While driving home, one block from home, vehicle suddenly down shifted and went into reverse.. Luckely I had the presence of mind to immediately slam on the brakes, which prevented my head from hitting the windshield, I also weight 200 pounds which could also be a factor, I contacted chrysler customer assistence center and imformed of my poblem and that I had a recall notification #871 concerning a transmission blocking valve failure. Authorization was given to have the vehicle towed to d&e car exchange where they removed the transmission pan and discovered metal fillings, that was it!
