Description of the problem	The vehicle fails to accelerate properly from slow speeds. This has been an ongoing problem since a recall ("r01") was performed on the transmission. Multiple attempts by dealers to improve this condition have failed. I am told that this is the way fiat/chrysler has decided to make these transmissions work, in order to prevent failure due to a design flaw. The current software no longer allows the transmission to downshift below third gear unless the vehicle is completely stopped. Therefore, if driving conditions require you to slow down (to as slow as 1 mph) and then you need to accelerate, the transmission remains in third gear and provides little to no response. If you floor it, the transmission will sometimes, eventually slam into first gear, but only after struggling it's hardest to accelerate in third gear, which involves the torque converter allowing the engine to rev, so that the resulting shift into first gear is extremely rough and often accompanied by wheel spin. The transmission will no longer, ever, under any circumstances, downshift into second gear. The hard jolts and wheel spin of the 3-1 shift are somewhat dangerous, but are still by far preferable to the times when the transmission completely refuses to downshift, and simply leaves you a sitting duck to approaching vehicles. Simply pulling into traffic, whether it be entering a roundabout, or changing lanes from a slower lane to a faster one, or even just merging, is always stressful, because we just don't know how, or even if the vehicle will respond to throttle input. There have been times when other vehicles have had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting us, because we could not accelerate. Part of that is due to their expectations. When you pull out, they expect you to accelerate at a commensurate rate, when you don't, they find themselves on your bumper in a hurry. Somebody will get hit.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
