TRANSMISSION MAKES HARD SHIFTS. IT IS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS THE 3.6 V6. HARD SHIFTS COME AT ANY SPEED. BETWEEN I THINK 3RD AND 6TH GEAR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR ARE CASUALLY DRIVING OR PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP FAST. IT IS A JOLT THAT YOU NEVER EXPECT. WE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT ONCE. THEY SAID THEY HAD DONE AN UPDATE AND IT SEEMED BETTER. NOW IT IS OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN RATHER FREQUENTLY. LIKE 3-4 TIMES A DAY. UNSURE WHAT TO DO. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT. FEELS SCARY. USUALLY GOING STRAIGHT PROBABLY BETWEEN 25-40 MPH. I SELECTED DATE BELOW. BUT THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND CONTINUES.

BOUGHT NEW. CAR HAS 37000 MILES SO OUT OF 36000 MILE WARRANTY. ENGINE JUST STARTED CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH WE SHOWED THEM THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT FEB 16 2017. REAR ENDED BY A FORD EXPEDITION. MY AIRBAG CAME ON BUT DIDN'T DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD HARD AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON ITS OWN. IT SLOWS DOWN TO FIVE MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SPEEDS UP AGAIN. I NEVER KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THIS [XXX] CAR. IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING AND I DEMAND ALL THE MONEY I PUT INTO IT BACK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON MAY THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON ONCE IN A WHILE. BUT THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE LIGHT DOES NOT GO AWAY. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $150 TO JUST SEE IT. THE VEHICLE HAS 50,000 MILES THE MINUTE I START THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES OUT AND DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I JUST AFRAID THAT IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WONT WORK OR THEY MIGHT EXPLODE WHILE I'M DRIVING. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I GOT OFF I-70 TO STATE AVENUE- RUNS PARALLEL DIRECTIONS. THEN, WHEN I CAME TO A NUMBER OF LIGHTS- THE ENGINE REVVED UP, LIKE IT WAS JERKING MOTIONS. I PAID IT SOME ATTENTION, BUT WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. I THOUGHT I WAS ON A RACE TRACK ENGINES REVVED UP, BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO A RACE TRACK. SO, I CAME HOME- SETTLED NOW DOWN TO2:445 IN THE MORNING VERY SHAKEN UP. SO, I NOTIFIED THE TELEVISIONS NEWS STATIONS AND THE KANSAS CITY STAR NEWSPAPER AS WE SPEAK. I DECIDED TO READ THE "CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS, AND I AM SURE YOU CAN PULL THEM TOO. I JUST SEARCHED FOR CHRYSLER 200 REVIEWS- AND I READ SO MANY "EXACT" STORIES- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I CANNOT SLEEP. THIS IS THE WORST FEELING I HAVE EVER HAD. READ THE REVIEWS. HELP PEOPLE LIVE, AND GET RID OF THESE CARS. JUST THINK, IT HAS GREAT LEG ROOM- I HAD PLANS FOR MY NIECES- TO GO TO TEXAS, WE CANNOT DIE AT ONCE. I AM NOT READY TO BE BURIED- AT LEAST LET ME TEACH A FEW MORE MONTHS AND YEARS. HAD IT BEEN SNOWING, I WOULD BE DEAD. MY LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UP SIDE DOWN, SINCE 4PM. IT IS NOT JUST ME. DON;T LET THESE PEOPLE KILL KIDS,MY NIECES COULD HAVE DIED THIS WEEKEND. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PICK THEM UP, BUT I AM SO SHAKEN,I AM ICE COLD ALL OVER. I PRAY TO GOD- YOU WILL CEASE THESE VEHICLES AT ONCE. PLEASE DON;T LET ANY MORE PEOPLE DRIVE THESE CARS- AND PLEASE SHOW THESE ON FACE THE NATION ON CHANNEL 5 CBS STATIONS. THANK-GOD- MY NIECES ARE ALIVE. I AM SO GLAD TO BE HOME.
