If i'm driving speeds of 25-45 and slow down to turn or go up a hill or whatever 10 mph or so i give it gas and it just rev's up i can tell its staying in second if i really mash the gas it'll drop into 1st but its a very hard drop ...is this normal it only has 1000 miles on it....

dentguy, it doesn't sound right. And being brand new I would get it back to the dealer and get it checked asap.

And



When you get a chance change your location to city and state please. Just so folks know where you hail from.

Its almost like i have to slow down to atleast 5mph to get it to go or put it in manually kinda of annoyed with it....i hope its just something they can reprogram or update the computer...

mine does the smae, but mine is hesitant to down shift also doesnt like going into 5th. would pulling the pcm fuse help.

Yours does the same huh? Thats not what i wanted to hear...Well i dropped it off at the dealer tonight i guess they can try and update it or flash it or something hopefully i'll get it back tomorrow and i'll post if they fixed or made it worse.........chris

Well as usual no codes no lights no problem...test drove and said it seems fine i told him how and when it does it and they basically said deal with it........chris.

As for yours houstonhemi i i know if the engine temp isn't up to normal it won't shift into 5th til it reaches temp...And as for not wanting to downshift i noticed if you grandma it and look for good mpg it gets used to that i notice when i race around in it or tow my boat all of a sudden it comes to life and is very responsive and downshifts quicker.........chris

yes i do drive like a grandma, alot of times people get tired and pass me from red lights.

Even at operating temp. on the freeway it wont shift into 5th unless im going atlest 70, i can leave it at 65 or 67 on crusie for ever and i will be over 2 grand in 4th but if i go 70 plus and im lucky it will go into 5th and be a lil under 2 grand. Is this normal for an mds engine.

Welcome to HTC.com dentguy - sorry it took so long to welcome you aboard

You might want to try another dealership... couldn't hurt. Keep us updated on that issue!

Thanks guys...As for another dealer i think i'm just gonna drive it and when it does its lil temper tantrum i'm just going to hold the gas on and let her slip away and see what happens its warrantied...no worries...chris

Truck hasn't done it since i took it from the dealer they must of done something to the computer....One thing i am pissed about is driver side speaker went 1st day i had truck they replaced it 2 weeks later got a letter in the mail for TSB speaker recall i bring it in they tell me i'm crazy today front passenger side speaker went now i gotta go back to the dam dealer AGAIN........chris

Sorry to hear of your problems...I have some tranny problems, too.

i had a jeep grand cherokee that did what yours is doing would put into gear and have to wait for it to turned out they had to replace the tranny eventually it just wouldn't go anymore.good luck with it....chris

Thats how mine is. My wifes Durango did it also and they changed the valve body and all was well and her milage went up. Im taking mine back in a wk or so. My service rep said they are ordering a valve body for mine and they will call me when its in. Funny thing about this is I bought these two vehicals in December and they have the same problem. The Durango has 1200 miles and my truck has 2700 miles. They give us loaner cars so its cool. The dealor also asked if we wanted to go and pick out another Durango and my wife said she wanted the one we bought and to just fix it. We have lifetime warranty plus the dealor gave us 100000 mile full bumper to bumper waranty for the 2 vehicals for 500. each.
