ALL THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE STARTED LIKE MY FOOT IS ON GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKES, I PUSHED ON THE BREAKS AS HARD AS I CAN WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE, I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAPPEN. I DROVE THE CAR THIS AFTERNOON, IT IS DRIVING FINE. I WENT TO A PARKING LOT AND I APPLIED THE BREAKS THEN PUSHED GAS AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. MY BREAKS ARE FINE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN AND WHY IT HAPPENED, BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT MY BREAKS EWRE FULLY APPLIED, AND THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT MOVED ON ITS OWN. SKID MARKS WERE VISIBLE, BUT THE CAR KEPT MOVING.*AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS ALL THE OTHERS, THIS WONDERFUL NEW TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR UPON TAKE OFF PERIODICALLY. I'VE HAD TWO NEAR MISS COLLISION IN INTERSECTIONS WHEN IT POPS OUT. TRANSMISSION ALSO SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A HANDFULL OF MARBLES IN IT. ALL THE COMPLAINTS MAKE ME FEEL BETTER BECAUSE IF I EVER GET KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT POPS OUT OF GEAR MY WIFE CAN SUE THE PANTS OFF OF CHRYSLER! HOPEFULLY THEY WILL RECALL THIS BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT!!!
