I had my car less than a year when the transmission started stalling for no reason at all. i could be anywhere and at about 40-50 miles/hour the car would shake a little and not come out of first gear.i have taken this car all over town and get a different repsonse from everyone i talk to. of course, the dealership told me they couldnt do anything for me. i will never ever buy another dodge as long as i live.*ak
Car began with not accelerating. it would feel as though it was sticking. i would be driving and between it changing from 2nd to 3rd gear (40-50mph), it would jerk or feel like it was popping into the third gear. i bought the car at 19,000 miles, took it to the dealership at 30,000 miles and they said there were no fault codes, (warranty ended at 36,000 miles) transmission ok. now at 50,000 miles, my car has electrical and internal transmission problems. it will cost me anywhere from $1700-$2100. i have not had the car a full year. called the manufacturer, nothing they can do for me, called the dealership where car was purchased, nothing they can do for me.*ak
When you first start the car it would not move when you put it in any gear, then when it did finally move you may start moving and then it was like the transmission was shifted into neutral. took the car in to the dealer, and had it checked, said it was a quart low on fluid, car was sent back home with me, a few days later did the same thing, took it back and the dealer where the transmission was replaced, new transmission would not shift out of low gear, had dealer tow it in, stated to me the the transmission controler needed reprogramming, it was reprogrammed and sent back out on the road, about 100 miles later it was a repeat, would not shift out of low gear, had the vehilce towed in again, dealer replaced transmission and controller, picked the car up from the dealer, i found a bracket that they had left loose that was within a fraction of coming in contact with the rack and pinion steering, returned to dealer to have bracket reattached. i have filed lemon law on this car. *ak
