Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME, ONE BLOCK FROM HOME, VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFTED AND WENT INTO REVERSE.. LUCKELY I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM ON THE BRAKES, WHICH PREVENTED MY HEAD FROM HITTING THE WINDSHIELD, I ALSO WEIGHT 200 POUNDS WHICH COULD ALSO BE A FACTOR, I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTENCE CENTER AND IMFORMED OF MY POBLEM AND THAT I HAD A RECALL NOTIFICATION #871 CONCERNING A TRANSMISSION BLOCKING VALVE FAILURE. AUTHORIZATION WAS GIVEN TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO D&E CAR EXCHANGE WHERE THEY REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION PAN AND DISCOVERED METAL FILLINGS, THAT WAS IT! I COULD NOT GET THEM TO EVEN LOOK AT THE BLOCKING VALVE. BACK TO CHRYSLER CUSTEMER ASSISTANCE THEY STATED THAT THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE BLOCKING VALVE POBLEM ALTHOUGH THEY NEVER CHECKED THE BLOCKING VALVE PROBLEM, WHICH THERE ARE SOME SIMILARITIES. AFTER SITING A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISUE AND WHAT IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING AND STILL KEEPING MY COMPOSURE.TALKING TO NON KNOWLEGIBLE PEOPLE, NOTHING WORKED. I DIDN'T DARE MENTION "ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS" FEARING A ANTI REACTION,N I
