#710393August 23, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF PARK WITHOUT USING THE KEY. CAN ALSO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED A CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION BUT TOLD ME THAT THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE THIS WAY. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CENTER AT 1-800-992-1997 AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED THIS WAY AND THAT THIS IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE ANYONE CAN GET IN MY CAR AND PULL IT OUT OF PARK WITHUOT USING A KEY AND SOMETIMES WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR I REMOVE THE KEY WHILE IT IS STILL IN DRIVE. SHOULD I NOT HAVE TO PLACE THE GEARSHIFT IN PARK BEFORE I REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY? AND SHOULDN'T I NEED TO USE THE IGNITION KEY TO TAKE THE GEARSHIFT OUT OF PARK?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
I PURCHASED A USED CAR, AND SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO FIX MINOR THINGS IF THE CAR IS OLD, BUT THIS CAR IS A 1996. ALMOST STILL NEW AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE TRANSMISSION COULD BAD THIS SOON. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WAS LEAKING OIL SO I FIGURED IT WAS JUST SOMETHING SIMPLE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO JIM EARP CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH ON 55TH AND L STREET THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY HEADGASKETS, AND BRAKES.I DID. THEY CAR WAS STILL LEAKING SO I TOOK IT BACK IN ON 6/10/99 BUT THEY COULD'T LOOK AT IT. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION IS PROBALY CRACKED. I DO HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND WHO BOUGHT HIS CAR BRAND NEW AND THE SAME PROBLEM, HEADGASKETS WENT BAD, HIS ENGINE CRACKED, AND NOW HIS CAR IS IN THE SHOP FOR BAD TRANSMISSION. MY CAR MAKES MORE NOISE NOW AND IT DIDN'T BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUT I KNOW 2 PEOPLE AND MYSELF ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE PLYMOUTH BREEZE. *AK
