NHTSA Complaint #10564703 — 2014 CHRYSLER 200

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 12/27/13. THE NEXT DAY, AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE DRIVER PUSHED THE GAS. AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR REPEATEDLY, THE CAR MOVED. THE DEALER SAID THE CAR WAS 1 1/2 QUARTS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. SUBSEQUENTLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TO LET ONCOMING TRAFFIC PASS, THE CAR HAS STALLED AS THE DRIVER PUSHED THE GAS THEN IT JUMPED INTO GEAR. ANOTHER TIME, THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO GEAR AS THE DRIVER SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION FILTERED WAS CRACKED AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUE. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR TEST DRIVING, WE INTEND TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TEST DRIVEN OVER TIME. THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT EVIDENT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. ADDITIONALLY, TODAY SOME KNOCKING OCCURRED UNDER THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED SO IT COULD BE USED FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL, BUT I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IF IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR COULD BE REAR-ENDED. *TR
