| Description of the problem | This is the second incident of this nature. While driving at 75 mph on the interstate, the vehicle lost all drive to the wheels. The vehicle was coasting, with heavy traffic coming from behind. The vehicle was essentially dead on the highway. My wife managed to coast to the shoulder. The vehicle check engine light was on as well a message to "service transmission". The vehicle had to be placed on a flat bed and taken to the dealer. This is not the only incident involving these vehicles. There is a serious problem with the 9 speed transmission, as there have been three technical service bulletins, from chrysler, and our vehicle has had all of them performed. The vehicle is still at the dealers so i am unable to advise what, if any corrective action will be taken. I do know my wife was scared to death when she found herself basically immobile in heavy car and truck traffic, approaching her from the rear at 75 mph. |
