Description of the problem | Took my perfectly driving 200 in for an oil service and tire rotation. The dealer also stated there was a software update (no detailed explanation so i assumed it was the radio security) nov 21th, 2015. I waited for the service to be completed and upon driving home noticed the car acting weird, the transmission was not down shifting correctly and lunging forward terribly. I immediately contacted the dealership and they advised the software flash would take 1,000 miles-what? Sounds like bull s**t to me but i drove it over 1500 miles for christmas in in with everyone riding along asking what the heck is wrong with my car! I contacted the dealer upon my return and after some excuses and a service manger with an attitude it now goes back in jan 9th, 2016 but they are already trying to blow it off..... Drove perfect till my dealer and fca screwed it up! If they even attempt to tell me it needs to reflash or its my driving style i will immediately request a test drive in a new one and video it. Update from dec 31, 2015 fca tells me my car had the tcm and pcm updated when the problem started. Update from feb 8, 2016 well after two more visits...... This car still does not down shift correctly without a lurch forward between 2nd and 1st. Some nice pieces of crap you have built in detroit chrysler! Feb 25,2016-chrysler informed me they are aware of the lunging forward while trying to stop but no known repair is available. Keep driving it! Its a safety hazard and injury waiting to happen. |
