POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE FIRST DAY I LEASED THE VEHICLE (3/27/2015). THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH UP AND DOWN. IT WILL ALSO JUMP GEARS ON THE DOWNSHIFT AND PROPEL THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE. THE ISSUES ARE STILL PRESENT AND IT HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AS A RESULT OF THESE ISSUES JUST LAST WEEK. A CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE OTHER LISTED ISSUES STILL EXIST.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE MONTH TWO, TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE TOLD A VARIETY OF REASONS WHY THE CAR ISN'T WORKING. CAR STOPPED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WOULDN'T START OR MOVE (WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR BOTH TIMES). CURRENTLY CAR WILL SPEED UP WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, ALSO CAR TRANSMISSION THUDS INTO GEAR FEELING LIKE THE CAR IS LITERALLY GOING TO FALL APART. BEEN TOLD THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CAR IS CLEARLY UNSTABLE, UNSAFE.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOT 6 MONTHS LATER THEY DID A RECALL ON IT. AFTER THIS THE CAR WOULD ALWAYS COMPLETELY SKIP SECOND GEAR WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. SO BAD THAT IT SHUTTERS BACK AND FORTH WHEN STOPPING, WHICH STARTLES ME AND SOMETIMES ITS HARD TO RUN INTO PEOPLE OR OBJECTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE CHRYSLER FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEY TELL ME IT'S FINE. THE SERVICE PEOPLE ALL AGREE THAT IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO COVER THIS UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A SLOW ROLL, A YIELD, AND TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, THE CAR SHIFTS ERRATICALLY. THE CAR WILL BE IN 3RD GEAR, WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN SECOND GEAR BUT IT WON'T DOWNSHIFT, THE CAR WILL LITERALLY PROPEL YOU WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT ACCELERATION OF THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT SHIFTS INTO FIRST LIKE YOU'RE IN A RACE CAR. AT THIS POINT IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN BEING IN THE LANE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE IN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BUT ALSO NOBODY WANTS TO RIDE IN MY NEW CAR BECAUSE THE RIDE IS SO ROUGH. IT'S APPOINTING AND ABSOLUTELY UNETHICAL THE WAY CHRYSLER IS TREATING ME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH MONEY I SAVED FROM DEPLOYING TO AFGHANISTAN AND ALL FOR NOTHING. WHEN I THINK ABOUT TRADING THE CAR IN, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE ME EVEN LESS MONEY FOR THE CAR BECAUSE IT SHIFTS HOW IT DOES EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SAYS IT'S SHIFTING AS INTENDED. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS EXTREMELY ERRATIC SHIFTING FOR A YEAR NOW. ALSO WHEN YOU'RE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AND DON'T STOP COMPLETELY THE CAR WILL DO A BURNOUT AT TIMES, OBVIOUSLY LAUNCHING YOU FORWARD. IN THE SNOW AND ICE THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT VIOLENTLY AND CAUSING THE CAR TO START SLIDING DOWN HILLS. ALL THESE ISSUES HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS FROM 2-5 MPH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS WITH LAST REPORT CAR STOP SUDDENLY AND CONSOLE SAID TO PLACE CAR IN PARK. GLIDED OFF ROAD AND HAD TO RE-START. TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS OLD. CAR HAS 3900 MILES. WHAT HAPPENED WAS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IN R24/NHTSA 15V-470. SERVICE REP TOOK ME ASIDE AND TOLD A STORY ALL SHOULD HEAR. CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND IS FIGHTING COMPLAINTS UNDER WARRANTY IF OWNERS ARE NOT CHANGING OIL AT "REASONABLE" INTERVALS. IT ALREADY HAPPENED AT THEIR DEALERSHIP WITH A CLIENT THAT WANTED THE ENGINE REPLACED. SO WORD TO THE WISE...HE KNOWS THAT CHANGING THE OIL IS NOT THE ISSUE, BUT WAS GIVING US A HEADS UP ABOUT CHANGING THE OIL SO NOT TO VOID THE WARRANTY. SOUNDS LIKE CHRYSLER MAY NOT PLAY NICE ON THE ISSUE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE WITH THE 200. SO CHANGE YOUR OIL AND KEEP A RECORD OF IT!
