| Description of the problem | Service transmission and engine light came on while driving about 58 mph transmission basically disengaged while driving on the highway. After slowing at a stoplight , the car would not accelerate and i was nearly rear ended. Car has been at dealership for 5 days, due to be ready for pick up tomorrow after changing tcm. I was only offered a rental this afternoon-gee thanks! After some research, i am finding many similar stories in which the repairs do not hold and the owners have continued problems, the most worrisome is the transmission disengaging mid drive, and multiple breakdowns and service visits . I do not feel safe in this car and should this malfunction cause me to be crashed into and i survive, i will come at chrysler-who's advise thus far was that i purchase a service plan-again, gee thanks- i will come at them with a fury that is unmatched. |
