Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO BUSY INTERSTATE I-80 MY VAN SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A LIMP-IN MODE. THE VAN LUNGED AND BUCKED AND SUDDENLY LOCKED INTO 2ND GEAR , CAUSING THE VAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THE TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. THE TRUCK RECEIVED NO WARNING FROM ME, IT WAS AS THOUGH I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES WITHOUT HITTING THE BRAKES AT ALL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS DEFECT. I HAD THE VAN TOWED, AND SERVICED AT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER IN PA. THEY CHECKED THE VAN AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE END RESULT WAS TO REPLACE THE RELAY TO THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THIS MIGHT WORK, HOWEVER WE WON'T KNOW FOR SURE UNLESS IT HAPPENS AGAIN!!!! THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN OR NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE AROUND TO TELL ABOUT IT.*AK
