David, it saddens me to read about your transmission problems. I work at the factory where they are built, so there is some pride and embarrasment.
We do a lot of the casting and machining in house to ensure high quality. Unfortunately a lot of the issues have been with parts supplied to us by vendors. Such as, Timken bearings were used exclusively, but one was very expensive. A vendor said "hey, I can sell you one just like it for a lot less". Guess what, it was causing major failures way down the road because the preload would go away. Lesson learned there, many future repeat customers gone.
At 47,000 miles, Chrysler should stand beind their products regardless of the warranty.
