While on interstate consumer started to slow down for the exit, car automatically downshifted on its own, and it went from 50 to 10mph in a very short distance. Consumer feels this is a unsafe condition. Took to chrysler and they said it sounds like something in the valve body.

While traveling 55mph; steering was hard to control/ difficult to turn and very stiff. Rack & pinion was cause of problem. Also, vehicle not shifting into park. Transmission line leaked fluid. Coupling was causing a leak between rubber tubing which was inserted into metal tubing. In addition, fuel rail would also leak/ ABS brakes started to lock up when applied/ water pump was leaking water, and door strap needed to be replaced due to being opened & closing hard. Taking vehicle to dealer to correct major problems.
Daimler/chrysler was contacted to inform them of these persistent probelms, not only with new yorker, but concorde,lhs and intriped. The refuse to address the probelm and even the dealership service office is giving advice to call and complain.

Please help us to get the service and attention to this matter and have chrysler repair there defects as they expect us to pay our payments. Thank you for your time and speedy action in this matter.
