Transmission jumped into low gear while driving. Nlm
The transmission slipped into low gear while traveling 70 miles per hour, which instantly slowed the vehicle down to 45 miles per hour. This occurred on a highway where the speed limit is 70 MPH. We were stuck in low gear. After we stopped and the vehicle sat a while, it would go back into high gear. This happened when we were several hundred miles from home. When we returned home, we had the transmission replaced.
Hile drivng at 15 MPH without prior warning transmission locked up and blew out on the inside while engine was running, and consumer could shift gears. But vehicle wouldn't move.
While driving about 50 MPH consumer heard noise coming from the transmission. Before she stopped vehicle and looked transmission fluid was coming out. This was the second time that she had problem with the transmission.
I have lost two starter engines in 90,000 miles, which appear to be component design flaws. The chronic stalling problem surfaced at 5,000 miles, and the chrysler technical center could not diagnose the problem. Stalling has occurred while driving the vehicle at <25 MPH (during left or right hand turns), which I believe is a safety hazard. Several times, a dealer cleaned the throttle body housing, but the problem would reoccur frequently. I notice that there are more than 10 technical service bulletins for the idle control motor, the fuel pump, stalling immediately at cold start, stalling after the transmission is placed into gear, etc. I believe that my vehicle is a lemon and dodge/chrysler has not dealt with me fairly.
Was pulling from a parking space when the left front wheel separated from vehicle. Had stopped & checked vehicle. Noticed the axle had broken. Had vehicle towed to dealer's for repairs.
