Transmission dipstick threw out of the truck while moving and causes transmission fluid to spray out and now the truck will not move. It’s throwing 2 codes for the 3rd and 5th gears malfunctioning. There is a recall on the transmission we were not notified about until we called the dealership to explain what happened.

This is the worst truck I've ever purchased, a simple fix needed to the pulley tensioner and the clutch fan is needed..been to dealer twice going a 3rd time . The fuel pump cp4 is a danger to drivers and pedestrians as these trucks are meant for pulling heavy loads and mostly on interstates which makes it a danger. The cp3 is needed back in the trucks as there is a horrible fuel pump chatter at this point and an iminant failure is coming soon. Also the truck rolls in park like 5 feet for no reason while off in park

Went to cross a highway, started accelerating and about halfway across the road, the accelerator acted as if if just stopped working, and almost caused a collision with oncoming traffic. Managed to coast across the road, and get out of harms way. Tried to take off again and got to approximately 20mph and the accelerator stopped working again. Took off again and the truck seemed to be ok, then at random the accelerator would just stop working. Got it back home, until I get get it to a dealership.

Was given a run around on the timeframe for repair. Chrysler and dealership decided to have the vehicle towed to the dealership where the truck was purchased. Promised to have a transmission on 10/14. Chrysler called several days later and stated a transmission would be expedited and should arrive on 10/19. No transmission showed up. Chrysler stated a 2nd transmission was shipped and arrived at the dealership on 11/28. The truck was returned to us on 10/30. On 11/07

2nd visit to dodge dealership, While towing a trailer with the trailer electrical plug in use, the trailer breaks keep going out, I am driving down the road and the dash warning comes on saying the trailer breaks are disconnected. When trying to stop, at first I will not have trailer breaks, so I have to bare down on the truck brakes to stop the trailer, then the trailer brakes start working and jerks the truck back. Also, when not towing a trailer the dash warning comes on saying incompatible trailer?? No trailer is plugged in. At the dealership all day, they are telling me nothing is wrong.
