Consumer Description

On March 1 2022 at 23,800 miles on odometer driving around curve the transmission shifter knob at console made grinding sound (like trying to change gears on moving cog). I noticed this on other curves and laid hand on knob and it was vibrating like trying to go in reverse/park? I parked car and got appointment with Don Franklin Chrysler Somerset, KY Where I purchased new one year ago. I left car with service department with verbal description and written description written on card and taped to passenger seat for technican that I thought car was trying to shift to park while traveling 50mph 04-27-2022. On 04-28-2022 I picked up car and was told fixed noise it was altenator. I drove out of parking lot and heard same noise as before, I took back and got service writter in car he observed noise and he said it will have to be checked by technician, I told him the miles had not changed 23,844 NOT TEST DROVE YET! he advided the car has computer saftey device that does not let it go to park when over 10mph go ahead and drive. I made appiontment for repair 6 weeks later (as soon as he could) also stating parts are sometimes months away. I had never used the auto park feature on this car, it is on all Chrysler cars for drivers that get out with car running and don't put in park? I paid 40,000 dollars for a car that I'm expected to wait approx 6 monthes for repair under warranty one year old! I took to independant shop and was advised junk yard parts was available but would void warrany and still could be computer causing not the gear mechanics. I sold this car at a 11,000 dollar loss. Problem is still on road meeting us in curve as we drive. Please investigate this dangerous saftey devise that appears to correct people that should not drive anyway! American made car American dealer and service department with 3rd world solutions. Manufacture, management of Don Franklin Chrysler all contacted, could care less about problem keep driving. Autopark causes rear tire lockup!
