NHTSA Complaint #10594240 — 2006 DODGE RAM 2500

WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE HAPPEN AGAIN. ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC AND YET AGAIN THE TRUCK BEGINS TO BUCK AND ACT ALL WACKY... THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT WHEN TRYING TO MANEUVER IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC AND AVOID GETTING REAR ENDED OR T-BONED BECAUSE OF THE DELAY IN THE TRUCK TRYING TO SHIFT INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEARS. THIS TIME WE HAD TO REPLACE AND REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION, I DON'T LIKE SHELLING OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY WHEN DODGE IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF WITH THE SOLENOID ISSUES EITHER GETTING STUCK OPEN OR CLOSED AND MAKING THE REPAIRS, MAKING IT VERY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER. WE ARE VERY LUCKY WE DID NOT GET REAR ENDED OR T-BONED WHILE TRAVELING A DISTANCE AND LIMP BACK TO OUR HOUSE AND CONCERNED FOR OUR FAMILY WHILE IN THIS VEHICLE. VERY ANGRY CONSUMER WITH DODGE FOR NOT WANTING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PREVIOUS VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED, SO THEY CHANGE THE PARTS TO ENHANCE THE TRANSMISSION TO A SELF GREASING SOLENOID AND INSIDE PARTS TO AVOID THIS COSTLY REPAIR TO THEMSELVES. *TR
