I WAS COMING HOME FROM VISITING RELATIVES OUT OF STATE, AND GOT CAUGHT UP IN SOME TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE ONCE THE TRAFFIC CLEARED UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION JUST WHINED. AFTER PULLING OVER, SHUTTING THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THE CAR BEGAN TO DRIVE AS NORMAL FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. ONCE I WAS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME, IT SEEMED TO START DOING IT AGAIN, BUT STUTTERING THIS TIME. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 4 MILES OR SO, I HAD TO REPEATEDLY STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT 5 MINUTES OR SO, THEN GO AGAIN. TOOK ME AN HOUR TO GO 5 MILES PRETTY MUCH. I WAS UNABLE TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS IT IS A "DEALER ONLY" ITEM (RIDICULOUS!).

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM OUT OF STATE AND GOT CAUGHT UP IN TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT TWENTY MILES. AFTER CLEARING TRAFFIC, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT CHANGING FROM LOW GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT A NORMAL SPEED AGAIN.

UPON STARTING VEHICLE THE FOBIK MAY NOT FULLY SEATED IN "ON" POSITION. IF NOT FULLY SEATED, THE FOBIK COULD INADVERTENTLY MOVE TO "ACCESSORY" MODE. THIS COULD UNINTENDED SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM, INCLUDING AIRBAG SHUT OFF. THIS COULD INCREASE RISK OF CRASH UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS AND INCREASE RISK OF OCCUPANT INJURY. ALSO, THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE MAY HAVE UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF FOBIK. TWO NEW FOBIK'S ARE A PART OF RECALL PROCEDURE AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. RECALL IS A PART OF CHRYSLER NOTIFICATION CODES: L25, R03. UPDATED 10/07/15*LJ UPDATED 3/28/2016*JS UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN
