You have complaints you dealer should be fixing.

Subject: DML: 4.7L auto tranny

I just signed on to this list today and already I have a question for
all of you '00 4.7L automatic equipped Dakota owners. How does your
transmission shift? I ask because mine seems to have a chatter between
shifts sometimes. It seems the harder you accelerate the sloppier it
shifts. The other day while pulling a trailer I had to floor it to get
out into traffic and between the 1st and 2nd shift it acted like it hit
the rev limiter even though it barely hit the red line. The dealer
first said that they were waiting for a TSB, but I feel like it is more
than that. It's been to the dealership 4 times! I feel it is a computer
problem because it doesn't happen all of the time. I'm curious if
anyone else has or is experiencing this. I had a 1990 Chevy truck with
240K miles on it that shifted better than my new Dakota does with only
14k miles.
Thanks,
Al
