| Description of the problem | The transmission randomly slips. From a complete stop, the accelerator is depressed all the way, the rpms are at 5000 and the car does not accelerate. Suddenly there is a loud bang and the tires will chirp and the car takes off. The dealer scans the computers and finds no error codes. How can that possibly be with a violent occurrence like this????? I think fca has doctored the software so that it won't show transmission error codes. With all the hundreds of complaints on this problem why aren't you investigating this? Do people have to start dying before you get off your asses and do something? |
