Chrysler 200 Transmission Problems

There have been a number of complaints about the Chrysler 200 transmission. (If you want to see what it is supposed to do, check the manufacturer’s youtube video).  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtxb7IzdeyI).   Designed to save gas and meet certain government standards, the vehicle shows erratic performance.  Our office is co-counsel on a national class action and here are some typical complaints about the vehicle.

I drove a Chrysler 200s with 9 speed transmission and its responsiveness was a nightmare. First at highway speed it was very (very) hard to accelerate when you wanted to change line and make pass. It took ridiculous long time to downshift and found the necessary power. On the other hand, it seemed also confused to shift in stop and go traffic. At one time the car just won’t move until I floored the gas pedal since it really couldn’t.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7EMGnjEhmE

Acura 9 Speed Transmission Problems

Lemon law claims ladyThere are multiple reports of problems with the 9 speed transmission on the Acura MDX.  Here are typical complaints,

“I had a 2016 Acura MDX with this transmission…the 4 to 5 gear he talks about is true… it felt like losing power for a second when i tried to accelerate. i REALLY HATE this transmission and the way it feels. I sold the car after 4 months of ownership. Thats how much I hated this transmission.

This doesn´t explain all the issues this transmission is having with absolute shite gear shifts… The Acura MDX that uses this trans is a big example, terrible transmission software makes it feel worse than the 6 speed it replaces.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7EMGnjEhmE
