    Chrysler Recalls 26k 200 Models For Nine-Speed Transmission Woes

      More bad news for the Chrysler nine-speed transmission


    Chrysler can't seem to catch a break with their nine-speed automatic. Case in point is a recall for around 26,000 Chrysler 200 models equipped with 3.6L V6 and nine-speed because the transmission will not go into park. According to a statement, the problem is due to inconsistent assembly procedures at a supplier's plant. At the time of this writing, five owners have experienced this problem.

    Dealers will inspect the transmission and replace if necessary. In the meantime, Chrysler is asking owners to put on the parking brake to prevent their vehicle from rolling back.

    Statement: Park Engagement

    February 26, 2015, Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a recall of certain model-year 2015 cars to resolve manufacturing issues that may prevent the vehicles from shifting into park.

    Inconsistent assembly procedures at a supplier's plant have been linked to five reports involving customers who could not shift their vehicles into park. Without park, a vehicle may be subject to inadvertent movement.

    FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents.

    The campaign is limited to the Chrysler 200 equipped with a V-6 engine. There are an estimated 22,107 in the U.S.; 3,600 in Canada and 213 in Mexico.

    Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. FCA US dealers will inspect and, if required, replace transmissions at no charge. In the interim, customers who own models with V-6 engines are advised to activate the vehicle's parking brake before shutting off its engine, because the shifter may incorrectly indicate park is engaged.

    Customers with additional concerns may call 1-800-853-1403.

    Sad that this is what it has come too. Chrysler had such potential and yet Fiat seems to continue their trend of building low quality auto's and are now pushing it out across their full line of auto divisions.

     

    Sad!

    I don't think FIAT can do much to worsen Chrysler's already bad transmission reputation.

    We had exactly the same issue with the same ZF 9-speed on the TLX V6 models, however nothing more than a quick stop sale and Acura sent special engineers to every dealer nationwide to inspect and repair any of them. Something bolt or bracket related that they could check and fix quickly.

     

    I would venture to say it's the same thing here, just found out later. Should be an easy fix.

    • I'm sure PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP isn't looking to go under with/for them. I couldn't imagine any accounting/auditing firm would be willing to put their life at stake over allowing fraud to happen under their oversight, but there's always a chance. I should clarify. I'm not trying to say they're clean of any wrongdoing. I'm just saying I couldn't imagine a company committing fraud that's comparable to Enron ever again, because of the measures that were put in place BECAUSE of Encon.  I guess with David never saying anything positive about Tesla, it would be advantageous for him to continue to trash them while he's trying to short a stock.  Buuuuut, it would be really smart of him to bet against the company in which he supposedly believes will fail. 
    • Interesting and thoughtful on streets and fire departments...  
    • A much shorter Musk/Tesla video, gives you some flavor of the longer video.
    • So I have to disclose the back ally sexual encounter with a Toyota employee that was the issue behind all of my anti Ford posts here? Shocking that we actually have enforced ethics agreements, the rest of the country seems adept at ignoring them. They may not go bankrupt right away, they do things like Energy Storage and the like that generates cash. And there is a federal pipeline of cash into Tesla.
    • Interesting, like this take... As far as Tesla goes, Thunderfoot has great YouTube videos.  I have posted this one before, but he has a ton. All of the Musk/Tesla ethics issues are wayyy out in the open, you pretty much have to be willingly blind to ignore them.   I may have posted this a long time ago, but it really shows how some folks go way out of their way to avoid reality. This is a response to the reality denying Musk/Tesla fanbois. I consider CCAP 41 to be very rational and this is not a direct response to him.
