We bought a 2000 Dodge Dakota sport in January 2008. Ever since we've had it, it's rpm goes up to 3 1/2 to 4 rpms before it shift from first to second and from second to third. At first, it was when we would first leave our parking lot, and now it does it almost all the time. We bought it at kunes in delavan, wisconsin and they say that it's normal. We've never owned a vehicle or known anybody who has ever had that happened to. The truck only has 67,000 miles on it. If this is normal why is it getting worse the more we drive it.
Vehicles transmission would heat up and we could only use first gear. After driving the vehicle 25 miles at 55 mph transmission would only use first, reverse and park. It has been to two transmission shops and two dealerships and still don't know what is wrong.
The transmission just act liked it went into neutral, but now I know the transmission completely went out suddenly.
I stopped the truck and put in the park position, I then came out of the truck, closed the door and the truck started to move in the reverse direction, I ran after the truck to see if I could stop it but the reverse speed was to fast for me and the truck hit the tree damaging the rear bumper and I fell back injuring my back. Checked the position of the shift after above incident to see the pointer position above "r". I tried several times to duplicate the same symptom without any success. This I know for certain you can not get out of the truck when it is in reverse.
Latest problem is stalling at stops. One occurred while crossing railroad tracks. The problem was traced to the transmission. Ph.
The steering column starting squeaking, and the shift stick would wiggle a little while in gear. Then one of the next times I went to go move the truck I put it into reverse, stepped on the gas and it shifted itself into drive. Also, when driving it, when I turn the wheel it would change gears. I have taken it to my dealer a year ago for the same problem, but all they did was tightened things in the steering column.
Truck was in for several things wrongat 1542 miles , brakes and powertrain was a couple of then they said it was okay, they must not have checked anything because now they are failling in a short time while I'm tring to get all this straightened out my truck is getting worse please help.
