This 1999 Dodge Ram was sold to me by ozark Dodge in ozark, mo. This vehicle is a replacement for a 2001 that was a mechanical disaster. I had asked when I decided to accept their offer on the 1999 that they would do the following: change all fluids, alignment,and thoroughly go through this truck. 3 mos after the initial purchase I began having transmission problems. The transmission would slip and hunt for gears. I took it to aurora Dodge in aurora, mo. For the warranty repairs and they told me all repairs had been completed. There was also a note on the service order that the fluid had been previously poorly serviced. Which tells me that ozark Dodge didn't do a dam thing to this truck before they gave it to me to drive away!! I took the truck home and shortly thereafter (8 days) it began slipping and hunting for gears again. I have it in the shop for repairs again this will be it's 2nd visit to the shop for this. !! I cannot find anyone to help me to resolve this matter, I have called Chrysler customer service and other numbers that they had given me and to no avail. This is the 2nd piece of Chrysler ?!@#$% they have given me. This has to end now!!! I am requesting that if this problem cannot be repaired that the original dealership that sold it to me (ozark Dodge be responsible for ordering me a brand new truck with the same options on it with a standard transmission instead of an automatic trans. I have all paperwork dating back to the purchase of the 2001 that they sold me knowing that it was not road ready and a hazard to whom ever drove it!!!.

His transmission started slipping in August. I contacted the Chrysler corporation who stated that it wasn't their problem to have replaced, when we had 2 dealerships tell us that Dodge has always had problems with their transmissions, and that is why now they are offering the 7 year/70,000 mi. Powertrain warranty on all of their vehicles. We feel that they should recall this and have it replaced for no charge to us. The Dodge trucks we wre told have the longest running powertrain capabilities. We were also told that the transmission should not have gone out at 70,000 mi. When they are good for at least 150,000 mi. Before any problems should ever occur. If you should need any further information, please feel free to contact me at either number listed. Thank-you.
