NHTSA Complaint #10253569 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300C

INTERMITTENT DELAY WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE DELAY CAN BE UP TO 7-8 SECONDS DURING WHICH TIME THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUTS. THERE IS ALSO A LOW RUMBLING NOISE THAT OCCURS WHEN OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE. THE PROBLEM BECOMES A DANGER WHEN BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR PERFORMING A THREE POINT TURN, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL END UP STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD UNABLE TO MOVE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT COUNTLESS TIMES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY KEEP GETTING THE SAME FAULT CODES INDICATING A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN SHIFT MODULE AND TRANSMISSION. THEIR SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO CHANGE THE SAME PART A SHIFT MODULE THREE TIMES WHICH HAS REQUIRED THEM TO KEEP MY CAR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AFTER WHICH THEY INFORM ME THAT THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS FIXED BUT DON'T KNOW. *TR
