MY BROTHER AND I BOUGHT THE SAME CAR MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. WE BOTH HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM OF WHEN WE COME TO A QUICK STOP AND OR SLOWDOWN WE NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. IF WE DECELERATE QUICKLY OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL AND ("I DO MEAN SLIGHTLY") THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND IF WE ARE MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED TURN WE FIND OURSELVES OUT OF GEAR TO PULL THE CAR ACOSS THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD SOME NEAR HEAD ON COLLISIONS WITH THE CAR WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO MAKE A TURN. COINCIDENTALLY MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILAGE THAT I HAVE ON HIS CAR. ABOUT 83000. THE PROBLEM I SEE IS THAT THIS CAR IS THE TEMPLATE FOR THE CHRYSLER SEBRING AS WELL AS THE MITSUBISHI GALANT. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH LEAKY TRANSMISSIONS AND THIS WILL CAUSE THE COMPONENT TO FAIL. MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO LEAK AT AROUND 82000 MILES AND I FIND THAT THAT IS A DEFECT THAT DODGE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO. THE OTHER DEFECT OF MY CAR IS A CRACKING CV BOOT THAT CAUSES THE CV JOINT TO FAIL AFTER FLUIDS LEAK FROM THE JOINT CAUSING FRICTION TO TEMPER THE PARTS TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. MY VEHICLES RIGHT FRONT TIRE FELL OFF ON I77 IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA. DODGE CLAINED AT THE TIME NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, I JUST FOUND OUT YOU HAD DISCOVERED THE DEFECT. BRAVO. YOU HELPED ME SAVE $150 PER PERIOD IN AUTO INSURANCE BECAUSE I COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY TIRE FELL OFF AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT THAT ALMOST KILLED ME. I LOVE YOU GUYS! CHRYSLER HAS SENT AN APPOLOGY AND I NEED TO KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AS WELL. AGAIN MY BROTHER (JEFF ROSS) AND I ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMWITH DIFFERENT DRIVING HABITS. PLEASE RESPOND. ([email protected]) 919-272-1400 THANK YOU! ROB BURDINE

WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED UP AND PLACED INTO DRIVE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. THEN VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE HIGHER THAN 20 MPH. THIS IS DUE TO THE ROLLERS BEING BURNED OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION. CONSUMER WAS TOLD THIS BY AN MECHANIC. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

BRAKES CONTINUE TO MAKE NOISE; FRONT BRAKES REPLACED -- STILL NOISE; WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL -- HAD TO WAIT FOR IT TO RE-ENGAGE IN GEAR. THE GLOVE BOX JUST FELL OUT -- THE HINGE PIN WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND DISINTIGRATED. THE FRONT BUMPER SECTION HAS SEPARATED AND IS FALLING OFF -- THIS IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE BRAKES ARE THE REAL SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION -- THEY DO NOT FEEL TRUSTWORTHY AND THE NOISE THEY MAKE WHEN YOU PUT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS CONTINUED FOR OVER TWO YEARS. THE DEALER IS TOTALLY DISINTERESTED!!!!
