While backing into my driveway garage I heard a loud bang and my car's transmission lost its linkage to the drive shaft. The car rolled forward regardless of shifting the car in park, reverse, neutral, drive, etc. I had to stop the car with my brakes and then park the car with my emergency brake enabled to stop the car from rolling on its own. A driver could easily be killed by not reacting right to the car when it loses its driving shaft. The driver yoke looks like it could be part of the problem. The car is currently at the transmission repair shop for repair and a safety investigation.

Both dealerships claim they have not heard of this problem before I appeared. I saw in online forums that other owners have been dealing with this issue since at least 2011, so it appears the manufacturer is ducking their responsibility.

LEFT CYLINDER HEAD WAS REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AT 144,XXX OCT 18 2018. CYLINDER HEAD WAS REPLACED AGAIN UNDER THE SAME WARRANTY AT 160XXX SEPTEMBER 2020. AFTER REPAIR DEALER STATED THAT THE RIGHT HEAD HAD A LEAK AND NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. CHRYSLER AUTHORIZES 9 HOURS OF SERVICE LABOR FOR DIAGNOSIS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY X56 . THE WARRANTY ALSO AUTHORIZES REPLACEMENT OF THE RIGHT HEAD COVER AND GASKET IF REQUIRED. WHEN I BROUGHT UP THIS FINE PRINT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING ELSE. IT TOOK CALLING FOR OVER A MONTH STRAIGHT FOR THEM TO FINALLY AUTHORIZE THE WARRANTY WORK BASED ON THE UPDATED 2014 BULLETIN THAT ADDED THE RIGHT SIDE TO THE WARRANTY.I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET 2000$ TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THEY TOLD ME IT WASNT. I AGREED TO PAY AND THEY REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR IN. I ASKED THEM TO PUT IT IN WRITING THAT THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT WELCOME THERE. I AM A DISABLED ARMY VETERAN AND I USE DRIVING AS MY THERAPY. MY CAR HAS BEEN NON OP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. NOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS VERIFIED EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID THE WHOLE TIME IT'S TOO LATE BECAUSE NOW THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND TOWN WONT TOUCH THE CAR BASED ON THE BELIEF CHRYSLER WONT COVER IT. CHRYSLER SAID TO ME TONS OF TIMES THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT TOOK THEM FINDING THE UPDATED BULLETIN. I DONT BLAME THE DEALERSHIPS I BLAME CHRYSLER. HOW CAN YOU REPLACE ONE HEAD AT 144K AND EXPECT THE OLD HEAD TO WORK WELL WITH IT. THE LEFT HEAD IS A WAY TO GET PEOPLE IN THE SHOP FOR A FREE LEFT SIDE HEAD THAT CAUSES MORE DAMAGE. IT'S LIKE PUTTING AN OLD TIRE WITH A NEW ONE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ASKING FOR REPLACEMENT OF BOTH HEADS. CHRYSLER CLAIMED IT DOESN'T CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO FAIL AND IT DOES LIKE MINE DID ON THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING

FOUND FUSE THAT RUNS SIDE MIRRORS AND POWER STEERING TO BE GOOD BUT IS SHOWING THE FUSE BOX TO BE GROUNDING OUT WHEN FUSE IS REMOVED. I HAVE HEARD OF ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS ON THIS CAR. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND ENGINE NOT TURNED ON. IF I LEAVE WINDOWS OPEN, WEATHER DAMAGE IS DONE. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. AFRAID IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE GROUNDING OUT. THERE ARE NO RECALLS REFERRING TO THIS ISSUE. WHY AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT GETTING THIS RESOLVED WHEN MECHANICS CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM?
