Had just gotten car back from dealers garage for air conditioning repair. Had driven less than about 10 miles slow city driving 35mph max. When suddenly without warning of any kind the transmission went to full throttle instantaneously. Hit brakes, tried to change gears, steer out of traffic, almost impossible to control. Finally turned off the key to the engine. Turned on twice to see if any improvement. None. When mechanic arrived within about an half hour and turned on engine no problem except the car would not go in reverse. Computer diagnosis showed build up of pressure in transmission code of some kind and the mechanic advised the transmission overdrive hub had broken. Transmission needed rebuilt or replaced. Had not thought to request dealer hold old parts but just called to request them to hold .

The contact owns a 2003 Chrysler 300m. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact noticed that the transmission would not shift into third gear.

The dealer was aware of the issue and made two attempts to remedy the failure by replacing the transmission valve. The contact informed the manufacturer who took a complaint. The vehicle was at the local dealership awaiting repairs. The current mileage was 89,549 and the failure mileage was 62,036. Updated 03/22/lj.

Check engine light came on after turned right out of parking garage. Pulled on I-71 s and tried to accelerate to merge. Transmission locked in low gear and could not accelerate past 50 mph (current speed limit was 65). Rpms were past 4000 and other car horns were blaring because car would not shift and was going incredibly slow. Tried to go to the manual shifter and still would not shift. Pulled over, turned off car. Turned car back on and car was fine. Car did it three times on the way home. Had previously taken to the dealership and spent $600 replacing transmission module. After researching the internet, there have been many people experiencing this problem in this car. Dealership appears to refuse to fix the problem. Extremely frustrated and unhappy.

: the contact stated while driving 25 mph and approaching a stop sign, the brake was applied however; the vehicle did not stop. The vehicle continued through the intersection and crashed into a truck causing damage to both vehicles. The contact sustained minor injuries and a police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who found no problem. Also, intermittently when the gear was shifted into reverse the vehicle continued to go forward. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, who could not duplicate the problem. Further, while driving various speeds, if hands were removed from the steering wheel, the vehicle pulled to the right. The dealer could not identify the problem.

In reverse vehicle jerked back without warning. This caused a collision. Vehicle was towed to dealership, who did not resolve the problem.
