| Description of the problem | Vehicle since 2011 hesitates at acceleration. Transmission does not engage so the engine rpms are up to 3. 5 before it automatic lay shifts to the next gear. This happens a daily now and getting worse. Gears seems to automatically into neutral then hangs there while trying to excel. I have called chrysler last year and recently to check for recalls and online. I am told that there is a recall n23 on 4 wheel drive in my make,model and year but my vehicle is a 2 wheel drive so this n23 does not apply. Although it is the same problem as this recall. It is very dangerous at a traffic light or pulling out of an area and you accel but go nowhere. I narrowly escaped being rear ended several times. There is also a problem with my headlights. After i purchased my vehicle in2006 i took into my local dealership x 2 for them to make sure my headlights are properly lined up. I can not see the roads at dark, i have had to drive with my brights on for years. I also see that the nada has a recall on the reflectors in the headlamps! But chrysler does not recognize that recall in my vehicle either. I would like for the transmission recall to be recognized because it is not just for a 4wd , but 2wd also. |
