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.

THIS CAR HAD A BUMPER TO BUMPER 60,000 MILE WARRANTY - TRANSMISSION AND AIR CONDITIONING SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED 100% I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FROM VANDYNHOVEN'S ONLY HAD IT SERVICED THROUGH THEM. THEY ARE REIMBURSING ME 50% ON THE AIRCONDITIONING BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO PAY 50% BUT I FEEL THAT THE EVAPORATOR CORE WAS WARRANTEED UP TO 70,000 MILES AND NOW I'M AT 71,700 AND THEY AREN'T COVERING IT IN FULL. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN AT LEAST 2 TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY WITH AIR PROBLEMS ?
