NHTSA Complaint #10455534 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300C

I'VE NOTICED WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE THERE IS A NOTICEABLE DELAY. IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VISE-VERSA, THERE'S IS ALSO A PAUSE/DELAY THAT OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. NOTICEABLE WHEN TRYING TO ATTEMPT A U-TURN AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH. ONCE IT DOES CATCH THERE'S A INSTANT LUNGE/ACCELERATION, CAUSING EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE WHIP FLASH AND HAS CAUSED ME TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT. ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR SOME TIME I DIDN'T KNOW THE ISSUE WAS SO WIDE SPREAD. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. UNTIL THIS HAZARD/DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED I WILL NOT CONSIDER CHRYSLER FOR MY NEXT PURCHASE. *JS
