Description of the problem | My problems started only a few weeks after purchasing the vehicle. I would be inside the car, but the car would say key not found. After moving around in the car a bit, finally, it would find the key and start. Also, i can only be 10 to 15 feet away from the car to arm it. Any further, and i can't arm, disarm or remote start the car. Doesn't make sense to have a remote start option on the remote but have it only work from 10 to 15 feet away. Transmission issues have also occurred with the vehicle. Sometimes, 1st gear will go all the way to 6000 rpm's before going into 2nd gear. Also while driving, the gears will surge/skip and then i'll hear a large knocking noise before it kicks into gear. More recently, the car just wont start. I've been told that it is the tipm and the part is on back order. Very upset. Expensive car, only 2 years old, and having all these problems. It is not right, and chrysler should recall these vehicles. I'm in a rental now, but i want my car back, fixed completely. Too much to ask?? I don't think so. Corporations taking advantage. Absolutely. Hope everything works out for me and everyone else. *jb |
