Dakota SLT V6

My 2003 Dodge Dakota does not shift properly. I have to lift my foot off the accelerator for it to shift. If I don't it just screams at a high RPM and sounds as if it is about to blow, and sometimes I wish it would! It has a hard time making it up a small incline such as an overpass. I have had it checked twice at two different dealerships, but they haven't fixed the problem. It is by far the worst truck I have ever owned. I will never own another Chrysler/ Dodge product.
