“Was driving my 2013 Chrysler 200 home last night doing 55mph all the sudden my car jumped rpms and started accelerating really quick.

“I was driving and all of a sudden the car started making a loud whining noise and seemed to be downshifting and lurching by itself. It was not shifting properly and it seemed to be doing stuff by itself. I did not have control over what it was doing. I had to pull off the highway and called triple a and the car had to be towed. It was repaired and now 2 weeks later it again downshifted by itself out of the blue and started whining again. It has not been driven since.”

“Heat only comes out on the driver side of the vehicle. It comes out really cold in the passages. The heater core was replaced last year be the dealer and it's doing it again. I was sitting a light and when it turned green I tried to go than it wouldn't go than it jumped forward and it went. I got a little down the road than it slowed down and it was almost like driving in neutral wouldn't pick up speed at all. It stopped moving again than it wouldn't go at all the cops had to help me push it to the side of the road.”
