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!!!!
