The transmission is not shifting properly. Went to my mechanic after the check engine light came on. Electronic testing indicated two problems: (1) tune up was needed; (2) sensors in transmission indicated problem. When I bought the truck at anderson dodge in bloomfield hills, michigan, I was not informed of the 7-year/70,000 mile warranty on the power train. I found this out only after contacting the chrysler (dodge) web site that I had the 7/70,000 warranty. This was to late as I had already taken the truck to multistate transmission in waterford, michigan (on m-59)((huron street)). The dealership only informed me that I had a 3 year/36 month or 36,000 mile warranty (bumper to bumper) warranty on the vehicle, whichever came first. Much to my surprise, when trying to contact chrysler (dodge) on the computer, did I find out that I actually had the 7/70000 warranty. It was to late to take it to a dealership as multistate transmission on m-59 (huron street) in waterford, michigan already had the truck and dropped the trans for repairs. Results; rebuild the trans due to torque converter and sensors. Problem was that there was a seal inside the transmission that was defective according to multistate. I have also had conversations via the internet with chris, sr. Customer service representative and he was not very helpful. He even asked for my phone number(s) where I could be contacted and he has not contacted me as of this writing. I continue to try to contact him but he fails to return an answer for the messages that I have sent him. I have the copies of all conversations via the internet and can send to you if so needed. I even had a union secretary friend of mine who stated that the customer service reps were members of the union, which she is a secretary to see if she could help. She informed me that if I had taken the truck to a chrysler (dodge) dealership, that they would have possibly paid for half of the repairs.

Transmission problems started in sept. Of 2002 - upshift and downshift w/o reason, check engine light comes on - o/d light comes on, trans downshifts and stays there - can't take it off unless you pull to side of road and actually shut off ignition and recycle it. Complete overhaul of trans in late dec. 2002 / jan. 2003. End of jan. 2003 - more of the same. Jul 2003, both front universals went out while vacationing in canada. Dealer most accomodating in smiths falls, ontario - but still cost $300.00 plus. Trans. Problems again (nov. 2003) dealer has it for 3 days so far and have no answers....what to do???
