Description of the problem | Even though chrysler recalled these vehicles to repair faulty nine speed automatic transmission systems (nhtsa campaign #16v529000), the problems are still recurring again and again following the repairs. The transmission wire harness is not being replaced, in my case the transmission was replaced but the problems continued. The auto is returned to the owner without proper road testing and with the same life/safety faulty conditions, that makes the moving auto to unexpectedly shift to neutral or engine turn-off. Also, sometimes the problem occurs when turning while in motion, with a strong steering pulling that forces the auto to the side with stability control or power steering systems not in operation (control light comes on). In order to continue moving, the auto has to be stopped in the middle of the road, placed in park and re-started while other autos are on the road near me, obviously very dangerous! These autos should not be on the road, until the problem is proven to be finally resolved by chrysler. If the manufacturer is allowed to continue with the "trial & error" solutions, then all applicable warranties will eventually expire and the auto owners will end up with a defective auto, that is not operable, is unsafe and will ultimately has no value. |
