Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FELT A JOLT AND LOSS OF POWER. THE SPEEDOMETER THEN DIALED ALL THE WAY UP AND THEN BACK TO ZERO. PULLED OFF TO CHECK IT OUT, AS I SLOWED DOWN ON THE OFFRAMP HEARD A CRUNCHING SOUND AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP! I COULDN'T EVEN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT OFF THE OFFRAMP. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE THEY PUT IN A USED, NOT NEW OR REBUILT BUT A USED TRANSMISSIONS WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT FOR $1,800. THE CAR HAD 81,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF FAILURE AND IS BARELY SIX YEARS OLD! I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER BEFORE 75,000 MILES. BY FAR THE TRANSMISSION IS THE MOST UNACCEPTABLE COMPONENT FAILURE. AT ONLY 81,000 MILES AND SIX YEARS OLD DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS! *TR
