WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR IT WAS SCARY TO DRIVE FOR ME.IT IS SLOW TO PICK UP WHEN I GIVE IT GAS AND IS JERKY WHILE DRIVING LIKE A STANDARD. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. WHILE DRIVING AND THEN SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD SPEEDUP QUICKLY INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN.I HAD TO KEEP PUMPING THE BRAKE THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN. THEN WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE ICON CAME ON. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY NUMBER THAT ACCIDENTALLY CAME ON WHEN SOMEONE MOVED THE GEARSHIFT BUTTON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DRIVE ALONE 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME AND THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME THE ICON WAS OUT AND WOULD NEVER COME ON AGAIN. LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE LEAVING IT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT BACK. THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE AGAIN AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND FIX IT WHEN IT CAME IN. I ASKED IF I SHOULD BE DRIVING IT UNTIL THEN AND THEY SAID YES IT WOULD NOT HURT ANYTHING. A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND HAD IT A WEEK. SAYING IT WAS THE O-RINGS AND SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION. I PICKED IT UP TODAY AND IT STILL WORRIES ME TO DRIVE IT. IT SOUNDS LOUDER AND MAKES NOISE WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND ON. IT SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS IN FAST GEAR AND NOT IDLING DOWN WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF AND ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR AND I BOUNCE UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH DIDN'T BOUNCE BEFORE. THE TIRES FEEL LIKE THEY HIT EACH BUMP HARD. CHRYSLER RECALLED THE PROGRAMMING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE THAT IS WHEN THE TROUBLE STARTED.
