| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The cvt transmission failed. There is a public danger because of sudden failure and engine revving to maximum rpm... Total loss of power to drive train. The cvt transmission replacement costs should have been debited back to the supplier at 100%. I see this is a common problem in the vehicles manufactured with the cvt transmission. Chrysler would not complete the repairs until we agreed to share in the cost. I feel this item should be recalled as a safety issue. I also feel that chrysler should refund our $750 to us in good faith. |
