Consumer Description

WITH NO WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION ON OUR 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB PICK UP FAILED. IT WAS DURING A TURN IN AN INTERSECTION AND POWER WAS LOST AND THEN SURGED. FORTUNATELY, ON-COMING TRAFFIC WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE WERE INFORMED THAT NO RECALLS WERE ISSUED AND THAT IT WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY (OUR VEHICLE HAD 56,000 MILES). THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A PUMP FAILURE. THE COST WAS $3200. WE CONTACTED DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AS A SAFETY CONCERN. *JB
