Consumer Description

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT 36,000 MILES. AT WHICH TIME THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAID I NEEDED TRANSMISSION SENSORS. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AT 70,000 MILES I NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ON THIS NEW DODGE RAM TRUCK. I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THE TRUCK, AND ONLY TOWED ONCE A LIGHT HORSE TRAILER. I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRUCK REPAIRED BECAUSE IT COSTS $3,000 I DON'T HAVE. MY TRUCK PAYMENT IS $500 A MONTH CURRENTLY.*AK
