Description of the problem | Power train thump and shudder, constantly complained to dealership, did not take any action until recently (jan 2014 with approximately 58,000 miles), when the automatic 4 wheel drive would not engage in poor winter driving conditions. No codes related to the problem, i drove the vehicle and demonstrated the problem. Dealer could not recreate problem when chrysler technician came to service location. It is likely the system was reset to learn mode, transmission did not display problem during learn mode. Rebuilt the transmission and replaced the transfer case (over 9 weeks in the shop). Problem may have been solved, but have not been able to drive the vehicle due to weather and business travel. The transmission in this year is a mercedes unit, effectively a bastard step child with no ongoing technical support.. The drive train integration with engine controls and diagnostics dangerously ineffective. |
