Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD A CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH STALLING, TRANSMISSION, AND BRAKING WITH MY NEW VEHICLE! THE DEALER DID THE RECALLS THE REPROGRAMMING FOR ALL COMPONTENTS AND EVEN REPLACED A KINKED FUEL LINE AND THEY DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT THEY REPLACED IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T AVAILABLE FROM DODGE SO THEY SAID THEY PULLED IT OFF ONE ON THE LOT! THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CHUGS, CHATTERS, SHUDDERS,EVERYTHING THAT A TRANSMISSION IS NOT SUSPOSTO DO! SO THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER,I GOT IT BACK AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SAME PROBLEMS STARTED AGAIN JUST NOT AS BAD, EACH TIME I DRIVE IT IT GETS WORST JUST NOT AS FREQUENT,NOW WITH THE BRAKES, THE ESP/BAS LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN ITS ON THE BRAKES ARE REAL TOUCHY LIKE SUDDEN STOPPING ,AND LUNGING YOU FORWARD, THE DEALER CUT THE ROTORS FOR A PULSATION BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON! I GUESS IF THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SAY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THEN NOTHING IS, A COMPUTER IS ONLY AS SMART AS WHO PROGRAMMED IT! THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS, ITS BEEN IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF TEN DAYS SO FAR MAINLY THE SAME THREE COMPONENTS WELL I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS STILL SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS A LOUD TICK, AND A HISSING SOUND ALONG WITH THE SAME CONCERNS AS BEFORE. *TR
