Consumer Description
I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT CAN'T BE DEFINED OR PIN-POINTED. IT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST YEAR NUMEROUS TIMES. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX. THE TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGH SPEEDS OR DROPS INTO 4WD LOW AT MODERATE SPEEDS, LATELY THE TRANSFER CASE WILL MAKE NOISE WHEN I UNLOCK THE TRUCK AND WHEN I GO TO START IT THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS AND DROPS INTO 4WD LOW!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR MY AWARENESS OF THE SOUNDS OF THE TRUCK AND READY TO MAKE A SAFE MANEUVER, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS CRASH. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS! LOOK ON THE INTERNET. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. NO MECHANIC CAN FIX IT YET! THEY SAY CHANGE THE TRANSFER CASE OUT $2000, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS FIX IT... THIS IS A SEVERE HAZARD AND I WILL NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE MY TRUCK BUT ME.. I FOUND IF YOU SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE TOWING NEUTRAL BUTTON IT SOMETIMES KICKS IT BACK IN TO THE RIGHT SETTING. YOU WILL SEE IT SCROLL THROUGH 4WD LOW .. 4WD HIGH AND SERVICE 4WD ON THE DASH. THEN GO TO NORMAL.. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT!!! THE FEDS NEED TO GO AFTER DODGE TO FIND THE ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL!!!! I WILL SUE DODGE FOR EVERYTHING IF ANY ACCIDENT OCCURS FROM THIS. I SHOULD SUE THEM NOW JUST FOR MY EXPENSE, LOSS OF WORK TIME AND ANXIETY!!!! THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND STOP "LOOKING THE OTHER WAY"! PLEASE SOMEONE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL NEEDS TO TAKE THE LEAD AND FORCE DODGE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT! *TR
