#1/transmission shifts roughly/excessive noise during shifts;//#2/clicking noise at low speeds on left front.
Once car is put in gear there is a delayed reaction before it will move.tt
Transmission disengages sporadically- most dangerous at intersections when car will proceed into intersection then drive train will fail and engine will race as driver panics and hits gas pedal while cross traffic is bearing down - transmission will usually re engage without any adjustment on drivers part. But this is not a shifting problem as transmission is in drive throughout journey- its just that sometimes it acts like its in neutral and leaves you straddled across a lane or rail line which you had stopped at to judge if the crossing was clear.
Consumer was driving approximately 35-40 mph, noticed noise in wheel area, transmission began shifting rapidly, upon changing the transmission fluid, consumer found crud, and other metal particles in the pan.

Vehicle experienced several problems with the transmission, it experienced harsh downshifts and upshifts, when coming to a stop, and there was a hard shift from second to first, dealer stated that the transmission needed to be rebuilt, consumer is requesting a full refund since this is a continuing problem and because the transmission was replaced once before under warranty.

On making a left turn, in traffic, from a dead stop at a traffic signal, the left front wheel tie rod end pulled apart, causing complete loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle plowed off the side of the road, narrowly missing other vehicles, and through sheer luck, without injury to anyone. The vehicle had to be towed to a repair facility.needless to say, this easily could have been a multiple fatality accident. This car has supposedly been lubricated at 4,000 mile intervals, at the original dealership where i purchased it. The most recent lube jobs were 04/22/1999 at 38,090 miles, 09/09/1999 at 42,615 miles, and 01/27/2000 at 46,718 miles. The falilure of the tie rod end occured 05/10/2000 at 49,748 miles. As of this date, chrysler corporation has failed to investigate this near fatal incident. I called their customer assistance center about may 12, 2000. I was given a case reference number of :717-1415 . I have heard nothing from chrysler since then. I will contact them again, as i consider this a very serious failure, that could easily have cost several lives. Your help in investigating the cause of this failure would be appreciated. I have the part that failed. I can email you a scanned image of the failed tie rod end. Thank you.
Driver's side door gets stuck open, and sometimes will not shut. This is due to engineered structure ofdoor, and panel.dealer has been contacted.consumer states door was repaired.

#1\driver's side door makes a loud creak, and then a "pop" when the door is opened. It started about 1 week ago, and has progressed to where i enter/exit through the passenger side door. I took it to a body shop, & they stated they had repaired 5 same type door problems within the last 6 months. I have my car at the dealership now. Problem #2= the passenger side door electric lock will not unlock the driver's door. It raises the lever, but not completely and will not unlock the driver's door. It has to be done manually. Problem#3= car stalls when letting off the gas at low speeds, especially when going around curves. It does this whether it is hot/cold, wet/dry or full/low gas tank. I have had fuel injectors cleaned & fuel filter changed. Problem seems to occur every 3 to 4 weeks, for a day or two and then disappears. I have to shift car to neutral, restart it and give it some gas. Then, when i wish to stop, i have to keep my foot on the gas pedal, and the brake, to keep a steady flow of gas to the motor or it dies.
