Default 06 ram tranny problems

well i got a 2006 ram 1500 about a month ago. bought it brand new with 20 miles on it. not its got about 1500.. last weekend i was driving down the highway and it all of a sudden started going crazy. shifting up and down getting stuck into low gears. i pulled over shut iot off waited about 10 mins and drove off. it seemd fine until when i tried to speed up i realized it was stuck in 2nd gear. well i was pretty far away from my house and teh dealership. so i took all backroads. ( it was sunday so the dealership couldnt do anythign anyways). so first thing monday morning i go to drive it to the dealership. well it wwas fine up until it hit 3500+ plus rpms. everytime i gassed it it woudl take off then slip right into neutral around 3500 rpms. lickily the dealership wasnt far from my house ( about 20 mins). i drove slow. when i got there the thing just poretty much **** the bed. wouldnt not go forward or backwards or anything. they checked it all out. they are replacing the tranny now, iso i have to put up with a rental for a week or so. but it just sucks i was soo pissed. i love the truck soo much its my baby. hopefully she will be back to normal. just wondering if anybody else seen tranny problems with the newer rams. the dealership said the only problems they see with the rams is teh trannys. i mean i wasnt beating on it becaus eit was still breaking in the whoel time i had it. just started going crazy one day. anyways. just sucks to have such a nice brand new truck have problems already. whats are the odds?? ha i have some pretty bad luck i geuss

sometimes there is the odd truck that is the black sheep. It can't be helped. I drive an 03 but nothing has ever happened so far. If it does, I hope it happens before the 7/70 expires. i plan on getting a Superchip so that I can illiminate the positive shifting and torque management.

well finally after 3 weeks i got teh truck back last night. made it a mile down teh street to get on the highway and it started doing teh same thing again. so i brought it right back. and into teh shop it goes yet again. ( last time in the shop it got a brand new tranny). now they think its electrical.... yes this is teh 3rd time its been back i filed for lemon law. and they get one more shot to fix it. chrysler corporation ha sbeen a pain in teh *** with all this too. ive called customer service becaus ei have had teh worst service ever and they just keep on adding stress by hiring out of country peopel who can barely speak english just because its cheaper pay for them. its sucks. the truck has been in teh shop longe rthan ive actually had it in my possesion. i only had for a few weeks befor ei started having problems with it.

don't forget the lemon law is 3 times attempted to fix it or 30 days in the shop.
