TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN 100 MILES. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 1,000 MILES, THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER TO CHANGE THE TIRES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM ON APRIL 9. ON APRIL 15 I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. WHEN I TOOK OFF THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FROM APRIL 15 UNTIL APRIL 29. THEY NEVER DID EXPLAIN WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT ALL THEY REPLACED BECAUSE MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW. THIS HAPPENED IN JUNE JULY AND AUGUST ALL UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND A MAN NAMED LARRY MCCLAIN CONTACTED ME. HE WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALER EVERY TIME THEY HAD THE CAR. HE ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALL UNTIL THIS TIME WHEN I SAID THE CAR FELL UNDER THE NC LEMON LAW. EACH TIME THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE THIRD TIME THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED BECAUSE MOISTURE COULD BUILD UP IN A SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSE IT TO FAIL. THIS IS WHAT THEY REPLACED THE THIRD TIME. THIS TIME I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK. ALL I WAS TOLD TODAY WHEN I WENT BY THERE WAS THE PART THEY REPLACED DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS ANDERSON'S IN WAYNESVILLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THOMAS HLL BURGIN IN KODAK TN AND I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE GENERAL MANAGER GENE MORRIS BUT HE WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS EITHER. NO ONE WILL HELP ME.*JB
