Thats the most butt ugly thing I have seen since the pontiac aztec.

Guess I'm old school. First thing I do is pour over the owners manual. I prefer to teach myself rather than have someone else teach me on basic things like vehicle operation and maintenance.

No one reads their owners manual anymore. Easier to jump on a forum and ask others to read it for you.

Agreed ^^. I would say it is all battery related.

Exactly!! Thannks so much for putting this into easily understood terms. Like I said before, I hope someone develops a tuner and addresses this. My Dakota was the same way. They designed the transmission to get into overdrive as quickly as possible. My superchips tuner allowed the trans to hold gears longer before shifting. Boy did it make my truck fun to drive after that!

Sell it yourself.

How many miles? Have you refernced your owners manual for recommended transmission fluid change intervals? What makes you think you need to service it?

Mines the same. Get longer/bigger screws.

Glad to hear another positive report!

LOL...making sure everyone is paying attention.... B)

Is this thread about horsepower or mileage?

Unnecessary revving sounds???? Is accompanied by unnecessary acceleration? While driving? Stopped at a light? In park, drive? Could you be a little more descriptive?

You can use this link to request a buiklt sheet for your vehicle. This will show if TPMS was factory installed. http://www.dodge.com/webselfservice/dodge/emailpage.html?appStr=wccs&titleStr=Contact+Dodge&familyStr=brand&franchise=D&actionURL=%2Fwccs%2Fbrand_forms%2Fus%2Fwebform.jsp&promotion=null&category=U

It's a wonder they don't make owners manuals optional equipment since hardly anybody references them for maintanance needs anymore.

Welcome to the forum! Glad to have another Chrysler expert. Not sure how to go about getting the build status. Someone will chime in with the necessary information I'm sure.

Probably about 8". Not much. We have one of those roof cargo carriers if we have to use the rear seats for passengers.

I don't know anything other than what thepackages state. If yours should have had it and doesn't, then you have a leg to stand on. Otherwise, it was not standard equipment in whatever package you purchased.

Are you AWD? Otherwise, nothing is going on in the rear end of a FWD car that would cause your problem on acceleration, unless it is a low traction situation and you are AWD and the AWD system is working by transferring torque between the front and rear drive systems to maintain traction.

Was actually my daugher driving when she was first learning.....both of us were looking at some fool on the side of the road burning weeds with a backpack torch....off the road she went. Totally my fault for distracting her.

Yes thats about right. Hit a mailbox with my Dakota. Replaced a headlight, passenger side mirror and the antenna. Approximately $300 in parts. The rest was labor and paint for a $1400 final cost. Filling in the scratch and repainting was @$1100 of the final cost. Labor rates are ridiculous. Luyckily insurance covered it and we have that accidenrt forgivness thing with Allstate, so my premium did not go up with the claim.

What looks rice imo, is that is the only red on the car. They stand out like a huge wing on a civic. Maybe if there were some other red accents as mentioned they swould lot stand out like a sore thumb. Sorry, I just don't look at that and go "wow, bad a$$". More like "wtf, did he run over a puddle of red paint?"... You asked for opinions.

It would probably have to be factory authorized repair facility to perform factory TSB's.

Ditto! Lets see how they look!

No. Looks rice. A DJ should not be riced. Save that for the civics.

TSB's are not covered if your warranty is expired.
