Vehicle is on third catalytic converter since purchase, makes a loud clanking sound. Also, does not shift properly.
Rear end has been replaced two times each time at a different dealership. Each time noise reappeared at the same speed, but this time their is also a grind when at a stop and making a right or left turn. A additive has been added to rear end but has not stop grinding. Dealership is telling me they contacted chrysler and they said that they were not going to do anything else until they could find a solution. They told wison dodge this the first time I had rear end replaced and that was over a year ago. Only difference now they will not do anything and my truck has 35,000 miles on it. It not that I have not tried to get dodge to do something, I have to try to get another dealership to replace rearend. This truck has been in shop a total of about 18 days and that does not include time I have spent at dealership wait to have truck checked for problem. This is not the only problem that I have had with this truck, front suspenison problems for about 8 months, but blackwell dodge is still working on problem. Any help will be gladly appreciated.
While traveling intermittently overdrive indicator light would flash on and stay on without consumer turning button on. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further information.

Truck would not shift into 3rd gear, this did not occur all time. The check engine light came on several times. Was told to ignore the light and should only be concerned if the light was flashing. They ajusted the throttle pressure cable. It seemed to take care of the problem for approx 1 week. Then the problems started again. This time it still would not shift properly and now it was bogging out. I was attempting to pull out into traffic and as I stepped on the gas the truck just bogged out. It would not shift into the proper gears. I drove back to the dealer, the check the truck and said the something was wrong with the trani, would not let me drive vehicle, given rental.
