2016 Ram 1500 Sport

[Jake]

I called a second Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram dealership (Farrish, in Fairfax) the other day and just asked for a second opinion on the transmission cold-shift concern. Doesn't hurt, right?

The service advisor laughed when I told him the Tysons dealership wanted a CEL code stored before doing any work. I dropped it off last night, they tested it today, and he called at 5 PM informing me that they're throwing a new transmission in it.

I think I got the one ZF8 made on a Friday at 5. Everyone else on the entire internet says this trans is excellent (and it has been, 99% of the time). Hrm.

Anyway, I'll get the truck back later this week. I'm in a Miata RF right now for Out Motorsports so I have wheels. If not, Chrysler would put me in a $0 loaner as part of the CPO warranty program. Hard to complain so far, they're listening to concerns and making them right with little hassle on my end.
