THE AWD DRIVE COMPONENT OF OUR VEHICLE IS CAUSING PROBLEMS, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE A SAFETY ASPECT. THERE IS SQUEALING NOISE AT LOW SPEED, A ROAR AT HIGH SPEED AND POOR GAS MILAGE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS BOUND UP IN THE TRANSMISSION AND I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING COULD BREAK LOOSE AND ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE DEALERSHIP AGREES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND ASSERTS THAT IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED TRANSMISSION GEAR JUMPED OUT OF PARK, AND VEHICLE WENT THROUGH A GARAGE. *AK

GEARS CAN BE CHANGED WITHOUT DEPRESSING BRAKES, THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION, AND MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ASSIST IN MAKING ANY CHANGES. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH ANY DEVICE TO STOP CHILDREN FROM ENGAGING SHIFTING THE GEAR. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND POINTED OUT THAT CHANGES WILL BE MADE WITH NEW MODELS. *YH

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH MOTOR RUNNING, AND 1 1/2 YEAR OLD CHILD REACHED OVER AND PUT VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND VEHICLE MOVED. CONSUMER'S FOOT WAS NOT ON BRAKE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT, WHICH COULD BE UNLATCHED AND TAKEN OUT BUT IN THIS CASE WAS LATCHED, MOVED FORWARD, HITTING FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT. USUALLY THEIR CHILD WOULD BE SITTING IN THAT SEAT. THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED INJURIES. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH SEAT LATCH SYSTEM. *AK

SINCE CONSUMER BOUGHT VEHICLE IT HAD ALWAYS PULLED TO THE RIGHT DUE TO BENT SUBFRAME, POSSIBLY DONE AT ASSEMBLY OR DAMAGED AT DELIVERY.PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK
