THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPEND TWICE. I WAS TURNING ON TO A ROAD AND THE CAR LOSS ALL POWER STEERING. THE DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AND A ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT WORKED AGAIN NO INDICATORS. CALLED CHRYSLER LOCAL SERVICE THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT, AND IT WAS PROBABLY A GLITCH. THEN A WEEK LATER WHILE GOING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 35 WITH MY SON IN THE CAR I LOSS POWER STEERING AGAIN. SAME THING THO WHEN I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT ON THIS TIME THE INDICATORS STAYED ON. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER DROVE IT OF THE TRUCK THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THIS DEFECT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE.

WHILE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IT SHIFTS HARD, STALLS AFTER 1ST GEAR INTO SECOND GEAR. HAS DOWN SHIFTED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. TRANSMISSION (9 SPEED) AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS REPAIRED. SECOND TRANSMISSION AND SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED WHILE ON A HIGHWAY AT 70MPH ALMOST CAUSING A TRUCK TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO REAR END THE VEHICLE SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH NO OPTIONS TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND DURING A TEST DRIVE WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 40MPH THE RPM JUMPED TO OVER 5K. AFTER THE TECH SHUT THE CRUISE OFF IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING. THIS TRANSMISSIONS DESIGN IS SCARY AND IMMEDIATE ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. YOUR AGENCY NEEDS TO ACT NOW!
