I purchased this vehicle new with a 4 spd automatic transmission. The transmission has been replaced 6 times, with no cost to me except the time i didnt have my vehicle. I can not believe there hasn't been a recall on this component.
About every 10,000 mi. Transmission needs to be worked on. Of course there is always an excuse from the dodge mechanics and i end up paying for it. I,m sure the total is around 5,000.00. These problems had also happen to the previous owners because all the receipts have been forwarded to each owner, me being the last.
In a design attempt to increase gas mileage the transmission was built to "coasts or freewheels" downhill at idle rpm of approx 1000 and zero engine compression braking.the result is excessive acceleration downhill, tailgating and/or excessive brake componet wear.
Transmission has failed causing the vehicle to lunge forward whileslowing down to stop position.
The vehicle will drop fromoverdrive to 2nd gear at highway speeds. Dealer has replaced the transmission two times prior to this incident.
Original transmission had multiple problems before failing at 127,000 miles. Reman. Transmission installed went only 12,375 miles when it failed. Dealer would not replace. Third transmission installed at another dealer went about 65,000 miles and failed also. Many other problems with transaxle controllers, speed sensors. Dealers can't seem to repair without replacing complete transmission.
How many of these transmissions have to fail before d-c owns up to poor engineering/design??
