Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: His transmission started slipping in august. i contacted the chrysler corporation who stated that it wasn't their problem to have replaced, when we had 2 dealerships tell us that dodge has always had problems with their transmissions, and that is why now they are offering the 7 year/70,000 mi. powertrain warranty on all of their vehicles. we feel that they should recall this and have it replaced for no charge to us. the dodge trucks we wre told have the longest running powertrain capabilities. we were also told that the transmission should not have gone out at 70,000 mi. when they are good for at least 150,000 mi. before any problems should ever occur. if you should need any further information, please feel free to contact me at either number listed. thank-you. walter butler. *ak
