Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle has transmission issues and began at 641 miles after purchasing brand new. transmission hesitation, vehicle does not seem to know how to shift properly and hesitated when accelerating or pulling in to traffic. has caused several near misses when trying to pull in to traffic, pass on the interstate or safely get out of someone's way. vehicle has had numerous parts replaced not relation directly to this issue. vehicle has accelerated on its own when approaching a stop light and has tried to lurch forward without my foot on from the accelerator and firmly applied to the brake. vehicle has been in for this issue on numerous occasions and manufacturer cannot locate issue. airbag indicator light is supposed to come on to indicate airbag system is disabled when there is not enough weight in the passenger chair. it not only does this, it comes on and stays on with or without passengers in the chair. it triggers the drivers instrument panel light to come and chime repeatedly. this has been in for repair 4 times now and cannot seem to be rectified. i expect more than this from a brand new vehicle and feel i have not been treated fairly by chrysler when trying to address this issue. *jb
