What owners wrote
I brought my car 8 months ago and the delalership never told me about any of the four recalls I never received any papers in the mail concerning the recalls and that puts me and my children at risk everyday it's a scary feeling I also hit a tree that was in the middle of the street my steering g wheel was hard to control and my breaks as well
Known tremec tr6060 issue & dodge refuses to help!! Star case# s1021000004 & k38556860. The grease used in the transmission turns into a glue at high temps causing the trans to not shift properly through the gears either going into gear or getting stuck coming out of gear. If hot enough this grease fuses the pilot & throwout bearing to the input shaft requiring those be replaced at minimum. This happened to me & the car could not be put in 1st-4th without a severe grinding noise.
