Description of the problem | I had to had my transmission replaced at 8000 miles, after a short period of the car shifting hard and slipping (less than 2 days). They tried to replace numerous parts that did not fix the issue. At 52000 miles i began having hard shifting issues again. The next day i got a service stop/start technology warning light. The next day the light came on again and had rough idol, service engine light came on. I took it to the dealer (key chrysler, xenia, oh) they replace an ignition switch yet still can't figure out the problem. The shifting issues occur mostly during two scenarios, accelerating uphill, the transmission would slip and then shift hard. Second would be if you have to decelerate (slowing down for red light), then have to accelerate without stopping (red light turns green) the car would hard shift. This was the same issues that preceded taking the car to the dealer for service and car not working properly. The first incident caused the car to go into "safe mode" which nearly lead to me be involved in an accident as i was crossing an inetersection and was unable to drive more than 10-15 mph, creating a very unsafe situation. I put the approximate date (as best as i can remember) of the first situation below. The second occurred on 8/7/16 with around 52000 miles on car |
