So, missing complaints #2 and #3, this is the 4th transmission failure. The last transmission was replaced at around 68k miles, and I made it another 70k with this one. However, now, Dodge will not honor my "lifetime" engine and powertrain warranty, because I "failed to take it for a 5 year transmission inspection". This present transmission hasn't been in the vehicle for 5 years! I was informed that it "wasn't how it works" that I was supposed to go to the dealership at the 10 year anniversary of my vehicle purchase for that "inspection". They never informed me of this, nor were they willing to work with me on it. I am stuck now with a vehicle that will not move. So, I am going to be "getting out of Dodge" so to speak. NEVER will I EVER buy another Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler/MOPAR product.
