1995 Chrysler Concorde Electrical Problems

MY VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE INTO SECOND GEAR. I FOUND OUT WHILE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND BECAME A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, IT HAS A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN THE GAS IS APPLIED. THE PROBLEM CAME ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE ALSO COMPUTER AND IGNITION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS CRACKLING IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN THE HEATER IS ON, THE IGNITION SWITCH CANNOT BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION WHEN THE CAR IS ON OR THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AND PREVENTS FUNCTION OF THE HEATER. *TR

RECALL DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL RAIL O RING AND NUMEROUS OTHER EXPENDITURES AFTER THEIR REPAIR. *BF THE SERVICE THE CONSUMER RECEIVED DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM HE WAS HAVING. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE TRANSAXLE FLOOR SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE PROBLEM CREATED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MONEY SPENT ON REPAIRS. *TC *JB THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE DRIVES OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD POP OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL. THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THE GASKETS WERE REPLACED. THE AIR CONDITION WAS INOPERATIVE, THE PROBLEM WAS DETERMINED TO BE SHORT IN A WIRE

WE ARE NOW ABOUT TO PUT IN OUR 3RD 95 CIRRUS TRANSMISSION AND 2ND 95 CONCORDE TRANSMISSION AND FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. I HAVE SHELLED OUT NEARLY $12,000 BETWEEN THE TWO CARS IN THE LAST 6 YEARS FOR REPEATED FAILURES IN ENGINES, WATER PUMPS, STEERING ASSEMBLY FAILURES, TRANSMISSIONS, BRAKE SYSTEMS, RADIOS, AIR CONDITIONERS, FUEL RAILS, ALTERNATORS AND COMPUTER PCM'S TO NAME A FEW. BY FAR THE WORST QUALITY CARS AND HIGHEST COST OF OWNERSHIP OF ANY CARS I HAVE OWNED IN THE LAST 30 YEARS. SOMETHING MAJOR GOES WRONG WITH THESE CARS EVERY FEW MONTHS.
