This is my second complaint. My 2006 Durango seems to not want to change gears. It seems to do it more frequently when the air is on. However, it does it way too often when the air isn't on. It seems like a big jerk, and it takes it a minute to get into the gear. Especially when I try to speed up. It happens on short trips as well as on the interstate. It makes me feel like the transmission is about to fall out. I love my car. I have only had it a little over a year. However, if these problems continue, I will have no choice but to trade it. I have already had one recall on it for the instrument panel. I need to know if there is a recall on this problem . I have talked to other people who are having the same problems.
