Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have the automatic transmission and I notice that my matrix will roll backwards if I have a 2009 Chrysler town & country touring with 1000 miles on it. If I am stopped on an incline, while in a forward gear (e.g. Drive). If I take my foot off the brake, the car will roll backwards - like a car with a manual transmission would. Is this normal behavior? I took it to a Chrysler dealership and they stated that it was.”
