Occasionally, when going from first gear to second gear while engaged in a turn, the vehicle gives a violent jerk from first to second gear. It seems as if the vehicle is stuck, until the vehicle jolts forward. The manufacturer states the problem doesn't exist.

In the process of a turn and going from first gear to second gear, the vehicle emits a violent jerk as it struggles to switch gears. This has occurred since I purchased the vehicle 2 years ago. The dealership has examined the vehicle and contends there is nothing wrong with it.

Transmission hesitates, then jerks while getting into second gear. I consider this a safety hazzard while making turns. This could cause an accident.

Several time my overdrive light has come on and then has shut off in the last year. The dealer has told me that there is nothing they can do unless I bring the truck in while the light is on. One day in July on my lunch hour I was sitting in the drive thru getting lunch and my overdrive light came on and wouldnt shut off. The transmission light came on and the temp gauge shot up in the red zone. I immediatley parked the vehicle and called roadside assitance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer called me and told me theire was nothing wrong. They siad you must have pushed the overdive light by accident. I dont think so I told them. They said they put the truck on their machine and it told them the lights and guages never showed they lit up or overheated. Impossible. Im afraid im going to get stranded again with my child. My airconditioner doesnt cool well and they say it cools fine. My truck is currently in the shop due to the paint is lossing its clearcoat. Love the Durango but very disgusted.
