This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When driving vehicle will not shift higher than second gear. Engine revvs, but vehicle will not accelerate. Dealer stated transmission speed sensor needed to be replaced.
Transmission failed while driving at 70 mph. Dealer has been notified. *akconsumer adds that the transmission blew out which made the van out of control.
Intermittently while pulling out gear shift will move by itself into neutral or in reverse. Consumer has taken vehicle to dealer 3 times, and performed diagnostic test, but no codes were found. Vehicle checks out normal, could not duplicate defect. Consumer states while vehicle is on and after shifting from park to drive, the vehicle will move into neutral or reverse on its own, this usually happens after driving approximately 1000-2000 miles, on one occasion while pulling out of a parking space, consumer put vehicle in drive and vehicle began to move backwards instead of forwards, dealer will be installing a co-Pilot to help determine the cause of the problem.
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.
Gears can be changed without depressing brakes, this is a normal condition, and manufacturer will not assist in making any changes. 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.
