“I bought this brand new Chrysler 300 ltd and it only has 7,100 miles on it. The car has a severe shifting issue going up and down thru the gears. Vibration, hesitation and jerking. My wife will not drive the car because she feels it is dangerous to transport the grand kids in. I have taken it back t the dealer many times and they tell me its within factory standards and they all shift like that. Now that is difficult to believe. How can I get in contact with a real Chrysler factory tech rep to drive this car and evaluate ?”
