I wouldn't complain until it actually does break. Just because it has happened to the gen before this does not mean that it is a problem for us 4th gen guys. And let me just make sure i am reading this right...Ivaskaj, you knowingly bought this truck knowing it had problems before and now you are complaining about a "maybe" problem in the trans? Sounds like you should have just bought something else instead of buying one and then coming on here and complaining about it.

In these transmissions, the clutches are the "gears". When I refer to second prime gear, I mean the clutches. Gear, clutch, same thing. The trans programming is to blame. I don't care WHAT is breaking, be it a gear or a clutch or whatever. The bottom line is, IT BREAKS. Unacceptable in a $40,000 truck. Chrysler should be ashamed. I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle again due to this BS. Good job, guys. Next time, how about designing a freakin tranny that can hold up to the power being dished out to it. Worthless. Just ****ing worthless. What the hell were they smoking, anyway? Someone needs to die for this tranny issue.
Tell us how many people with a stock 2009 have gone through a transmission because it could not hold up to the power of the stock engine? There are people on this forum that have towed decent amounts through mountains, who have not had a single issue.
I am sorry you can't WOT downshift with your truck through traffic all day long. Why don't you get a vehicle that you can beat the **** out of instead of asking a 5500 lb vehicle to perform like a sports car?
