| Description of the problem | Took vehicle in for transmission problems, (this the second transmission since bought) they basically tell me that it needs to completely fail before they will do something. Then they come back and say that they can replace the transmission cooler lines because they might be leaking for $410. 00. And they also say that my front right and left control arms are bad which of course they can be replaced for $845. 00. So for a problem that was under warranty they would not fix but they would like to fix other issues that may or may not be bad for a price....... Very disappointed in dodge. This may cause me to defect from chrysler and buy ford. |
