| Description of the problem | Mileage 26,000+ transmission failed while driving on the highway this morning. Revs went very high but couldn't generate speed to keep up with traffic (check engine light came on)... Car didn't move past 2nd gear. Having read all the complaints about transmission issues cause by the lack of "mature" software as cited by fiat chrysler ceo sergio marchionne, i'm wondering why the vehicle hasn't been recalled to prevent a potential dangerous event from occurring. I was lucky i could get off the highway this morning and get to a dealership close by. At this stage - the vehicles has had a recall for the radio r40), wipers, liftgate.. What else mr. Marchionne... Do they right thing for your consumers and recall the vehicles who are as you say lacking "mature" programming. Navigation system not working either. I am seriously considering trading this in for a non chrysler car. |
