Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE RAM WITH 61000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DEALER SAYS I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I LATE FIND OUT THAT DAIMLERCHRYSLER ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN IN 10/02/2000 THAT THIS MODEL HAS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION PRESSURE BOOST VALVE...BULLETIN 21-11-00. SINCE MY FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY ARE TELLING ME I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. I THINK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL SINCE THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THEY HAD A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION IN 2000 AND STILL ALLOWED CARS TO BE SOLD WITH THE DEFECT. *NM
