What owners say
Transmission shuddered (felt like car was going over alot of little bumps). The symtoms were intermittent during the weekend of the 15th. Also noticed that transmission was leaking fluid . Took car to dealer and they said transmission needed to be rebuilt at a cost of approximately 1500 dollars. I contacted diamler chrysler after viewing your website and told them of all the other transmission problems documented on the site and diamler offered to split the bill with us. I still think that tey are getting away with murder because it is cheaper to settle individual cases than to admit wrong and recall all the chrysler vehicles with these transmissions. Also it is documented in consumers report that a couple from puttstown pa. Proved chryslers knowledge of this problem, and got them to put in a new transmission and the couple only paid 371 dollars in labor. I really think chrysler should be made to recall these cars. How much is enough.
Vehicle shuddered & broke down. Towed to dealer. Mechanic noticed fuel rail leaked oil on engine. Manufacturer allowed garage to repair. Had picked vehicle up & was driving & smelled fumes in vehicle. Took it back & mechanic noticed "o" rings seals leaked & replaced them. Took vehicle back & was driving when it broke down again. Towed to dealer & had fuel pump & pressure regulator & other parts replaced. Still experiencing problems with fuel rail.
Transmission slips out of reverse and forward gears. Does not want to shift into 4th gear (overdrive) at 45 MPH, causing vehicle to shudder. Incorrect ECM installed at factory.
Transmission does not shift out of 2nd gear when transmission fluid is hot, was taken to dealer, dealer did not check the car properly. Transmission also shudders when going into gear.
Transmission shudder. Engine computer intermitenly will not allow transmission into gear. Transmission serviced by dealer. Problem got worse. Transmission was rebuilt at 21,345 miles, now needs to be rebuilt again at 82,800. Chrysler states that the warrantee has expired and they are not responsible. My position is that a transmission should last longer then 60k miles after rebuild. The correct maintainance was done including using the right transmission fluid.
