This was 2 years after purchase. I took it in to the dealer for a Recall and a check up. They didn't report an issue with the transmission (obviously incorrect). We drove it for another 20,000 miles with periodic jerking and finally the transmission blew up in June 2022. $8,000 to fix, with only 57,000 miles on the car.
This was 8 months after purchase. I took it in to the dealer to check on the transmission and they said it was fine and that's how the new ones shift and they updated the software. We took it in many times over the years and none of the check ups said there was an issue with the transmission (Obviously incorrect). We drove it for another 50,000 miles with periodic jerking and finally transmission blew up in June 2022. $8,000 to fix, with only 57,000 miles on the car.

When I drive to work and I'm stopped at a stop light, my Durango jerks. It takes so long to get going to the point I think I have put my car in neutral and then it will just take off as if I have just revved up my engine for a race. Then on my way on home, EVERYDAY this happens, I drive down a hill and at the bottom of this hill is a stop light, when slowing down to stop at the light, the car shifts hard like I'm a first time driver and can't figure out depth perception which makes others slam on their brakes. It's super annoying for me and a hazard for others and myself.
My car has been in the shop for over a month. And the only thing dodge can tell me is the part is on back order. This car is a 2015, it should not take months for no parts. But I'm stuck paying a car note and insurance for a car I can't drive. And I have a case manager at dodge that I have to contact. She tells me she is going to call me on this day to give me an update on my car and she never does until I call her. Then she sounds so stupid asking me what do I want her to do. I tell her declare the car a lemon.
While driving, my transmission has started "jerking" while shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gears. It is very noticeable and I am wondering if this is trending issue around 20,000 miles? It seems to shift fine from 3rd gear on.
