Couldn't reverse vehicle after buying the vehicle three days ago. My safety and my passengers safety wasn't safe I almost got hit from the front and back trying to reverse the vehicle to go. I can put the vehicle in any other gear and it works but the reverse. i called the vehicle repair shop and bring it in to the shop where I was told they were going to work on the vehicle for free since I only had it for three days. I paid for the warranty part and everything. This the second car I bought from Fett's city motors that been dangerous to operate on roads and highways.

CHRYSLER IS HIDING A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION TO ENGINE SOFTWARE. THE VAN IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT HESITATES AND AND THEN JOLTS FORWARD. THIS OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS AT A DEAD STOP OR WHEN CHANGING LANES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE JUMPS TO HIGH RPM WHEN YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE GAS, BUT THEN IT DOES NOT SHIFT TO THE PROPER GEAR UNLESS YOU LET OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIPS FOR 3 YEARS. I THINK THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW. THE LURCHING FORWARD AND HESITATION BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION.AND ENGINE RPM IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM!!!!!!.

IT SLOWING STARTED TO AFFECT THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING AND RESULTED IN THE ENGINE RUNNING AT 5000 RPM JUST TO MAINTAIN 55 MPH IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO PULL OFF TO SAFELY LEAVE THE HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY FINALLY DIED WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION AND IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS OVER 100 F. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD I NOT OVERWORKED THE ENGINE. *TR
WHEN TRAVELING TO FLORIDA FROM BUFFALO, THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON JUST OUTSIDE OF ORLANDO,FLORIDA. IT SLOWING STARTED TO AFFECT THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING AND RESULTED IN THE ENGINE RUNNING AT 5000 RPM JUST TO MAINTAIN 55 MPH IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO PULL OFF TO SAFELY LEAVE THE HIGHWAY. THE BATTERY FINALLY DIED WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION AND IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE TEMPERATURE THAT DAY WAS OVER 100 F. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD I NOT OVERWORKED THE ENGINE. *TR
1 WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT MY VAN THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED (WAITING AT THE LIGHT). I WENT TO THE DEALER TO ASK THEM IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY FIRST SAY THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THEN I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME VEHICLES HAVING DEBRIS ON THE ENGINES, SO THEY REPLACED HALF OF THE HEADS IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED VIBRATING, BUT THEN I NOTICE THAT WHEN SPEEDING OR SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPONDS TO THE CHANGE IN GEARS OR ISN?T ACCELERATING LIKE IT SHOULD. ALSO WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD. IT WOULD VIBRATE WHEN COMING TO STOP. *TR
