Consumer Description

WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHEELS AND I WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE SHIFTING AT HIGHER RPMS AND SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES, THEN IT STALLED IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY (11 AUG 2017) AND THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES, ROAD TESTED IT AND TOLD ME I WAS NOT DRIVING PROPERLY OR MAYBE THE FLUID GOT TOO HOT. I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND I THINK IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT I THINK SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. IF THE CAR THAT SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO REACTIVE AND MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN WITH ME, IT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE CAR (LUSTINE CHRYSLER-JEEP-DODGE-RAM IN WOODBRIDGE, VA) IS NOT HELPFUL.
