Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE FAILED BY SHIFTING ERRATICALLY WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, TX DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC AND IF NOT HANDLED IN A QUICK RESPONSIVE MANNER, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURIES OR DEATHS TO MANY PEOPLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED PROMPT AND STRAIGHT FORWARD. NATURALLY THE WARRANT HAD JUST GONE OUT ON THE VEHICLE AND AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM MYSELF, THIS IS A PROBLEM OF WIDESPREAD PROPORTION AND A POOR DESIGN ON THE PART OF DODGE MOTOR COMPANY KNOWING THESE VEHICLES WERE MASS PRODUCED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT CARING.*AK
