While driving on route 206 in new jersey (speed limit 50), I had slowed for a turning vechile. When I went to accelerate, the car would not go more than 30 miles per hour. I traveled on the shoulder of the road until I got it to a service station. The mechanic told me the overdrive was shot. The car had just traveled 80 miles on the parkway and interstate without any sign of trouble. I called chrsyler. Although my warantee had expired, due to the age of my car they offered to supply the parts and I paid the labor for repair. I paid roxbury chrsyler $1020 in labor for the repair. Three days later while on interstate 80, the same thing happened! I don't know how I managed to get off the road without injury. I took the car back, they said it was an unknown code. Chrsyler told the mechanic to reset and return the car. Even the mechanic was hesitant to give me the car. He drove it for two days, nothing happened. Previous to this my husband and I had decided to sell the car to reduce our debt. How can I sell this car to anyone like this. Chrysler's mike sarachman claims he will not allow the 12m/12,000k warantee they are giving me to be transferred to a new owner. I need to sell my car and I can't. I am afraid to drive this vehicle. Please offer some advice on how I can proceed. Mr. Sarachman claims I cannot speak with anyone above him at Chrysler corp. He refused to give me any other name or number to call.
Design of the transmission does not contain shift interlock system, which has resulted in child moving gear and vehicle rolling.
Transmission can be put into gear without depressing brake pedal.
