I was on my way to pick up a new Fuel Pump for my car when I noticed that now the speedometer isn't working. Then my check engine light came on. Then car died, so I waited for 15 min to start the car up. This usually works b/c before I have broken down on the I-10 many times, but if you wait 15 min the car usually starts up. Its bad that I have gotten used to this with car but that is the way its been 5 months after buying it. So now my car isn't even switching gears. I just checked the transmission fluid and its ok so I don't know what is wrong with it. And i'm supposed to be going out of town this weekend. Guess that isn't happening now. Has anyone ever had this problem? Why would the speedometer stop reading? and why would it stop switching u gears? I'm starting to hate this car.

The transmission sensor failed one day in January. I live in Erie, Pa, so you know that winters can be bad. The whole transmission literally froze up. The dealer refused to cover it under waranty.

My car seized in the fast lane of the highway in rush hour traffic in downtown Toronto! It took 45mins for my delaership to contact a tow truck, and another 45mins for the tow truck to show up. I waited 6 hours for the car to be fixed (and paid the $100 warranty deductible) at the dealership. They wouldn't provide me with a courtesy car, and wouldn't give me a ride home because it was too far from the dealership.
Four months later the ABS sensor had to be replaced (again paying the $100 warranty deductible) along with the ignition cylinder (which I had to pay $400 for). Upon getting the car back my stereo didn't work. Now Chrysler is denying responsibility and telling me that I am responsible for the cost of sending the stereo out, the parts, AND the labour. I've contacted Chrysler Canada who refuses to look into it because it isn't a manufacturers defect. Not the service one would expect from a "Five Star Dealership". I am in the process of trading in this car, and needless to say I will not be purchasing another Chrysler vehicle ever again.

Great car not worth the pain in the end. FYI, maintenance was maintained on time.
