I have repaired the entire front suspension system, brake system, sway bar bushing, water pump, etc. Now the head gaskets blew. . . Are there any recalls or ways you can refund me?.
The computer in the transmission is making my car jerk from 1st gear to 2nd gear. I have a lifetime power tran warranty yet they say that there is no "fix" for my car, basically I have to either drive it like it is or buy another one and I do not think that is fair for a loyal customer like myself. Every time I call, they manage to loose my lifetime warranty, this last time the customer service person told me I didn't get my transmission serviced for the 10 year mark, I told them I did in March when Dodge said it was due - he now tells me that I got it done too early to make my warranty valid. What kind of mess is that. I just want my car fixed yet Dodge is telling me that they are not going to provide a patch or even create one. When I drive, mainly early mornings, my car will do a hard shift from 1st gear to 2nd gear. No matter uphill, downhill, rounding a curb, straightaway, highway or streets.

Had to replace the tipem,win and have key fobs reprogrammed to system. Have heard from other Dodge owners with similar problems that have had these parts replaced several times. I believe parts are defective causing these problems with the vehicles. I have researched and found multiple cases and not one significant cause as to why this keeps occurring. I even asked the Dodge mechanic and he stated the he doesn't know what would cause this to happen. As new as these vehicles are with maintenance upkeep this shouldn't happen and it usually occurs when the warranty has expired. This seems to occur most with 2006 thru 2009 models.
