On the cruise control, it accelerated on it's own. Had a very hard time getting pulled over safely in heavy high speed traffic. Burned up brakes/rotor. Wrote Chrysler.nothing. Airbag clock recently failed and saw article in paper about your investigation. Thank you.

  • Automatic transmission

Right before vehicle shifts into overdrive there is a jerky motion. Dealer cannot find problem, at 40 -45 mph. Also, transmission has to be rebuilt, and airbag light stays on. Dealer says it's due to an open circuit, brakes replaced twice, rotors replaced. The consumer had transmission problems numerous times. Noise in engine while driving due to serpentin belt and tensioner failure.

Belt tensioner failed and hit the main pulley which was damaged and replaced. Brakes pulsated at around 30K miles. They were maintained by turning the rotors, but the problem came back after a month. All of these problems where paid out of my pocket after I was told it is not covered under the extended warranty.
