROCKET FROM THE DRIVE WAY TO THE STREET TO HIT ANOTHER STANDING CAR AND MOVED OFF THE STREET. OTHER THAN BODY DAMAGE THE ENGINE DIDN'T WORK AFTER THE ACCEDENT AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND UNTIL NOW SINCE 4/2000 I'M FIXING THINGS RELATED TO THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS USED. RIGHT NOW I CAN CHANGE FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT PUSHING ANY WHERE! NOT EVEN ON THE BRAKES! I THINK WHAT HAPPEND WASN'T FAIR TO ME AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH BECAUSE I DIDN'T CAUSE ANY DEATH OR ENJURY TO ANYONE. EMAD.THX. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AFTER APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR'S USE, WILL GO TO EMERGENCY SCENARIO AND ONLY HAVE 3RD GEAR AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS ON THE HIGHWAY YOU ARE ABLE TO DRIVE BUT @HIGH RPM TO GET TO 45MPH & NO REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND TOLD ME SO; HOWEVER, THEY TESTED IT COLD AND THAT FUNCTIONS WELL. IT IS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD A HOUR OR SO USE & THEN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, IT THEN STARTS ACTING UP & REVERTS TO THE EMERGENCY SCENARIO. TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE & THEY CALL CHRYSLER; WHO GAVE THEM INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERFORMING A MODIFICATION(S). DIDN'T HELP, IT'S NOT SO DANGEROUS,LIKE LURCHING; BUT IT WILL LEAVE YOU STANDED. WONDERING IF OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ACTIVITY?*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL, BUT I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT HAS ONLY LASTED MAYBE 6 MONTHS. I 'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I WOULD LIKE THIS BROUGHT TO THE MANUFACTURES ATTENTION. I HAD TRIED TO TRADE THIS CAR IN, BUT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS NOT THE MANUFACTURE WAS UNEASY ABOUT THIS RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION . THANK YOU. *AK
