1995 DODGE RAM 2500 Power Trainautomatic Transmissioncooling Unit And Lines Problems

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK IN CITY, NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING LATE, AND I ALSO NOTICED A SMELL OF BURNT FLUID. I GOT OUT AND NOTICED TRANNY FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THE GROUND AND ON THE EXHAUST. I GOT UNDER THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINE WAS LEAKING FLUID AT THE CONNECTOR, ON THE TRANNY SIDE. IT WAS SHOOTING FLUID ONTO THE EXHAUST AND LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND. I CHECKED THE FLUID AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE TRANNY DIPSTICK TUBE AS WELL. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION LINES BROKE DUE TO THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING FLUID TO LEAK. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT DODGE RAM HAD HER STRANDED IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR 3 DAYS, BEFORE BEING RESCUED THE PLASTIC REAINIER IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLER PRESSURE LINE QUICK CONNECT FITTING HOSE MELTED AND SPRAYED FLUID ALL OVER ENGINE . THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE AND SHE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER FOR HELP BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A RECALL SHE WOULD NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP IN GETTING IT REPAIRED.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION SPEWING COOLANT ALL OVER ENGINE. TRANSMISSION ULITMATELY FAILED. INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED A FIRE. TS

DEFECT WITH THE AUTOMATIC COOLER LINES. WHEN ENGINE GETS WARM TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD. CONSUMER STATED INCIDENT HAS OCCURED 8 TIMES. *MR

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH TRANSMISSION LINE BLEWOUT, DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION LINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 12 AUG 2001. *AK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION FLUID POURED OUT OF VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD, AND CAUSED VEHICLE TO SMOKE. THIS WAS DUE TO THE RETAINING CLIP COMING LOOSE. DEALER HAS SEEN. *AK

TWO TRANSMISSION STEEL LINES REPLACED, LINES RUBBED AGAINST EACH OTHER AND CAUSED A HOLE IN LINE AND LOSS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. CJ

TRANSMISSION LINES ARE LEAKING BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE FITTINGS. DODGE IS AWARE OF PROBLEM BECAUSE OF RECALL CAMPAIGN # 97V084000. BUT, RECALL ONLY CONCERNS GAS ENGINES AND NOT DIESEL. *AK THE TRANSMISSION LINES ARE RUSTING DUE TO INFERIOR QUALITY OF ORIGINAL PARTS. *YH

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE ON THE PRESSURE SIDE HAS SPRUNG A MAJOR LEAK. IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE SAME AS AND BE COVERED BY YOUR CAMPAIGN NUMBER 97V084000. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED. IF NOT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. IS THERE ANY WAY TO OBTAIN AN OFFICIAL LIST OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED?*AK

TRAMISSION COOLER LINES FAILED AT PLASTIC QUICK DISCONNECT, THROWING TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT. COULD NOT BE REPLACED, BECAUSE NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. DEALERSHIP HAD TO INSTALL NEW DESIGNED LINES, COSTING OWNER $872.72. *AK

THE FITTINGS THAT CONNECT INTO THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING LINES ARE PLASTIC, THE OIL OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE FITTINGS TO BUST, AND RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

THE QUICK CONNECT ON THE TRANSMISSION COOLING HAS MELTED 4 TIMES. THE MANUFACTURE/DEALER WERE NOTIFY ABOUT THE PROBLEM. DEALER NOT ABLE TO CORRECT FREE OF CHARGE. RECALL ON THE GASOLINE ENGINE, BUT NOT FOR DIESEL ENGINES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION LINE FELL OFF, FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT. TT
