MY TRANSMISSION CONSISITENTLY ACTED UP FROM ABOUT 15,000 MILE TO THE PRESENT. AT 38,000 MILES AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP THE TRANNY FINALLY STOPPED COMPLETELY. NOW 11 MONTHS AND 20,000 MILES LATER IT IS GOING OUT AGAIN AND CHRYLSLER SAYS THEY WILL ONLY PAY FOR PART OF IT THIS TIME LEAVING ME WITH ABOUT 2,800 IN REPAIRS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. WENT TO MY MECHANIC AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ELECTRONIC TESTING INDICATED TWO PROBLEMS: (1) TUNE UP WAS NEEDED; (2) SENSORS IN TRANSMISSION INDICATED PROBLEM. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AT ANDERSON DODGE IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICHIGAN, I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE 7-YEAR/70,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE POWER TRAIN. I FOUND THIS OUT ONLY AFTER CONTACTING THE CHRYSLER (DODGE) WEB SITE THAT I HAD THE 7/70,000 WARRANTY. THIS WAS TO LATE AS I HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE TRUCK TO MULTISTATE TRANSMISSION IN WATERFORD, MICHIGAN (ON M-59)((HURON STREET)). THE DEALERSHIP ONLY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A 3 YEAR/36 MONTH OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY (BUMPER TO BUMPER) WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, WHEN TRYING TO CONTACT CHRYSLER (DODGE) ON THE COMPUTER, DID I FIND OUT THAT I ACTUALLY HAD THE 7/70000 WARRANTY. IT WAS TO LATE...

MY BOYFRIEND BOUGHT A 2001 DODGE RAM IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK ONLY FOUR MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETLY REPLACED. TWO DAYS AGO WE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE SHOCKS. HE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD HIM ALL OF THE SHOCKS NEED REPLACING, AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS SUCH AS THE AXEL AND WHAT NOT. THIS IS ONLY SEVEN MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE THING. THE PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE RUDE AND VERY UNHELPFUL. THEY HONESTLY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE THEY HAVE CAUSED US.
