Description of the problem | When started and shifted into "d" drive mode, car would self engage in manual gear "4" and then had no traction or acceleration, only reverse. Transmission completely died and would automatically go into manual "4" gear itself when put into "d" drive mode from park or while driving on the road. Very dangerous and very scary. Had it towed to dealer who wanted $1,300 to repair faulty tipm module and would not cover under powertrain warranty. Called chrysler and negotiated it down to $100. This should be a recall and is very dangerous because the car is putting itself into the wrong gear while moving and would not accelerate or move in drive mode. |
