The engine cuts off for a few seconds while driving at high speeds (60 MPH). The vehicle lurches as a result. Luckily, the engine starts up again without needing to crank and the vehicle proceeds. On one occasion, when driving at slower speed (25 MPH), the vehicle stalled. I lost the power steering, and had to stop and restart the ignition using the key.

What owners say
1-put 1994 eagle vision into reverse to get out of driveway at my home. On turning wheel to left into street, car started violently shaking, would not move, and making this loud thick noise. Car is not exactly in middle of street. In fear of terrible sound, turned car off, thinking that may help what ever is the problem (didn't have any idea what to do). Concerned about being in the smack dab middle of street and being hit, turned car back on, in 'park' is ok, when I shift into any 'moving gear I.e rev, drive, o or 3) it starts making noise, shaking again, car is lurching like it is in a earthquake. Turned off. I thought if I could turn it on,put in neutral and roll to curb, I could get out of the street. As soon as I get to a 'rev', before neutral, starts the shaking, noise, etc. I go to neutral, it won't move. I am 126 lbs, alone, but my thought was to push it to start rolling to curb, won't budge, wheel against well. I get back in, put in park, turn off. Walked around, noticed the passr front tire against wheel well. Tried turn wheel, sharp left, it wouldn't respond,wheel straight was hitting wheel well piece which was why the wheel would not turn. I call a tow truck to move the car. Tow truck driver arrives I tell him what happened, show the wheel position, stuck to wheel well. Tow truck driver car said he saw control arm was torn/broken/apart from frame of car. Car towed back into driveway until husband arrived and discussed. 2-lower control arm is torn away from sub frame. Consequences, disrupted traffic, possible loss of control, injury to self, injury to others, death if car went out of control at high speed or on busy street or in intersection. 3-in progress. Car towed to dealer 09/14/04. 9/14/04 dealer says looks like sub frame cracked, asked if in a accident. No. Dealer says he called chrsyler, chrysler says don't do anything they want to have zone rep. Look at it, and will let me know how to proceed. 9/15/04 did not hear from dealer at all, no messages.
While driving 70 MPH vehicle shifted into another gear. Vehicle started jerking. Transmission had been rebuilt. But a week later, vehicle started having problems. Please add VIN.
Irregular shifting. Transmission gets stuck in first. Must pull off road, stop, and restart the engine to correct. Lurching forward after coming out of reverse.
The transmission couldn't not be rebuilt. It had a crack in the housing. It cost me $2275.00 to have replaced. It has been failing for about a year. It would at times violently jerk the passengers forward when trying to shift upwards and was undependable in case fast accelleration was needed. It finally quit shifting up to 4th gear. The fuses tend to overheat for some unknown reason which has caused the windows not to work and some of the the interior instrument lights not to work. The brakes keep having problems. I can't get them fixed to my satisfaction. I didn't list them as a problem because there have been too many trips to get the brakes fixed to list in the form.
When accelerating between 35-45 MPH the vehicle stalls, takes off with a very bad jerk. For a second it stalls, and for a second it accelerates to full throttle. Vehicle is at the dealership for the third time for this problem. The dealer has not been able to fix the problem.
Dealer would not fix lurching problem under warranty. Now have spent over $3,300 to correct the problems with this car. Many other people are experiencing the same problems with chrysler transmissions
After bring vehicle to a complete stop, and before transmission could be set in park, vehicle lurched forward at high throttle. While firmly depressing brake pedal, the vehicle proceeded to move approx. 30 feet. System finally slowed enough to shift to park.
Automatic transmission jerks when shifting from second to third gear and makes a clunking noise when coming to a stop.
Loose axle causing car to jerk while changing speeds. Piece of metal was stuck in the valve of the engine, causing it to stall when not accelerating.

- Risk
- Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.
