Consumer Description

I OWN A DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT 4X4 WHICH HAS 6700 MILES ON IT. AT 3800 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. MARK THOMAS MOTORS IN ALBANY SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A REASON FOR IT TO HAVE GONE OUT, AT NO COST TO ME. AT 67K MILES BOTH THE ENGINE HEADS WERE CRACKED FROM RUNNING TO LEAN AND ADVANCED TIMING. THAT COST ME $1000 AND MARK THOMAS MOTORS AGAIN ADJUSTED THE COST. ALTHOUGHT I HAVE BEEN TREATED EXTREMELY WELL FROM THIS DEALERSHIP I SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS THIS SOON. VARIOUS FORUMS DISCUSS THESE TOPICS IN GREAT DETAIL. DODGE HAS KNOWN OF THESE ISSUES AND HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THE PROBLEMS. I'M NOW WAITING FOR MY F250 TO BE DELIVERED, I'M DONE WITH DODGE FOR NOW.*AK
