The 1st year after purchase it started having transmission problems. It would "shudder" whenever it gets in 3rd gear or higher. I would take it in, they would "re-adjust the computer" they'd say and it would be ok. I took it in once and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it, but a month later the entire transmission crapped out and they had to replace a couple thousand dollars worth of parts in it. Its been maybe another year since that last major episode and now its back up to its old tricks, shuddering. All in all I've had it in for repairs atleast 4 times, maybe 5 (counting the one time they told me I'm imagining it and they did nothing).
Its coming up on 3 years of ownership, the warranty has expired, and the transmission is acting up again as mentioned. I'm tired of this and know I'm going to have to end up paying obscene costs of transmission work if I keep it. I'm interested in the Lemon law. From what I've read, it expires after 3 yrs since purchase (I have ~1.5months left till the 3yr mark). The car has low milage 28k and has been driven respectfully, it just shouldn't keep giving me this headache.
I bought the care in AL and all repairs took place in AL. I have since moved to TN and haven't had any problems until now.
1. I'm retarded and didn't keep the repair work statements from the repairs over the years and am wondering if I call if they would mail them to me?
2. Should I just take it back in for repair and say examine it, I want my money back?
3. Should I try to obtain the repair records before I say I want the Lemon law enacted?(I wouldn't think a proffessional organization, dodge, would touch records, but I'm just leary).
4. Should I try to get a lemon lawyer immediately? Or do I need the records first?
Any other advice would be appreciated.
