Consumer Description
WHEN TRYING TO PULL AWAY IN FIRST GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY SLAM OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A LIGHT AFTER IT HAD TURNED FROM RED TO GREEN, HOW EVER SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS AND ONE SUCH OCCURRENCE LED TO A NEAR COLLISION ON OCTOBER 16TH 2012 WHILE DRIVING WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, ONCE A WEEK NOW. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT BUT NO SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR PEOPLE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. THE TSB NUMBER FROM CHRYSLER IS 21-001-10 REV. A. *TR
