2001 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2001 DODGE RAM PICKUP LIT UP AT AROUND 45,000 MILES. I HAD THE LIGHT CHECKED OUT AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT INCLUDING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 36,000 THE DEALERSHIP MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE WARRANTY WAS OVER AND THAT FIXING THE TRUCK WOULD BE MY PROBLEM. I RAN THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED, WHICH WAS AT 54,000 MILES. I HAD TO PUT IN A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. I WROTE TO THE PRESIDENT OF DODGE (DR ZITSKE) TELLING HIM OF MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT DODGE WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I DIDN'T EVEN RECEIVE THE COURTESY OF A REPLY. NOTHING. I AM NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF A REAL TRUCK (TOYOTA TUNDRA). I TRY TO MAKE...

IN 2000 I BOUGHT A DODGE QUAD CAB 1500 PICK-UP TRUCK, AS OF 2-23-05 I WAS EXPERIENCING A CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM THE MIDDLE OF TRUCK, IT WOULD COME AND GO. I ASKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT THAT DODGE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMITTING THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 36,320 MILES ON IT. CALLED DODGE AND THEY WOULD NOT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS GOING TO COST ABOUT +- 2,000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I GUESS I WILL BUY A CHEVY OR FORD NEXT TIME. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY DODGE RAM1500 WITH 63,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS STRANDED 5 HOURS FROM HOME IN MICHIGANS UPPER PENNISULA. THE TRANS. WAS SLIPPING AND FLUID WAS LEAKING NEAR THE TORQUE CONVERTER AREA. AS OF NOW THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND I REALLY DON'T CARE. I ALSO HAVE THAT CLUNKING NOISE EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL THE U-JOINTS. I'M DEFINATELY TRADING IN FOR A FORD. *AK

TRANSMISSION OIL ON THE GROUND. FOUND THE TRANSMISSION PAN ON MY 2001 DOGE TRUCK WAS ROTTED AWAY.I FEEL THIS PREMATURE FAILURE FOR THIS TRUCK MILLAGE ON THE TRUCK IS 34,000 MILES AND THE DEALER SAY NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS.I FEEL THE QUALITY IS IN POOR SHAPE FOR DODGE IF THIS THE CASE.THIS IS NOT MY ONLY DODGE I JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER DODGE AND ALSO SO HAD A 95.I WOULD THINK THAT A TRANS PAN WOULD LAST MORE THAN THREE YEARS. THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO NOW WHO TOO CONTACT AT DODGE . *AK
