Description of the problem	"takata recall" mechanical defect has been detected. My car was on the highway when suddenly it randomly began stating to "check transmission see handbook." i took it to a fiat dealership in which i immediately advised them of the diagnosis code p0741 had been provided to them at drop off before any work was performed - tony (the service advisor) said that was not helpful could mean anything. (diagnosis means: torque converter clutch circuit performance or stuck off) i was advised numbers lies and was told i needed a new transmission. Turns out there is a fault in the wiring of the system and computer which is now causing car to not stay in gear. I want to raise all awareness to this issue. Especially since the purchase of this car (only 58k in mileage) i have had to personally replace the following: number of radiator repairs: 2 sunroof: 1 transmission: faulty mechanical error total tune ups: 2 brake installments: 3 i was not made aware of any prior issues before purchase all issues have occurred due to manufacture negligence! No accidents have occurred. Please assist me in any way possible.
