Consumer Description

WHEN THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF FROM A DEAD STOP THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND RIGHT AFTER THAT THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE RUNS AT A HIGH RPM UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. THE PROBLEM THEN CORRECTS ITSELF TEMPORARILY. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK SERVICED AT FREDERICK DODGE 4 TIMES. FIRST IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS BEING LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID(CLAIMED IT WAS NOT TOPPED OFF AT DELIVERY) AND IT WAS CAUSING REAR SENSOR ON TRANS TO SHUT DOWN TRANSMISSION. SECOND TIME BROUGHT IN FOR SAME PROBLEM, TOLD THAT REAR SENSOR IS BAD, THAT WAS REPLACED, THIRD TIME, SAME PROBLEM, TOLD THAT SOFTWARE FOR TCM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. FOURTH TIME, TCM AND TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED. TRUCK IS STILL IN SHOP. TOTALLY FED UP. TRUCK HAS LESS 9500 MILES ON IT. *TS *JB ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS***763038
