Consumer Description

TOOK CAR IN BECAUSE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP. WATER WAS IN TRANSMISSION WITHOUT IT EVER BEING IN A FLOOD OR HIGH WATER. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAINED AND REPLACED TWICE TO REMOVE WATER. 2000 MILES LATER TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COMPLETELY. CALLED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE EITHER UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO TELL ME HOW WATER GOT IN THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT IT EVER BEING IN A FLOOD OR HIGH WATER. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DESIGN OF THE CAR WITHOUT A DIP STICK TO CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID. NOR ARE THEY WILLING TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER ALL DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THEIR 300C MODELS. NO MORE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FOR ME. *TR
