Filed Nov 20, 2019 · Electrical, Suspension · 92,000 miles · CA

The transmission went out. It was fine then then lights started flickering inside and out and then when I turned the car off and tried to turn it back on it was completely dead. No lights or power at all. Had to get a jump start. Then when I tried to go it was revving up but wouldnt move and then all of a sudden jumped into gear real hard. It had significant loss of power and would get up and go. It's real slow from the start and it dangerous driving it because it will just rev up and not move then jump into gear very hard. It has almost thrown my car into the back of other cars because it jumps so bad I to gear all of a sudden. Then when you try to get out of the way of another car coming g it sometimes barely moves and it very dangerous. It has been stuck in 2nd gear ever since. It had a lot of loss of power. I had the transmission replace 2 times and both including the original are all stuck in 2nd gear. Also when I turn the car it makes a loud popping cracking sound by the wheels. Like it's going to break. Also going over speed bumps it's really loud and squeaky.

Vehicle appears to have a faulty esp (assume it stood for emergency skid protection) or anti-lock brake system. The car will slid on minor downward slops when snow is on the ground even when moving at a very slow speed (10-20mph). It doesn't have to be much snow on the ground either for this to occur. It occurs also rather the esp feature is on or off. The brakes feel like they are pumping themselves and have a grinding sound when pressed on. I am unable to control the car from sliding or shifting. It once slid into an intersection. Another time during a slide on a very minor slop, had it not been for the car in front of me being at least 2-3 car lengths ahead of me, I would have slid right into the back of it. I have taken it to keystone chrysler where I purchased it. They ran a diagnostics on it but indicated that nothing showed up. However, they refuse to actually drive the car in snow conditions to see what I am experiencing and is reporting. I am uncomfortable and extremely fearful to drive the car any longer in snow like conditions. I have a truck which I drive the majority of the winter months which is why this was not detected sooner. Additionally, the car shifts when encountering bumps in the road, especially if you're going in a downward direction and brakes are being applied. This occurs during wet or dry conditions.
