WHEN DRIVING AT 50 MPH AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED PEDAL GOSE STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, AND SAYS THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. *ML

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH ENGINE STALLED. TURNED OFF A/C AND VEHICLE RESTARTED. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON . CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES BY ITSELF WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT OFF OF A RAMP AFTER ACHIEVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DRIVER IS "STANDING" AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR WILL DISENGAGE, "JERK" BACK INTO GEAR, LUNGING THE CAR INTO THE INTERSECTION IF THE DRIVER IS NOT STEADY ON THE BRAKE. ALSO, THE LHS WILL, AFTER COMING OFF HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, OR, IF DRIVING A SLOW SPEED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, SAY THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, DISENGAGE, THEN LUNGE WHEN IT RE-ENGAGES NOT ALLOWING THE TRANSMISSION TO SWITCH TO A HIGHER GEAR, REMAINING IN FIRST GEAR UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. HOWEVER, IT IS APPARENT THAT AN UNWEARY DRIVER WILL NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGEMENT, POSSIBLY TRYING TO ACCELERATE PAST A CAR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY DISENGAGED AND IN NEUTRAL, CAUSING A SEVERE LUNG ONCE THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER-MOPAR WEB-SITE TO SEE IF THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS RE-OCCURING IN OTHER OWNER'S CARS; THE RESPONSE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS EVIDENT THROUGHOUT THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF THIS CHRYSLER MODEL. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
