I had my tranny replaced for the popping out of first gear problem and once they got the tranny to the dealership, it took a day and a half. I haven't had any problems with the transmission since, 15K miles later.

Also, if you've had the car in for other problems with less than 2K miles, you might want to look at the lemon laws in your area. Complain loudly and stick to your guns...Chrysler has traded out for new cars in extreme cases.

And as for wondering if they will say that it's your fault, I haven't heard anyone complain about that...in all the problems we've heard about, the dealers are bending over backwards to fix everything under warranty; the service issues have been their learning curve on exactly how to fix the cars.

Just out of curiosity, what's your build number (last five digits of your VIN)?

Many of us know some of the frustration you are going thru...I'm still grumbling about the "service learning curve" after 9 months. But I'll tell you, when I picked up my car from the shop today, it was just such a joy to drive that it's all worth it.

Good luck!
