THIS IS MY FIRST POST [NO I AM NOT SHOUTING...I HAVE A NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER AND ALL CAPS IS EASIER..SORRY]
FEB. WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2005 DODGE DUALLY 4X4, 4 DR, 8' BODY, AUTO, DIESEL. IT SURE IS A BEAUTY. WE HAD NO CHOICE AS THE F350 DIED IN FLORIDA AND WE NEEDED A TRUCK TO PULL OUR 36' 5TH WHEEL ALL AMERICAN TOY HAULER BACK UP TO MAINE.
WE HAVE HAD THE LITTLE JEWEL BACK TO THE DEALER ...3 X'S .

STARTING SLOWLY IT SHUDDERS IN FIRST AND A LITTLE IN 2ND. [WITH/WITHOUT TRAILER]
W/OUT THE TRAILER... WHEN GIVING IT THE THROTTLE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE..... IT HAS A HESITATION AND THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR.

WE WERE TOLD BY THE FLA DEALER..... THE COMPUTERS CHECKED OUT FINE.
THE DEALER TOLD US WHEN THE TRUCK GOT USED TO MY DRIVING IT WOULD ADJUST.
AND BECAUSE IT WAS A BIG TRUCK.

DEALER IN MAINE SAYS.... IT CHECKES OUT OK. IT WAS THE FIRST 2005 TRANNY THEY HAD SEEN THAT WAS ALL COMPUTERIZED.

ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM

 

Mine acted a little like that in the begining, but after 6000 miles my foot or maybe the computer (maybe a combination of the two) I havent noticed it in a while.... I would also suggest taking the tech on a test drive and duplicate the problem yourself. Something simular happened to my wife's Sebring where the dealer said "the computer said nothing is wrong" but with the tech in the passenger seat and diag computer in the lap they found a problem....
