My transmission has skipped and lunged since getting the car with 5000 miles on it. I have taken it into The Dodge Dealer in 3 cities, and 2 states. They adjust timing and then it works for about a week. I switches gears very hard. I whines terribly when going up a hill. And has very little power. I have run out of options as to what to do.
