Description of the problem | In november 2015, while driving to virginia from florida, the transmission service light came on, check engine light illuminated, paddle shifters were disabled, and the vehicle went into a limp mode. I was able to get into gas station and tried to place into park, dash then told me not able to place into park, thus i forced it to turn off. I returned to the car 20 minutes later and it started back up with the check engine light still on and i was able to drive home. The check engine light then cleared itself and took to dealer 2 days later, they stated nothing was wrong w/ it but maybe the wiring recall would fix it but they were able to find a stored code that said it was a communication breakdown with the transmission. I began to have hard shifting issues in march. I finally had to contact chrysler customer care as the dealer would not timely fix the recall. It was then fixed in march. They did a learn and play on the transmission and it has fixed the hard shifting. Since march, 3 difference occasions with two of them in the two weeks and multiple times on each occasion the transmission service light has illuminated, check engine light come on, and the car go into limp mode. The limp mode is very dangerous as it puts me in the middle of the street sometimes and cannot go anywhere. I have been left in the middle of exit ramps of highways, i have been left at lights, etc. Each time we go to the dealer and they cannot recreate this (but they state they can only drive it a few miles) so it never gets fixed. This time, i was told by the service manager, chrysler knows of the issue and it is a low voltage issue telling the transmission to shut down but they said they are trying to get it approved by the federal govt as a recall. I have great concerns of this car, i have paid $32,000 for a new car and it leaves me very vulnerable and not safe at all! |
