problem #3

2008Nov 12

Ram 3500 Laramie 5.9L Cummins

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,710 miles

4 speed auto tranny torque converter crapped out at 80k sending a grenade of sh*t into transmission. Was eventually fixed under warranty by dealer after fighting with them. Amazing how its always the consumers fault.

Heard a loud pop under the truck coming off a stop sign. 20 minutes later check engine light comes on, then transmission failed. The over drive planetary gear came apart destroying the tranny. Dodges fix was to rebuild the the tranny.

Ram 3500 Lariat

  • Manual transmission
  • 78,000 miles

The 6 speed manual transmission came out of this vehicle 2,000 miles away from my home. I made it to the dodge dealer. They informed me that my manual transmission needs to be replaced. I had to fly home and told them to fix it ASAP. It now has been 5 weeks and they still have not received my transmission from Daimler Chrysler. It has to be ordered from Germany. I cannot believe this. 5 weeks!!!
I can not believe you can't buy a transmission for an American made car in the US. This is my work vehicle and I had no income for 5 weeks now. THIS IS THE LAST DODGE I WILL EVER PURCHASE!!!
