“A few different times I've been driving along typically as the automatic car shifts foo a higher speed the car sounds like it is accelerating and is stuck at 3000 rpms. I'm concerned because even when I touch the gas pedal it doesn't seem to change the acceleration.”

NHTSA complaint #10721110, filed 2015-05, 8,800 miles

“I have a 2014 300 about a week ago I was driving on the highway going about 60, as I speed up my car kicks to first gear. My car slowed all the way down almost got hit by other cars it didn't want to get off of first gear. Ever since then it does it every other day and now my gear selector gets hard when I want to change it to a gear. Like it's stuck. Am kind of scared to take a high way now, what if it does it again and I don't get so lucky and I get ram from the back for the car stalling.”

“Car was in motion when the gear shifted from drive to stop causing the car to come to an abrupt stop. The wiper blades came on by themselves, the gear shift indicators began blinking off and on, the transmission monitor began stating that do not turn the car off, then began flashing: proceed to destination , turn car off to turn to start car, check engine light began flashing and the power steering indicator began flashing on .after about twenty minutes I was able to get the shift indicator to shift into gear so that I could get the car out of the street. …”

“45000 miles the dashboard cluster all of dash goes total out no speed no tachometer, no gas, all temp gauges and traction control go out. The radio and the rest of the console go black as well. Car will not turn on also you can not use alarm system to enter vehicle. Dome light does come on. Tried to jump start doesnt effect car as its not the battery its some other computer issue. As tow truck hauled car the car came back to life from the jolt of road bumps. Dealership states can't find anything wrong with car. Viewed several cars with similar symptoms. I have video of so far 2 occurrences . …”
