2001 DODGE RAM 1500 Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. *TR

I OWN A 2001 DODGE RAM TRUCK. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. ONE WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION BLEW. I HAD TO PAY $1500 TO GET IT FIXED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT. NO BODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IM OUT ALL THIS MONEY AND THE TRUCK IS WORTHLESS TO ME. EVERYONE I TALK TO THAT OWNS ONE OF THESE TRUCKS HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS "EVERYONE". I THINK THE CHRYSLER CORP. SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS! *TR

I HAVE REPLACED 4 46RE TRANSMISSIONS IN MY 01 DODGE RAM SPORT 4X4. THE 46RE IS A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE KNOWN FOR BEING BAD. THEY EVEN HAVE THAT AS A REPUTATION. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY CONSUMERS. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSION FROM 46,000MILES TO 109,000 MILES, AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT IS IN IT NOW. IT HAS FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. IT COSTS ATLEAST 2000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND I'VE HAD TO PAY FOR 1 OF THEM BECAUSE THEY AREN'T COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW IN 2001. IN 2004 TRUCK STARTED SHIFTING HARD INTO 4TH. ALSO AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT IN HIGH HUMIDITY WOULD START ROUGH OR NOT START AT ALL. WOULD ONLY START AFTER ENGINE WARMED OR "DRIED" OUT. PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS ON EITHER PROBLEM. 2007; THROTTLE SENSOR WENT OUT. NOV 2007, TRUCK WOULD START OUT IN 2ND GEAR, WOULD NOT SHIFT DOWN INTO 1ST. THREE DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT AT ALL, HAD TO DRIVE HOME A TOP SPEED OF 25 MPH AT 2,000 RPM'S. IT'S NOW GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 84600 MILES JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING OR SLIPPING OF THE TRANNY,I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED. IT GOT A TRANNY FLUSH BUT STILL DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT SO I TOOK IT BACK IN AND IN THE INVESTIGATION ,WE REALIZED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANNY.THERES NO WAY A TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO OUT WITH ONLY 84000 MILES AND WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I RESEARCHED , I BELIEVE AS WELL AS ALL THE COMPLAINANTS,THAT DODGE SHOULD BE LIABLE AND MAKE A NATIONAL RECALL FOR THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FRICTION MATERIAL HAS BUILT UP WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION COOLER AND HAS BURNED THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 50,000.

2001 DODGE RAM, THE DASH IS CRACKED AND ROTTEN ALL THE WAY ACROSS. THIS NEW OF A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE TRASH ON THE INSIDE, AND THERE IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN WITH ALL THE DASH COMPONENTS WORKING CORRECTLY. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE GOING ON HERE, IF EVERY DODGE DASH IS CRACKING. DODGE TRANSMISSION- NORMAL HIGHWAY USE AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY JUNK, ALL OTHER BRANDS ARE STILL GOING FINE ON THEIR FIRST TRANSMISSION AND THEIRS ARE A LOT OLDER THAN MINE. TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH, THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IN A SERIOUS MANNER. *JB

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

MY DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT 4X4 WENT FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE IGNITION WAS OFF. MY 3 YEAR OLD PULLED THE SHIFTER WHILE STANDING IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE AND ROLLED DOWN THE HILL AND CRASHED INTO TREES. CAUSING APPROX. $5000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT SHOULD NOT DO THIS BY THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS ABOUT THIS SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES THIS TIME. BUT,THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED MAJOR INJURY OR DEATH TO MY CHILD. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, SHUTTERED AND MADE WHINNING NOISES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE HAS ALSO BEEN MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TO THE SERVICE DEALER FOR THE ENGINE PROBLEM. UPDATED 12/26/2006 - *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH AFTER THE GEARS CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS TO ALERT THE CONTACT OF THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, UPON INSPECTION THE PROBLEM WAS THE INPUT SHAFT IN THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED, NO REPAIRS MADE.

WHILE DRIVING A 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THE TORQUE CONVERTER DISINTEGRATED. THE DAMAGE CASCADED THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION AND MADE IT BARELY OPERABLE. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE OVERHAULED. *JB

I AM ABOUT TO PUT 4TH TRANSMISSION IN 2001-1500-DODGE RAM-4X4 I HAVE NEVER PULLED A THING AND HAVE HAD IT IN 4X4 LESS THAN 10 TIMES. MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A DODGE. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS COMMON IN THESE TRUCKS. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION I HAD REPLACED WAS DONE BY A DEALER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE PART THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM WAS A PART THAT DODGE HAD "REDESIGNED". SO BASICALLY DODGE KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT OFFER TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY KNEW WAS A FAILURE. *AK

I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK, TRAFFIC REAL HEAVY STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC, STARTED TO GO TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, COULD NOT DRIVE IT OUT OF THE TRAFFIC OR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE IN IT. HAD IT FIXED, VERY HIGH PRICED. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, SHOULDN'T IT BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE OR OTHERS. THERE WAS NO OTHER SIGNS, OTHER THAN IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THIS YEAR TRUCK MODELS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. FIRST THE DASH SPIT IN MANY PLACES ,THEN THE AIR CONDITION WENT OUT AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN IT STARTED IT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, ITS NOT PAID FOR. I WILL NEVER BUY A DODGE AGAIN, UNLESS THE DODGE COMPANY SHOWS ME THAT THEY ARE A BIT CONCERN. NONE OF...

SEPTEMBER 2005 WHILE AT WORK I GOT OUT OF MY 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 6 CYLINDER. TRUCK FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE. I LEFT THE MOTOR RUNNING AND SOMEHOW IT WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND CAUSED 2,800 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. *JB

TRANSMISSION FAILURE REBUILT 2 TIMES. *JB

I HAVE A DODGE 1500 V6 TRUCK THAT HAS BEEN A PAIN EVERY SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. IT NEVER RAN RIGHT FROM DAY ONE AND I WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. NOW AT 64,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IS BLOWN. THEY REALLY SUCK THIS WAS MY 3RD VEHICLE FROM DODGE AND I HAD PROBLEMS WITH EVERYONE

I PURCHASED A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB, VIN [XXX], FROM FOWLER DODGE IN OKLAHOMA CITY. THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD AS IS WITH ENGINE PROBLEMS. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL NEED OVER $2000 IN REPAIRS IN ORDER TO BE SAFE AND RELIABLE. THE PROBLEMS ARE AS FOLLOWS: #1 ENGINE CYLINDER HAS BURNT VALVE, NOT CREATING ADEQUATE CYLINDER PRESSURE #5 CYLINDER HAS BURNT VALVE, NOT CREATING ADEQUATE PRESSURE #8 CYLINDER HAS BURNT VALVE, NOT CREATING ANY PRESSURE BRAKES ROTORS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR HEADLIGHTS OPERATE IN FULL HIGH BEAM ONLY, ALL THE TIME. FAULTY HEADLGHT SWITCH THE MECHANIC I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAS RECCOMMENDED THAT I GET A LAWYER, WRITE TO YOU AND CHRYSLER AND GIVE FOWLER DODGE A CHANCE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS UNDER GOOD FAITH. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT ON NUMEROUS DODGE RAM...

TRANSMISSION HAS GONE BAD ON 2001 DODGE RAM. WEEK LATER ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF "OIL SLUDGE". HAVE SEEN SAME PROBLEM DOCUMENTED ON OTHER SITES ABOUT DODGE ENGINES.

DT: TRANSMISSION IS GETTING TOO HOT. CONSUMER WENT TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED FOR THIS PROBLEM ONCE ALREADY AND THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN. *TT

VEHICLE HAS 70,000 MILES AND ON HIGHWAY CRUISING ABOUT 65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING ABOUT 3 TIMES A MINUTE. I HAVE DONE TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE AT 68,500 MILES. AND THE FIRST GEAR WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND HAS NOT CHANGE EVER SINCE AND.

1)2001 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 QUAD CAB NORMAL DRIVING UNEXPECTED EVENT 2)TRANSMISSION FAILURE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR WAS WITHOUT CAR FOR 1 WEEK 3)REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $2,192.80 WHICH I HAD TO PAY TO THE DEALER WHICH SOLD ME THE TRUCK AND I HAD IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND DIDNT EVEN PUT 8,000 MILES ON IT IT HAD 56,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT AT $17,000.00! WHEN TRANSMISSION FAILED IT HAD 64,000 MILES ON IT. THE FRONT END IS ALSO LOOSE AND THE STEERING IS NOT RIGHT IM AFRAID I MAY LOOSE MY STEERING AND NEEDS REPAIR. AND I FEEL VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT.

TRANSMISSON: THIRD TIME IN FOR REPIAR. 1. TRANSMISSON CONNECTOR WENT CAUSING LOSS OF ALL FLUID WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY; 2. LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE TIGHTNED WOULD NOT SHIFT. PROBLEMS STARTING. . UNKNOWN PROBLME WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND TRANSMISSON OVERHEATING.*AK

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED OUT BEFORE THE WARRANTY OF 36,000 WENT OUT AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.THEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAD 50,200 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BURNED UP ..I HAD TO PAY 3200.00 .I CALLED DAIMLER CHRYSLER IN BONHAM.TX AND SPOKE TO A MECHANIC AND STATED IT I COULD FIND THE CAUSE AND IF IT WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THEY WOULD PAY TO FIX.THEN WHEN WE DID FIND IT WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM DAIMLER CHRYSLER BACKTRACKED AND STATED WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM .*AK

I OWN A DODGE RAM 1500 SPORT 4X4 WHICH HAS 6700 MILES ON IT. AT 3800 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. MARK THOMAS MOTORS IN ALBANY SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A REASON FOR IT TO HAVE GONE OUT, AT NO COST TO ME. AT 67K MILES BOTH THE ENGINE HEADS WERE CRACKED FROM RUNNING TO LEAN AND ADVANCED TIMING. THAT COST ME $1000 AND MARK THOMAS MOTORS AGAIN ADJUSTED THE COST. ALTHOUGHT I HAVE BEEN TREATED EXTREMELY WELL FROM THIS DEALERSHIP I SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS THIS SOON. VARIOUS FORUMS DISCUSS THESE TOPICS IN GREAT DETAIL. DODGE HAS KNOWN OF THESE ISSUES AND HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THE PROBLEMS. I'M NOW WAITING FOR MY F250 TO BE DELIVERED, I'M DONE WITH DODGE FOR NOW.*AK

AN ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON MY 2001 DODGE RAM SO I TOOK IT TO DOTSON BROTHERS DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY HAD A SERVICE BULLITIN THE PROBLEM WAS THAT DURING MANUFACTURING A PLATE WITH A HOLE TO SMALL TO LET FLUID TO PASS THOUGH WAS INSTALLED THIS CAUSES THE TOURQUE CONVERTER TO LOCK UP AND BECOME DAMAGED THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAS ON WED FEB 2 ON TUES FEB 8 I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED REDUCING MY SPEED DRAMATICLY I NAROWLY MISSED BEING REAR ENDED LUCKLY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND ME AFTER SITTING WITH THE TRUCK IN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE HOME. *AK

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT 36,000 MILES. AT WHICH TIME THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER SAID I NEEDED TRANSMISSION SENSORS. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED SINCE THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AT 70,000 MILES I NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ON THIS NEW DODGE RAM TRUCK. I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THE TRUCK, AND ONLY TOWED ONCE A LIGHT HORSE TRAILER. I HAVE NOT HAD THE TRUCK REPAIRED BECAUSE IT COSTS $3,000 I DON'T HAVE. MY TRUCK PAYMENT IS $500 A MONTH CURRENTLY.*AK

2001 DODGE RAM 1500, TRANSMISSION FAILURE STARTED AT 45,000 MILES. HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT 53,000. *JB

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN SEPT 2000. AFTER SIX WEEKS AND 1100 MILES I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER STATING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. (IT MADE NOISES AND SHIFTED VERY HARSHLY.) THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY CHECKED IT, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AT 36,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BLEW. THERE WERE NO GEARS AT ALL - NO FORWARD NO REVERSE. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED CLOSE TO HOME ON A QUIET ROAD SO NO ONE WAS HURT OR INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER RE-BUILT MY TRANSMISSION. WHEN I DROVE IT AFTER THAT A GRINDING/CHATTERING NOISE WAS OCCURING - I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I LEFT IT THERE FOR A DAY (NEVER GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALER) WHEN I CALLED THEM I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANS.. THEY HAD TAKEN IT FOR A RIDE AND HEARD NO...

I HAVE A 2001 DODGE 1500 W/A 5.9 V8. AT AROUND 58000 MILES TRANSMISSION STARTED TO GO OUT. TOOK IT TO A SHOP, AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. WE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. I AM AN HARD CORE DODGE BUYER, BUT THIS IS STARTING TO TURN ME OFF DODGES ALL TOGETHER. *AK

HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT,WATER PUMP REPLACED, IGNITION PROBLEMS WHICH LEAD TO A BURNT COMPUTER BOX. ALL OF THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY; WHICH THEY DROPPED WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD 2 DRIVERS. THIS WAS ALWAYS UNDER A BUSINESS CONTRACT. NEVER HEARD AGAIN FROM THE WARRANTY CO. EXCEPT TO SAY THAT I WAS CANCELLED. DODGE RAM 1500 ARE JUNK VEHICLES. *LA

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE, NO SLIPPING NO WARNIG, TRUCK JUST WOULD NOT GO HAD 60000 MILES THIS CAUSED ME AND MY MOTHER AND LITTLE CHILD TO WALK ON DANGEROUS HIGHWAY FOR HELP.REPAIR COST 1800.*AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER INDICATED DON'T FIX IT JUST GET A NEW VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *NM

I HAVE A DODGE RAM 1500 THAT I JUST PURCHASED 7 MONTHS AGO USED AND GUESS WHAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE AND THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 37, 000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE THAT DODGE KNEW THIS PIECE OF CRAP WAS NO GOOD. I FEEL LIKE THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD IT TO ME MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT IT. BUT I AM FIGHTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND DODGE NOW TO PUT A TRANSMISSION IN IT. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER OFFER EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT HAD A 70,000 MILES WARRANTY AND IT DOES NOT. TELL ME I DIDN'T GET A LEMON. I USED TO BE A DODGE/CHRYSLER PERSON AFTER THIS I WILL NEVER LOOK AT ANOTHER ONE.*AK

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, HESITATES CHANGING INTO HIGH GEAR,{I/E}ENGINE LUGS DOWN.WAS TOLD WHEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ,IT WAS BECAUSE IT IS ONLY A 6 CYC.I`M NOT SATISFIED AT ALL.*AK

I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE OUT OF THIS TRUCK AND I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN. *LA

TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN. *JB

I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE 46RE TRANSMISSION ON DODGE TRUCKS, HOPING I WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE IT. ON WED. NOVEMBER 12 2003 MY TRANSMISSION BLEW. CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING CAUSE OF MY MILEAGE OF 55,000. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER TOWED OR HAULED ANYTHING. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY TRUCK IS GOING TO GET A REBUILT IN IT BUT I WILL BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A $30,000 VEHICLE. *LA

I BOUGHT A 2001 DODGE RAM 1500 IN NOV 2002. SINCE IVE OWNED THE TRUCK I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IN THE TRANSMISSION: A LOCKING SILINOID, AN OVERDRIVE SOLINOID, 2 TORQUE CONVERTERS, AND A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER. I WOULD THINK THAT MAYBE I JUST HAD A LEMON, BUT THE MORE PEOPLE I TALK TO THAT HAVE THESE TRUCKS THE MORE THAT I FIND THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM THAT THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS (I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER) REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND MELTED A FEW WIRES. *AK *SCC *JB

TRANSMISSION, BRAKES, AIR CONDITIONING. *PH

WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE IT PRODUCED A LOUD NOISE. THEN, WHEN SWITCHING GEARS THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY, THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. IT STARTED BACK, BUT SEEMED TO HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO HESITATE. I ADDED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND TOOK A "TEST DRIVE" IN THE DRIVEWAY TO SEE IF IT CONTINUED TO HESITATE. IT DID NOT, BUT I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK (THE TRANSMISSION FLUID I HAD JUST PUT IN). I HAD TO CALL A ROLL-BACK TO TOW IT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID IT TOOK HIM A DAY AND A HALF JUST TO REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION. HE NOTICED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AT ALL. IT WAS COMPLETELY STUCK. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 50,100 MILES AT THE TIME OF THIS REPAIR. WE HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND TRANSMISSION COOLER, TOTALLING $3,061.19 IN REPAIRS. I CALLED THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT...

2001 DODGE RAM 4X4 OFFROAD - TRANSFER SEALS HAVE GONE OUT AND BEGUN TO LEAK 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. EACH TIME THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE SEALS REPLACED.

CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. ALSO STATED THAT ON MARCH OF THIS PRESENT YEAR THAT TRANSMISSION HAD FAIL AND NOW ON DECEMBER 2002 THE TRANSMISSION HAS PROBLEMS AGAIN. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 36000 MILES AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. MR
