I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED IN MARCH 2011. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION HAS JERKED REALLY VIOLENTLY IN BETWEEN GEARS (FIRST TO SECOND AND SECOND TO THIRD), MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING SLOW. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING HIT THE CAR. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN MY 200 TO THE WARRANTY SERVICE CENTER HERE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE SYMPTOMS ONLY OCCUR AFTER THE 200 HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 10 MILES AND STOPPED FOR A FEW HOURS THEN DRIVEN AGAIN. I HAVE THE 2.4L ENGINE.…

I WAS DRIVING AS USUAL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND 40 MPH WHEN CAR RPM STARTED ACCELERATING PAST 4 RPM WHEN I WAS AT 1RPM. I HIT THE BRAKES WHICH DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK AND PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I STARTED CAR AGAIN AND DROVE 1 MILE TOWARDS HOME. LUCKILY, I DIDN'T TRAVEL FAR. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN IT WAS ACCELERATING WHILE IN PARK. I HAD 2 CHILDREN AND AN INFANT IN THE CAR. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THIS CAR AGAIN! NORMALLY TRAFFIC IS HEAVY, BUT I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE
