Recently the Jahn-Teller model was extended to treat (reactive) scattering processes. The present study is devoted to possible effects of a degenerate vibronic coupling (DVC) on resonances. The main conclusions are: (a) The DVC affects dramatically the state-to-state transition processes and as a result it shuffles resonances attached to given transitions and may cause existing resonances to be masked by other processes. (b) The DVC may affect the widths and the heights of resonances but change only slightly their position.
