| While driving, vehicle came to a complete stop, consumer restarted the engine and proceeded to put the car in drive, however it only drifted backwards, a mechanic stated that chrysler uses plastic sensors to hold on the transmission case, these sensors became cracked due to poor quality material, which resulted in a transmission leak, the mechanic had to replace them with the same plastic sensors, consumer is concerned that this will occur again. *slc *dt | |||
