Description of the problem | On sunday, april 12th at 5:30am, i was driving southbound on i-94 at 65mph when all of a sudden i lost all power to my transmission. My gas pedal was useless & i had to coast off the expressway to the shoulder (i was in the far left lane & the shoulder there is too narrow). If this had been at a different time, i would have no doubt been killed (as well as others i'm sure), for i wouldn't have had the room or momentum to coast onto the shoulder & would have been struck from behind. Chrysler wants the car fixed & not even the dealer knows exactly what is wrong, citing it as a 'shotgun fix'. And, i'm on an expressway (or two or three) everyday. This car is a danger & it will no doubt do this again. |
