Consumer Description

AROUND THE FIRST OF LAST MONTH (OCT)98 I NOTICED MY AUTO TRANNY WAS ACTING FUNNY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT SHIFTS VERY LATE. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE IT SHIFT. IN TRAFIC THIS REALLY IS A PROBLEM. PEOPLE WONDER WHY I SLOW DOWN AND I'M AFRAID I WILL GET HIT FROM THE REAR. I TALKED TO DODGE ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION. IF THEY DON'T THIS IS REALLY GOING TO UPSET ME. A 30,000 DOLLAR TRUCK AND ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I FEEL STRONGLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE IF DODGE DOES NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS
