Only 38,000 miles on this car & already having to rebuild transmission.
The emergency brake sticks on and the consumer has never used it.
My transmision has stalled on me many times one of the times almost causing me to get into a very serious accident when turning into a busy highway. My car has been in dealership for almost one month now. I have also had problems with my brakes having the rotors cut once then replaced a second time. When I took my car in the first time for the transmission they said it only needed transmission fluid. Weeks later car stalled on me again and when we checked it, it had no transmision fluid and when I took it back to the dealership they said it had two leaks and I am still waiting for them to recieve parts to fix. I am very frustrated and stressed out due to this back and forth with them. I do not want the vehicle and am scared to drive it again.

Vehicle is experiencing transmission noises when changing gears and when placing the car in park there is a jolt and a thud noise. Nlm
I drove this car for 1000 miles at speeds of 55 & 60 MPH with no problems, the first trip with speed at 65mph, the cv boot flew off in heavy traffic on interstate on a friday in rush hour, luck for all no one injured. My concern is it will fly off again and hurt someone. Chrysler will not even look into the problem because we didnt stop in traffic and pick it up!!!
