Transmision doesn't like to up shift from first to second gear unles I let off the throtel. Also truck has roled when in park 5 times.I contacted dealor about this4 to8 times.

This is just a run down on repairs I made to my vehicle, but they are problems that should have been taken care of at the factory. First of all, the brake problem still exists. This is the only vehicle that I know of that has to have air in the front caliphers to work. I had to put bearings in both front and rear differential assemblies. The front one came from the factory without a bearing in the left side of the differential assembly.
When I drive 50 + miles, transmission won't up shift unless I take foot off gas, it has done this about 12 times since purchase in feb . Also truck has rolled ahead when in park 6 times since purchase in feb.
When trying to use headlights high beam, the head lights would go out all together. Bill luke dodge replaced a component and then it happened again. A vibration was noted at aroud 27 MPH when the truck had less that 5,000 miles. It took two trips to get them to recognize the problem an fix it by replacing the drive shaft under warrenty. You asked the question if the truck had been in a crash. It was a less than 10 MPH fender bender when a van pulled into the side of the truck. The paint is peeling off the roof and some on the side of the box.
Consumer having problems with warped rotors, consumer was advised there was a recall, but when he called manufacturer he was advised there was no recall on rotors.
Transmission is slipping. Dealer has advised that there was not a problem, but when conusmer attempted to accelerate around corner, vehicle would slip and disengage from transmission.
The transmission was overhauled by the dealer at 42000 the first time.
While driving vehicle slips in and out of gear, and shifts very hard. Dealer has been contacted.
Venicle is still under warranty but the warrantor (ge ) has denied the claim and refuses to honor it. We paid a lot of money for an expensive extended warranty for bumper to bumper coverage and they don't stand behind their product.no safety defect listed in the summary.
