Holy crap, I just ran into an article in Wikipedia from an uncited source that Chrysler did a recall/buyback of A604s?
I have three A604's sitting in my shed with blown clutch packs. One of which was in the dealership due to clutch pack problems at 59,000 miles before the warranty ran out and was never fixed. Chrysler is fixing these things now?!
The most common problems with A604 transmissions are poor shifting quality and sudden locks into second gear ("limp-home" mode) caused by the transmission computer detecting problems with sensor data. Nine design changes were made in an attempt to fix clutch failure, and four were directed to excessive shifting on hills.
After pressure from the Center for Auto Safety, Consumer Reports and others, Chrysler promised to waive the $100 deductible in the warranty, provide loaners, and buy back any cars with Ultradrives that could not be fixed. Chrysler ran an unprecedented campaign to contact all owners of cars with Ultradrives to find and fix problems.
