| 2001 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER TURNED RIGHT OUT OF PARKING GARAGE. PULLED ON I-71 S AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE. TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN LOW GEAR AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 50 MPH (CURRENT SPEED LIMIT WAS 65). RPMS WERE PAST 4000 AND OTHER CAR HORNS WERE BLARING BECAUSE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT AND WAS GOING INCREDIBLY SLOW. TRIED TO GO TO THE MANUAL SHIFTER AND STILL WOULD NOT SHIFT. PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF CAR. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND CAR WAS FINE. CAR DID IT THREE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. HAD PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPENT $600 REPLACING TRANSMISSION MODULE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM IN THIS CAR. DEALERSHIP APPEARS TO REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND UNHAPPY. *TR |
| 2000 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD | MY REAL CONCERN IS THAT I MAY HAVE PURCHASED A TEST CAR WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH. ON THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD READS, "CHRYSLER PROVING GROUNDS" VISIBLE ONLY WHEN THE WINDSHIELD IS WET. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER?*AK |
