I had just picked up my new vehicle from the dealer and had only 250 miles on it. I was simply driving down the road when the transmission seemed to shift into neutral and then back into gear. I quickly pulled over but everything seemed okay. I continued on and quickly discovered the transimission was not shifting out of low gear. I called the 800 number for chrysler road service only to be told that there were no contracted service providers in the area where I was.
