That reviewer was less than satisfied.
You are correct.Dodge is owned by Fiat I believe, not General Motors
There are also Dodge mechanics who won't recommend Dodge products, while there are plenty of GM technicians who do recommend (& purchase) GM products.A friend of mine has been a GM master mechanic for 16 years.
He had a charger, hated the thing. He sold it and got a Mustang. Has nothing but bad things to say about Chevy, GM, etc.
When a GM mechanic won't even recommend a GM product...
I used to feel that way. These newer autos have changed my mind, at least for Mopars. I still like a manual, I just don't like the one Dodge is using. The detents are too firm, I like a transmission to slip into gear smoothly.Dodge has a long history of poor reliability in their auto trannys. Besides, anyone with any sense of performanperformance gets a manual.
Do they shift faster? Potentially, but it's not an absolute. Also, what difference does it make if it shifts faster into the wrong gear or can't think ahead to be in the right gear at the right time?
This was my experience with a first production year ('92) Concorde with the 3.5 24 valve.Dodge has a long history of poor reliability in their auto trannys. . .
