1 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2018

I filed a complaint recently about my vehicle stating I thought there was a problem with my transmission solenoid but I took it to a transmission repair shop today and was told my transmission was failing. I'm filing this complete cause I believe this isn't something that just happens out of the blue. I take my car in for regular check ups and inspections and have always fixed anything that was wrong with it. My car is stuck in gear 4 and it's an automatic and this is a sudden mishap that has me wondering why this would happen without warning or have been told about this problem prior to it happening.

2 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2017

As I was driving down a city street I approached a stop light and came to a complete stop. Once the light turned green I proceeded to go. I noticed the vehicle hesitated to take off and looked down and realized the vehicle was in 4th gear. This is the 3rd time I have had this issue and each time I have had to pay out of pocket to get my vehicle fixed. I have replaced the shift solenoid pack 3 times and replaced the transmission once. The dealership told me that because I last had this service done 2 weeks ago they will cover the parts but I have to pay for the labor.

3 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2017

While driving down a residential street the vehicle jumped into 4th gear. I was going about 10 mph because I was approaching a stop sign. After I stopped I proceeded to take off and the vehicle hesitated. Once it started to move I noticed the vehicle jerked a little and moved really slow but the rpm was really high. I parked the vehicle and had it towed to a Dodge shop near my house. They did a diagnostic test and told me they had to change the shift solenoid pack in the transmission. I agreed to the repair and paid $639. 65 for the repair to be done. This is the 2nd time I have had this repair done within a year.
