POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN '95 WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS AND 75,000 MILES. THE TRASNMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES AND THE LAST TWO TIMES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE 1ST OF AUGUST 2000. THE LAST 16 MONTHS THE CAR HAS HAD A PROBLEM OF "SLIPPING" THE TRANSMISSION INTO WHAT IS CALLED "LIMP MODE" WHICH IMMEDIATELY SHIFTS THE CAR INTO LOW GEAR WITH NO WARNING AND IT WILL FLUCTUATE BACK INTO GEAR AND INTO LOW GEAR UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAS A DEFECT WHICH CANNOT BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THIS LIMP MODE PORBLEM OCCURS THE EFFECTS AT LOW SPEEDS ARE DRAMATIC AND IT RECENTLY OCCURRED WHILE DOING 60 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I AM A FATHER OF TWO GIRLS AND I DON'T WISH TO LEAVE MY WIFE A YOUNG WIDOW BECAUSE I, THE LITTLE GUY, CAN'T GET A BIG DOG LIKE CHRYSLER TO FIX OR REPLACE THIS CAR. THE CAR HAS HAD TWO RECALLS, TWO BLOWN AIR CONDITIONING UNITS AND VARIOUS OTHER PROBLEMS. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THROUGHOUT THE LAST 3 MONTHS WE HAVE NOTICED THAT OUR CARS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING UP. IT HAS BEEN SHUDDERING EVERYTIME IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR AND FROM 3RD TO OD. IT ALSO HAS SLAMMED INTO GEAR OCCASIONALLY. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED FOR SEVERAL REASONS. ONE IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS IS HER CAR AND THEY ARE USUALLY WITH HER. ALSO, WE ARE VERY UPSET WITH THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THIS CAR ONLY HAS 64000 MILES ON IT. THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE BREAKING THIS EARLY. WE TAKE EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF OUR VEHICLES AND WANT TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF ITS OCCUPANTS. THANK YOU. *AK

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT COVER IS DISENGAGING FROM IT'S DESIGNED APPARATUS. IT APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY DIRECT SUNLIGHT THAT IS REMOVING THE VINYL COVERING TO THE HOUSING COMPARTMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS THE SAFTY OF THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. HAS THE PROPER FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE COVER. AND DUE TO THE COVERING BEING LOOSE, COULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY AT ANYTIME WITHOUT IT'S DESIGNED CAUSE.
