I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 49000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE THEN I SLOWED DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN TO BETWEEN 3 AND 7 MPH AND THE WHOLE THING JUST LOCKED UP. I TRIED EVERY GEAR BUT NOTHING WOULD UNLOCK THE TRANNY.. IT'S STILL LOCKED UP NOW I HAD TO GET IT TOWED.. LUCKILY I WAS ON A LITTLE TWO LANE ROAD WITH NOT MUCH TRAFFIC SO THERE WASN'T TO MANY MAD PEOPLE I FEEL DODGE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THERE PROBLEMS AND PROBLEM CARS.. IM NOT ASKING FOR MUCH JUST FOR MY CAR TO MAKE IT OVER 50000 MILES.
