We bought this truck used from a dealer with 25k miles . . . At 32k we started to have transmission issues. The truck has been in and out of the shop with tranmission related fault codes, service etc since we've owned it, now after 2k in service in Dec 03 and 2 trips back to the dealer for the engine light being on we are told the transmission is gone!!!!! why didn't the dealer catch this 3 weeks ago when it was back in?? the dealer, rappahannock motors in king george, va even contacted Chrysler for us to try and get a replacement transmission, to no avail . . . This tells me that the dealer knows this is an issue!!!!.
