 Description of the problemIn january 2018, took the van in because of jerking motion shifting out of gears. Would go from first gear, skip second gear and then jerk hard into third gear, almost feeling like the van was going to stall. Chrysler dealership stated that chrysler doesn't know how to fix the problem but doing an engine stall reset with the computer system in the car may fix it. That worked for about 2 weeks and the jerking motion started to happen again. Most times it was at speeds between 15-20 mph, but then it started to happen at speeds like at 40mph. Then yesterday, while driving on the highway, there was stop and go traffic, and as i was trying to accelerate, the car jerked so hard twice, i thought i was rear ended. The check engine light came on, and the car began to accelerate on its own. I tried to brake and at first was unable to. Finally the car slowed down, but the rpm's were reving at 4 while i was only going 25mph and then stalled. The car would not shift out of first gear, and would not go any faster than 25mph. I was able to get off the highway before being involved in a crash as it was rush hour traffic on the one of the most busiest highways in miami. So now my car is at the dealer and they are telling me that they are going to try to replace the valve body of the transmission, and if that still gives them problems, they will have to replace the whole transmission. This van is a year old!!! The service advisor said that they are just doing what chrylser is telling them to do to try and fix this problem. Very sad chrysler. This is a huge safety issue and telling consumers that they don't know how to fix a problem that could be life threatening or they are going to "try" to fix it is unacceptable. Many of us that own vans have small children that are in them everyday and this is what we have to deal with. At this point, i want new manufacturer van.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
