1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 07/26/2002

Not long after buying this used vehicle with about 95,000 miles, I noticed a shudder when I got up to about 40 mph. Now after driving only 20,000 miles it won't upshift after being driven for about 30 minutes and shudders at take off. The dealership won't bill Chrysler for the $2100 tranny repair. I can't afford to be without a vehicle, and a repair bill in that amount or another car payment may put me under. This is very stressing. This is the newest used car I've owned and I thought it'd be reliable. I'll never buy a Chrysler again.
