Consumer Description

DODGE REPLACED THE FIRST TRANSMISSION AT 24000 MILES, AT 48000 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS AOUT OF WARRANTY AND CHARGED ME $1500. THE VERY DAY IT LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IT BEGAN TO ACT UP AGAIN. THEY TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AND FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM WAS SPORADICALLY CLOGGING UP. THEY REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND SO FAR SO GOOD. TRANSMISSIONS LIKE MY MODEL HAVE BEEN FAILING ON MANY DODGES. NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT [XXX]. ASK SOMEONE WHO DRIVES A 1997 DODGE RAM 1500 (GAS) IF THEY HAVE HAD A PROBLEM.*AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
