JRRF, I thought the softer, slower shifting was just in my head because it was gone for a month but I remembered the D having more guts. So I test drove a new R/T at another dealer. Big difference. Also, I saw a new sticker under the hood with "PCM performance update" hand written in marker on it. I called my service advisor at my dealer and asked about the sticker and my perceived slowness. He said it's normal to update the software and my update was to protect the new transmission, hense my perceptions and my de-tuned ECM.
My attorney received a letter from Chrysler asking for my loan payment history and registration last week. He was told by a Chrysler Rep in Irvine Ca that they will be taking my D back before March. The circumstances of my D clearly violated CA Lemon law. My Attorney handled this case on consignment
