 Description of the problemThere have been 2 incidents within 6 months where upon acceleration onto a highway from an on-ramp, the vehicle will suddenly light up different warning lights in the dash stating that the 4wd is not functioning, the auto stop/start is inactive, and the vehicle will no longer be able to accelerate no matter how much you press on the gas. The car starts running at very high rpms, around 4,000-5,500 rpms, but will no longer accelerate past 40 mph. There is no more power being driven to the engine, the rpms are stuck at high revolutions, and you are not able to accelerate. This occurred as soon as the vehicle entered a busy highway, and immediately lost acceleration power. This is a serious safety risk, and it has happened to many other people with the same vehicle as reported on carcomplaints. Com another issue that is a safety risk is when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position, the transmission will not accelerate but will hesitate for a few seconds, then roughly jerk into gear and take off. This is also a safety risk because when the car does not accelerate, your first reaction is to press on the gas pedal more, but when the transmission finally shifts into gear, it accelerates way too fast because of the amount of power you were giving the gas pedal. This happens constantly. Chrysler has taken no interest in solving these issues, and we have already had a new engine and transmission installed in this year old car, but none of the issues have been resolved through this, but have actually gotten worse. This car is no longer reliable, or safe to drive, and it is unacceptable. These transmission issues will cause accidents, as the loss of acceleration and power make being able to maneuver on the roads or the highway a severe risk. I have all service records for this vehicle upon request.
