The vehicle is a marked police vehicle that was left running at the scene of an investigation. Dashboard camera video shows that approximately 14 minutes after it was parked the transmission slipped into reverse and drove off, down an embankment and into a tree. An investigation was conducted by fca and in a letter by mr. Kon of special investigations it was noted that the "inspection revealed that there was no evidence of a malfunction. . . . ". This was written despite the fact the situation was replicated by the investigator in the presence of one of our city mechanics. Furthermore, mr. Kon quoted the owners manual and stated ". . . You should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running" which is not at all practical for a police vehicle.

Samie issue reported on 8/24/16 for transmission jerks and slips as it runs through gears when car is cold. Once warm, it doesn't do it at all. The jerks or slips are not slight either, they are hard and doesn't matter how much acceleration there is or isn't. . . The gear changes are very noticeable and jerky! doesn't matter if you are driving straight, taking a turn. . . Anytime you accelerate it shifts very hard! I bought it new on 3/18/16 although it is a 2015 sxt Charger. . . Had less than 50 miles on it but is currently sitting around 7000 miles. It has done it since I bought it from the dealer. Still does it to this day. Even after running for a few minutes via car starter.
The 8 speed transmission jerks and slips during the 1-2, 2-3 and sometimes in the 3-4 shift. This occurs until the car has warmed up. After warming up it shift as it should. This occurs every time the car is cold and being driven. The dealership has tried to correct this matter and has failed.
While driving home from work, my transmission started to slip/skip and started to shift very roughly from that point. After a few visits to my dealer and after they kept my car for a week, it was then determined that the valve body inside the transmission needed replaced, and Chrysler will not give rental cars out due to the vehicle still being driveable. (wtf?) the part needed to fix the transmission is on backorder and Chrysler currently does not know when they will have it in because it has to come from a vendor, so now I'm stuck with a $40000 paper weight in my driveway until Chrysler gets off their sorry butts to get this problem resolved. Due to this part being on backorder, this is obviously a common problem that I feel Chrysler should make a recall.
