This is regarding the transmission. While driving, the transmission would suddenly jerk as it was about to shift. This would happen mostly when slowing down, then accelerating to merge with traffic. This is a recurring problem since I bought the car in 2007 to 2020! Last occurred september 13, 2020.

All of the warning lights (instrument panel) come on while driving and the gauges fluctuates back and forth, headlights go out, the jerks but doesn't lose power. Warning lights and gauges flicker for 30-45 seconds before going out. This has happened several times but could not get it to repeat at the shop. It occurs at various speeds, at various times (mornings and night), from 25-40mph or at highway (interstate) speed. The last time of the occurrence was 11/09/2015 in the morning during rush hour traveling approximately 15mph.

I bought my chrysler 300 brand new from dealer in august 2007. My first new car. The automatic transmission and torque converter are the problem. From day one there is intermittant ":clunking" when it shifts. Park to reverse. Drive to park. But the scary one is when I'm driving, a few times a week, sometimes more than a few times a day it jumps, really lurches. Enough that at 40 MPH, your head gets a good jolt. I've taken it to dealer three times. They replaced the torque converter about a year ago. Was better for a while, now getting worse so it happens every time I drive, city and highway. Basically, they can't fix the problem. They said because it's intermittant. So I had them keep it and drive home themselves. But it happened only once to them. Well, I have the extended warranty. But I wish they would at least give me something back for paying full price for a defected car. They should have given me another car the first time I brought it in.
