While driving the vehicle at 30 mph, I got a check engine light. The vehicle transmission would not shift to the next higher gear during acceleration. Note: this was also evident by an increase of engine rpm's on the tachometer. This vehicle was purchased new by myself in 2001. It has only 17,508 miles on it!. Checking of the engine fault light revealed a p0601 trouble codei. This is an internal fault in the powertrain control module (pcm). I have seen similar problems noted by other 2001 Chrysler 300 m owners, upon conducting a search on the computer. Since this appears to be a common problem for this vehicle, I would like to know why there have not been any recalls!.

Was traveling in third gear when the transmission downshifted to second gear independently. Transmission locks in 2nd gear (limp mode) when slowing or stopping vehicle. Once you turn the car off and back on again, you can drive with normal gears. However, once you hit 50-60 mph, the transmission automatically goes into limp mode and stays locked in second gear. Check engine light came on and it now reads the codes p1776.

My speedometer cluster and heater a/c air conditioner climate temperature control lights quit working. I feel this is a hazard to driving, when you can not see how fast you going at night. I called Chrysler headquarters and they said there is nothing they can do. I am not the only car like this, there is other cars around the same year with the same problem. I think this should be checked into.
