THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY EMITS A LOUD CLUNK (WHICH CAN BE FELT) WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED VARIOUS FIXES, INCLUDING REPLACING THE MEMORY MODULE, YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THEY NOW DENY THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND CLAIM THAT THEIR "EXTENSIVE" TRANSMISSION TESTS REPORT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HE COULD ADJUST THE TRANSMISSION SOME MORE. HE HAS SINCE DENIED MAKING THIS STATEMENT, AFTER CHRYSLERS HEAD OFFICE WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE EQUATION. AS WELL, CHRYSLERS REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE IF THERE WAS STILL ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, YET HAVE ALSO RETRACTED THAT STATEMENT AS WELL. *AK

OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2002. DUE TO THE LARGE QUANTITY OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN, THE OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE PHASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. HOWEVER, IF A VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE O-RINGS, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
