NHTSA Complaint #10143764 — 2001 DODGE RAM 1500

I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, TRAFFIC REAL HEAVY STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC, STARTED TO GO TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, COULD NOT DRIVE IT OUT OF THE TRAFFIC OR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE IN IT. HAD IT FIXED, VERY HIGH PRICED. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, SHOULDN'T IT BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE OR OTHERS. THERE WAS NO OTHER SIGNS, OTHER THAN IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS YEAR TRUCK MODELS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. FIRST THE DASH SPIT IN MANY PLACES ,THEN THE AIR CONDITION WENT OUT AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN IT STARTED IT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, ITS NOT PAID FOR. I WILL NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN, UNLESS THE DODGE COMPANY SHOWS ME THAT THEY ARE A BIT CONCERN. NONE OF THESE THINGS WERE FIXED BY THEM OR A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO A LOT OF THE TRUCK OWNERS AND THEY ARE HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION, THANK GOD THAT IT WASN'T ANYONE HURT BUT IT WAS VERY MUCH DANGEROUS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MODEL, ITS NOT WHAT I AM PAYING FOR. THANK YOU. *JB
