TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER 300M. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 20 MPH, THE DRIVER SEAT INDEPENDENTLY RECLINED BACKWARD INTO THE REAR SEAT. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE DRIVER SEAT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE PLASTIC ACTUATOR THAT CONTROLLED THE SEAT HAD COMPLETELY FRACTURED. THE BOLTS AND STRUCTURE OF THE SEAT WERE STILL IN PLACE HOWEVER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLACE JUST THE PART THAT HAD FRACTURED BUT WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DRIVERS SEAT ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVED IN THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 50-60 MPH I HAD NOTICED THE RPM TO BE JUST OVER 4000. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND IT REMAINED AT JUST OVER 4000 RPM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE CODES ARE P0700, P1776. CAR JUST RANDOMLY THROWS ITSELF INTO SECOND GEAR OR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND STAYS LOCKED THERE. FOR NOW, ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, YOU CAN DRIVE WITH NORMAL GEARS. HOWEVER, ONCE YOU HIT 50-60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND STAYS LOCKED IN SECOND GEAR. ALL SIGNS POINT TO SOLENOID PACK ASSEMBLY. *TR
