NHTSA Complaint #10512993 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300

WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THERE IS A NOTICABLE DELAY IN RESPONDING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT. 2011. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 67,000 MILES, AND NOW HAS 83,000 MILES. THERE IS ALSO A DANGEROUS PAUSE/DELAY THAT OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. ONCE THE TRANSMISSION CATCH, IT MAKES THE CAR LUNGE IN EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT DEPENDING ON DIRECTION OF FRONT TIRES. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THE 300 HEMI DOES THAT WITH THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF THE ENGINE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AND NOT THE OWNER. *TR
