Owner-reported complaints naming the transmission system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Transmission reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

NOT LONG AFTER BUYING THIS USED VEHICLE WITH ABOUT 95,000 MILES, I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN I GOT UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH. NOW AFTER DRIVING ONLY 20,000 MILES IT WON'T UPSHIFT AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND SHUDDERS AT TAKE OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T BILL CHRYSLER FOR THE $2100 TRANNY REPAIR. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND A REPAIR BILL IN THAT AMOUNT OR ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT MAY PUT ME UNDER. THIS IS VERY STRESSING. THIS IS THE NEWEST USED CAR I'VE OWNED AND I THOUGHT IT'D BE RELIABLE. I'LL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER AGAIN.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND COMING OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL DRIVER ONLY HAD LOW POWER AND REVERSE. CONSUMER FELT THAT THIS WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY PUT IN A CHRYSLER TRANSMISSION. CURRENTLY, AFTER 500 MILES, THERE'S A WINDING NOISE. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE VEHICLE MAY LOSE TOTAL POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. *AK
