Consumer Description

WOW ANOTHER TRIP TO THE TRANSMISSION PLACE.... THIS IS BEGINNING TO GET RIDICULOUS. WE ARE AT THE TRANSMISSION PLACE AGAIN. THE HESITATION WHILE IN MOTION TO GET INTO TRAFFIC OR WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WE ARE LITERALLY SHOVING OUR FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD WHILE THE TRUCK IS TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WANTS TO SHIFT1-2. WE LHAD TO LIMP HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP AND TAKE IT BACK TO OUR TRANSMISSION PLACE WE HAD JUST REBUILT IT 8 MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME REASON WE TOOK IT TO HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE KNOW FOR A FACT WHAT PARTS WERE USED TO REBUILD THE TRANNY, AND WE SHOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY OH WHEN YOU HAVE CHANGED OUT YOUR BATTERIES OR SUCH THE ELECTRICAL COULD ALSO MESS WITH THE GOVERNOR OR THE SOLENOID. WELL LET'S JUST SAY WE HAVE NOT CHANGED BATTERIES NOR HAVE WE TOWED ANYTHING IN THE LAST 16 MONTHS. DODGE NEEDS TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING VERY COSTLY AS WELL AS AN ENDANGERMENT WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK BEGINS TO BUCK AND WANTING TO SHIFT THE GEARS AT THE WRONG TIME AND US LOSE CONTROL WHILE STOPPED OR WHILE DRIVING IT DECADES TO SHIFT FINALLY. WE CANNOT AFFORD FOR OUR CHILDREN TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BECOME AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANNY. *TR
