Can you say "Powertrain Control Module"? a. k. a. "PCM"Overtake said:
So, tell us, when are you taking it in to be serviced? It's about that time.Overtake said:TODAY, which can seem odd, but isn't, had become normal once again (SMOOTH power during acceleration DID happen when da pedal was put to da metal .........what has happened numerous times in the past, since I've had this vehicle (late June, last year), was an experience where the engine cut out about 6 times or so. This happened when I shifted from reverse (usually when typically, and slowly, I was backing out of a parked position), then to the drive position......engine would just.......with MODERN technology, DIE!!! I had to, in the easiest effort, put the shifter onto neutral! I was able to start it, but when I put the shifter into drive, it'd either take about 5 to 10 secs to engage........................... OR not at all.I'd then have to put it back into "P", then put it BACK into Drive before the tranny'd engage, which might be up to 3 or 4 secs.........no B.S.!
WEIRD.............................? Yes, but again, no bullshit!
Patial piont is, outside of Chrysler, I've only owned the OTHER U.S. cars; Ford, AND GM products. They've ALL fucked me over with some inconsiquencial nagging probs!
ANYWAY, thank you VERY much for the PCM suggestion, & it probably IS that, but today................it's oddly back to DC normalcy! I can floor today, and not experience last night's.....................BLAH!
p.s. A few times since ownership, once down, I haven't been able to close the driver's side BACK window for an hour or so...................AND then, just as suddenly, I could. ALSO, one of the 300C's appreciated conveniences, is the driver's side AUTO up window, BUT, and beleive it or not, MY 300C couldn't offer it for about 3 days!
Now THIS has no berring on what MANY humans go through around the planet..................................BUT, when paying for, & expecting quality, I've always felt I've had the right to complain!
UH OH!!
There is a TSB for the Reverse problem.. I cannot find the TSB number at the moment, Dealerconnect is down... I got the flash done because i was having a problem with surging when the car was cold, but it also talks about the reverse to drive problem you are (were) having. This might help other things also. As soon as Dealerconnect works again, i will have the TSB number.Overtake said:TODAY, which can seem odd, but isn't, had become normal once again (SMOOTH power during acceleration DID happen when da pedal was put to da metal .........what has happened numerous times in the past, since I've had this vehicle (late June, last year), was an experience where the engine cut out about 6 times or so.
